Default Fister D wide Ovals

Hi All,
I have been checking darren's website lately and I see that he is no longer offering the wide ovals for wide body cars?? did I miss something, will he be offering these for sale sometime soon? I hate the look of my stock tips and I need a set of wide ovals for my C4S like yesterday....... Was hoping to get them before the weather gets nice again.

Not to hijack your thread Ryan, but here I am selling my car with a kid on the way in August, you just had twins and buying stuff. You wanna trade places for a little while, You are making me second guess my decision for sure.

Now back to regularly scheduled wide oval search

Call Darin...maybe his website is mistaken...I can't imagine that he made that change since it is popular.

Hey Chris,
I still think you should keep the 993, I toyed with the idea of selling but the wife stopped me dead in my tracks and told me I am not allowed to sell it! "I knew I married her for a reason" She said that I get such enjoyment and not to mention stress relief just from driving the 993 that I wasn't allowed to sell it. That is true love! Anyways I understand that I will use the car less this year than previous years but I also know that my twin girls will love going for spirited drives to the beach next summer! Now I just need to find two recaro booster seats for the 993! I am going to have to keep the car and sell it when they decide to go to college, to finance that in 18 years!!!! Good luck with the sale and have a blast with your new bundle of joy when he/she arrives. Parenthood is truly a blessing that I can't even describe in words! Here is a picture of the girls sleeping.

+1 on the baby birls. Mine make everything all worth while! You are a lucky man! That said, anxiously waiting to hear if Darin makes them for a WB. My new car needs them asap!

gorgeous girls...

cpdjfd107, I have 4 kids (ages 10, 8, 3 and 1) and use my C4S as a daily driver. I even drive car pool a few days a week. I saw your car listed for sale...don't do it...If you do sell, you will regret it, decide to get another one, spend 6 months looking and end up in a similar position...all before your child is 2 years old. The extra coin you will be spending on taxes, inspections, etc...could be spent on mods or better yet on a college fund for your child...Only my $.02 having been there.

Also curious about the wide ovals

I'm pretty sure Darin is having a supplier problem .. being able to consistently get the high quality tips he needs to produce them .. per the recent thread on here about trying to create Widebody Wide Ovals. Give it a search .. there's a couple of discussions about it .. then call Darin for the latest update.

that's EXACTLY what Darin did for me a long time ago...He has a jig set up to weld the offset to them.

The price was very reasonable, and they fit like a glove.

Drop him a line to verify, and get em boxed and ready to go!
