Sorry to hear about your shunt. The narrowbody 993 shares the same front as the widebody so there would be no problem there. They also both share the same decklid. So it's only a matter of getting the rear quarters grafted on. The side skirts will probably need to be modified because they won't mate with the widebody bulge in the rear properly.

Now you can also consider the very wide GT-2 look with the plastic fender arches but that's a different story.

Sorry to hear about your car. You can get TechArt parts from CEC in Santa Monica, CA. Check out www.cecwheels.com. No affiliation with CEC.

Unhappy

Did the "kink" get you? Regardless, your fellow Rennlisters and I are sad to hear that you had a mishap at the Track. Be thankful you were not killed or seriously injured. I drove Road America about 10 years ago with Chicago PCA over the Labor Day weekend. Three (3) 5th gear straights, loved 3 into 4, through the tree tunnel "back to the womb" like experience.

You may also want to consider putting the car back to stock, selling it, and buy a genuine C2S or C4S. They appear to have incredible re-sale value...In SoCal they continue to hang in there at $70,000 for the C2S.

THe C4S was available with Big Red brakes as well. Good luck with the project.
