Default New 968 Body Panel Supplier in Excellence

Just got the April 2004 issue of Excellence. On page 145 there's an ad for some interesting (albeit pricey) 968 body panels.

I don't know if I like the flanks of the front spoiler: it may be a little rice. I like the front air intake openings, though.

I'm intrigued by the 993 headlight fenders. I didn't see any finished install pics on their website. Anyone handy with Photoshop . . . ?

They're also doing suspensions but since their website is in Japanese, I don't know any more details:



Anyone recognise the suspension parts?

There is an English version, but it doesn't have the same pics as the Japanese (go figure). You have to click on the "For English" link once you get there.

That bumper looks like a GT2 Evo front end. At last.

Very very expensive though.

Can't wait to see the pictures of the rear diffuser.

They are a bit pricey but Im glad someone is even trying to make kits for our cars. I would like to see a car with the kit on it in person before I make any love/hate judgements. The rocker panels look interesting, not too drastic a change.

The ad in Excellence has a better view of some of the pieces installed. I think the website leaves a lot to be desired - I expected to see some better pictures there, e.g., multi-angle shots of a finished car. Maybe if we all e-mail their webmaster they will post some.

Oh my. That's hot. Oh yes... very hot... I've always hoped that someone would allow for a change in the lense angles...

Best wishes,

Not just the angle, but you can get the Litronics installed as well...Yay!

And, for those using Internet Explorer, it shrinks the image to fit your screen, it is a full 10x7 pic, hovering the mouse lower right and clicking on the icon that appears will enlarge the page.

There was a lot of talk about 968 headlight modifications on the 924/944/951/968 general board a while ago. I believe the concensus was that 993 style headlights would be amazing... thus I shall be xposting it over there

Now, anyone want to sell me their 968?

Be safe,
Sach
