Both doors are installed and adjusted now. Also some bits and pieces here and there are back on the car.
The flares, side skirts and rear bumper got coated today. And tomorrow we will paint the front bumper and tailbase. Then it's assembly time on Sunday/Monday.

I bought some U-shape rubber trim from a local hardware store. We glued it to the edge of the cut sheet metal fenders to protect the edge from rock chips and prevent corrosion.

looks like she's coming along nicely Juha! My car, on the otherhand, has been sitting for the past 3 weeks untouched because my friends over at my body shop evidently have "other priorities" right now...

I'm a newbie here & actually decided to join when today I started scrolling threads on wide body 993 projects & came across yours. I'm also building a wide body 993 project as well. I love your build & the color is sick! seeing all the pics & stages of yours keeps me motivated on my project. Thumbs up

Great move with the u-list. I'm always freaky with the rust so appreciate stuff like that.

Just a little teaser (flares are just sitting there, not tightened up and gaskets missing):

Crazy color choice. I would have never thought of that. I love it!

Question
Do you use fender liners when these kits are installed?
Is there any modification under the quarter panels to prevent dirt and mud accumulation?

Very nice built, I love the tires...

In order to do this to my 95' C2, i assume i would need to install wide body rear fenders?

Also, what offset are the BBS E88 wheels? (I have a set of these wheels on my 07'RS and wonder if they would work on a 993 GT2 project?)

I was thinking that also and whether there is anything between the flares and body?
