I have looked into having RWB modify my car. They are more a fancy body shop than anything else. They charge a kings ransom to hang some fenders, facias, and rockers. Yes the work is high quality, but I wonder if that quality will remain with the potential volume here in the US. Remember that 993's and 964's are fairly rare in Japan not here.

I would imagine that the quality would continue. If it fell off, people would hear about it pretty quickly.

Also, I don't reckon their volume will increase that much, perhaps 10-20 cars per year per shop. Thats as much as 100 cars per year world wide. (I'm not sure there is demand for that many...)

I love the look of RWB. I too would have a hard time deciding on stock or RWB if I have a 965.

But let's look at reality and history.

Gambella is a wild body kit type of company (not aware of what performance enhancement they also make).....look at the value of Gambella modified 911s today. They are laughed at and joked about.

RUF don't really make body kit. They make the engine and driveline. Look at the value of a RUF yellowbird/BTR/CTR today, and how much respect a RUF gets.

Who was it that said "fashion [or fad] fades but style is eternal"?

My car is already highly track modded 3.6

tasracer,
Which flares do you have 964 or 993? Any pics?
I really like the look of his cars.
