Just a quick little update. Full features of the car will be soon posted but I ended up finishing the project and also doing an LS1 swap as rod bearing #4 failed.

I entered SEMA Battle of the Builers 2017 with the car, came in top 10 for Young Guns and top 40 for overall.

I love the widebody look. Makes the car look 10 times as aggressive. That's a nice looking car.

Thanks guys.

De Jeeper, there are a few feature articles coming out shortly for the car including one potentially with a major Porsche publication so I will hold off on sharing the full build until the features are published. The rears are 19x13's.

But for sponsors involved and the components used:
EPR International (Carbon Decklid)
Estilon/Toyo Tires (Toyo R888R's)
Phantasy Kolors (Paint)
Function First Performance (shifter riser + transmissions inserts)
RenownUSA (Steering Wheel)
Wavetrac (Differential)
Savini Wheels (Wheels)
Sparta Evolution (SEMA Location Sponsor)
Built LS1 with ported heads and Texas Speedcam MS4 utilizing the Renegade Swap kit

But here are some pics of the car.

Look's great pete! here are my 911's together. Ignore the stock wheels on the 996. use them for flatbed transport.
