good à luck on your project . If you have any question let me know .
wgen several people are fou g the same project it’s a good thing to exchange sources and techniques

Did you convert from AWD to RWD with a G50 RWD tranny nose end? For me it was my biggest headache with the turbo tranny conversion to 2WD. Also found out the stock turbo GNK LSD is very weak or light, the friction plates wears out quickly, had to redo mine with motorsports friction disc.

Beautiful car!

Andrew at classic 9 leathershop did a perfect job making exact GT-spec carpet pieces for my car. Pictured is the car's original carpet with pieces made by them. An absolute perfect match. Included is a piece that replaced the rear ''seat backs'' and covers the seat pivot point all together that I have yet to install.

There are plenty of people that can manually hand embroider the logo, I know if my mother was still alive... You're in vegas, start here;

For the carpet contact Southbound in the UK; they offer individual pieces, and I believe they have retrimmed a real GT2, along with RSs, etc so they probably have the embroidery on file:

Default 993 GT2 wheel arch liners modification to fit

Hi, can i know how do you attach two arches together ? Will using rivets work ? And wat about the end of the arches, just leave them as it is or do we need to place something around it so as not to damage the paint on the car body.

Leong82 I'm pretty sure Lauerent is referring to the wheelwell inner plastic covers not the external fender arches .. the thread began where those looking to replicate GT2 liners could not find factory liners for extended flared cars..

Mine have been altered by the shop that did the flare install and simply extended the inner plastic liner with ABS black plastic cut to match ..
