Wow ! dare I ask...$$ ?

:x lol
i know they don’t offer them anymore. I’ve always wanted a widebody rsr but, I knew how awful a aftermarket kit would look. Seeing this oem set makes a world a difference. I can see so many areas that would be left out for reproduction purposes.

A work of art. That would be cool just to hang on the wall...expensive art though I’m sure. Is it plastic?

trendy996 03-10-2018 08:23 AM

All carbon fiber.

Viper,
does the car in your avatar use regular headlight buckets like street cars do?

Yes it uses factory headlights. Car started life as a Carrera Cup then was upgraded to an R later so retained headlights.

Original R cars use the bucket that is part of the carbon fiber fender -- as with your fenders. Porsche Motorsport had options for a couple of different headlights that are nothing like a street car (or Cup car). The factory R headlights are covered by plastic headlight covers, available only from PMNA. I heard a recent rumor that they may be NLA, though.

trendy996 03-12-2018 08:51 PM

What does NLA stand for? I’m trying to figure out if this is going to even be a feasible thing for me to swap onto my street car. I know I’ll have to address the fuel door.

NLA is No Longer Available

trendy996 03-12-2018 09:57 PM

This isn’t looking like I’ll be able to use them then :/
I’m not one for modifying rare parts like this.

pretty cool

trendy996 03-15-2018 01:05 AM

They really are. I keep going back and forth whether or not to use it. I have another question from looking at it. Does the R use different radiators that sandwich between the bumper vent and the carbon ducting that connects to the bumper?

Zimspeed makes a pretty good copy of that, also in CF.
