There's always the tought that altering a 993, especially in such a radical way is sacrilege, but the truth is that in my opinion RWB reaches the line between sublime and ridiculous without actually crossing it. I LOVE it! I think it is the ultimate car because anything more would pervert perfection into disaster.

Thank you for posting. It really got me thinking and I am seriously starting to think about doing the same.

Boy, that will be one aggressive looking car.... it will be interesting to see what it looks like at the end.

What are the target wheel/tires sizes?

And roughly what does something like this cost?

Cheers,

Mike

I like it!!! Especially the color of the car. Seemed appropriate for the body.

What are you planning on doing to upgrade the engine? That RWB body calls for at least 400whp.

This is what I used

$14 at Harbor Freight... cuts sheet metal like butter. But, be sure to order a bunch of the blade replacements (they do dull and bend easily)

Was this car purchased via eBay from the east coast and now in Florida? Looks like the 993 I was ready to purchase but the other buyer sent in a deposit 10 minutes before I got to the bank.
