Are the rear fenders stock or modded?

Thanks for your reply.

Joe S.

The rear fenders are at least modified with the air vent holes. I don't think they are widened, at least it's hard to tell from the pictures.

Dudley

Very Pretty. Quite a few expensive mods for only 11,000 mi - rear fender s-ducts, gemballa side skirts, stereo, sub woofers, door panels, trunk carpet, lowering springs, gemballa turbo deck, euro bumper, brake ducts, clear corners and chrome 18" wheels. With such few miles and they still managed to scuff up the bottom of the front bumper.
I would like to hear the story on the low miles for sure.

Well ahead of the wheel-arch that 'S' treatment is........the chrome wheels are bling, IMHO, and would go.
But.........she's pretty.

TheOtherEric

Wow- that's one of the most blingin' 993's i've ever seen. To each his own. I'd have serious reservations about a 993 that had NEITHER any front truck storage NOR any back seat storage. That would be a pain.

Something about the car makes me kinda nervous, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the disfigured door jamb sticker (removed for paint??), or the 4 owners, or maybe just the Gemballa work.

TRINITONY

looks like a c4s convert..kinda...

Leland Pate

Looks like MTV finally pimped a German car.
It's too much, in my opinion. But you know what they say about opinions.

Reminiscent of the many salvage cars listed by Wicked Motorworks, very hoopty.

TheOtherEric

Bingo!! Whenever I see a car that's so bling, my brain immediately assumes it was a salvage car that Wicked Motorworks blinged out. Blech, that gives me the heebie geebies.

I don't like how rear wings look on Cabs. Chrome wheels are bling. Front spoiler has been scrapped from that suspension being sooooo low. Oil pressure on idle shows around 1 ~ seems low. Not a single picture with the top on...wonder how it is. Ohhh...and did I mention...it's a Tip.

Other than that... I really like Midnight Blue!

Dudley

Oh No, Not a Tip!

Not a cab converted original widebody (not a C4S - see brakes, and not a C2S - see gauges).

The car is narrowbody cab with rear fenders from a turbo-s - you can tell from the rear that its a widebody. It does not look like the s-vents were added to narrowbody fenders since a widebody bumper is used. The side skirts are from Gemballa and part of the reason they were used may have been that as part of the fender conversion they need to either put on sideskirts to cover up the narrowbody rockers, or replace the front fenders in order to use the the factory widebody rocker panels.

Most likely the car was in a rear collision and hence the replacement of rear fenders and the rear turbo bumper, and retaining the stock NB front bumper while only deleting the bumperettes.

cabrio993

Good observations..that may explain as well the 11K miles. The car has lived half its live in a shop!

However, the front fenders and bumper size for a NB is the same as the WB's. Only the rocker panel, rear fender and bumpers are different.

When I read an Ebay description as flowery and laden with bullsh!t as this one, I immediately wonder what the seller is trying to cover up.

What really caught my eye was the manufacturer's decal. For a car with only 11,000 miles, the decal sure looks mighty banged up and nicked. Hmm. Could it have been removed for the repaint, or did someone unsuccessfully try to remove it? Either way, that car is way too altered for my taste.

Actually that's not correct...the front fenders of a widebody are different than those of a narrowbody - they are the same width, but the widebody front fenders have a different rocker panel section so they will blend into the main rocker panel below the door. Agree with you though that the front bumpers are the same size - if you look at this car and consider all the work done, then you'd have to wonder why the front bumper was not changed to a TT or TT-S unless either the owner preferred the NB bumper, or because it did not need replacing like the other parts.
