I'm going to be using the Cargraphic carbon/kevlar fenders up front, but thanks for the offer. The Cargraphic add an inch width to each side, but are pretty subtle in their appearance.

Some pics of them installed on a GT3RS (not mine)

This looks awesome! Widebody modifications are scary to do because you can never go back. My friend who has 20+ years of doing bodywork and paint did the WRC widebody on my 2.5RS...it took a while, but the results were great!

I should've asked if you were going to sell your turbo wing, but I already purchased a used decklid/ wing. At least I know what it will look like on a white C4S!

be careful.... you seem to have two very different wide body looks from front to back. A more smooth integrated wide body like front and a harder rivet like rear in the liberty walk set up... have you thought about how the end result will flow? Unless you plan to full the rear and smooth out the application with body work?

thanks for the tip mickfluff. Ive done numerous sketches with how I want the car to look in the end, and it is going to be a bit different than most of the other 997 widebody projects that I've seen before.

And if things go really bad, I'm sure that it will just buff right out.

That's encouraging to hear about the widebody. I am sure, patience will be key

You'll love the look of the Turbo wing, and Factory OEM means no screwing around with fitment issues.
