Hi Guys,
Looking for opinions and anyone that has seen it in person or has experience with the kit...

FWIW, this isn't bolt - on. To do it properly, you have to cut the rear fender wells, new r. control arms, etc, so it all "looks" right. I've seen one or two done "not correctly" that look horrible b/c the rear wheel doesn't fit the well right. These guys (below) out of Miami also import a kit from Germany, which may or may not be from the same source as Loma. no affiliation.

The blue car done at Orbit 2 years ago was done "correctly" down to the last nut.

Also a big tell is that no one in the US has purchased the RS1 kit...

I also noticed the size of the rear wheel in the loma pictures looks like a 19 or 20 to the front being 18-19"... Definitely messing with spacing and I'm sure the suspension geometry isn't right...
I think I got what I needed, thanks!

Stay away from aftermarket body kits.
As much as i would love to have RSR treatment to my RS it is just not worth cutting up and glueing on body bits.
Gaps, filler, flex cracks etc. All bad things to such a nice RS.
To go RSR you gotta do it right. Same as the race car. Function first.

Either the Loma and KA motorsport would be great for an 'uglie ducking' 996 GT3 (sorry guys, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) or an accident car but not your gorgeous RS (unless you bend it god forbid).
Look like nice kits though and good to see some C/K not FG.

fixed, was on their website. You can see the front of the RS1 kit is a GT3R style with 2 canards similar to the RSR...
This is what I'm trying to verify with the LOMA kit. All their sales people are telling me that no suspension modifications are needed and I can't see how. The GT3-R Orbit did and others all required RSR uprights, modifications to the inside rear fender liner etc... Also looking at the distance from the front of the rear fender to the ground looks like you'd scrape it on the smallest curb getting into a restaurant, speed bump or your house...
Also a big tell is that no one in the US has purchased the RS1 kit...
