Hey guys, curious to see what the general consensus on the forums as about RWB.

Nakai’s recently started working on 997s, so I was curious if any here had one? Or is it a bad word around these parts? I actually didn’t know they were often disliked by porsche owners until recently.

Video for reference:
Basically trying to “feel out” the forum as I’m new to the scene and unfamiliar with larger thought processes that might be obvious to others.

Thanks!

I like them the most on 964's then 993's. The 997 styling, the WB is perfect as is IMHO.

Can’t wait till he does a 992. The car will be about a lane and a half wide and properly hog the road and parking spaces everywhere

Hard pass but that's just me

Same. I have a few friends with RWB 993's and I think it's a shame to cut up the gorgeous lines of these cars for that RC car look.
But, you do you :-)

There ok ... I get why he does what he does and I do appreciate the uniqueness of his work .... Im just not into mod's especially in the extreme sense of the word.

Some Porsche lovers may scoff at the car, while others may welcome it. I prefer to embrace the ingenuity and passion that each RWB represents.

Akira Nakai's work is art and art is subjective, we all get to like the art we like.

I'm more interested in modifying (carefully) the way the car drives and rides on street and track. I've added Martini stripes on my car that, IMO, work with the lines of the car. That's as wild as I'm getting, there's already so much art of an engineering type in the car.

Love RWBs, especially the 964s.In the Porsche community, its generally a love/hate with them.

I have seen a few in person. In my eyes its art (masterpiece).

Not a fan. I don't like flares that's aren't integrated into the body and look bolted on.

It's pretty wild that a massively widened RWB 964 only has rear tires as wide as the stock base 997 narrowbody (265mm).

It's all artwork, for sure. It makes more sense to me for some reason on the pre-993 cars. Imagining the cost of pulling this off well, I would save my shekels for more cars.
