bumper and rockers kit?

k9handler · 08-27-2004, 01:44 PM

I have a question on who manufactures a kit I have seen on a car here in Germany. The car has a 964 front bumper (appers normal) but has a side rocker to turbo flare quarters (all one piece) and the rear bumper houses the tail lamps and there is no reflector...this allows the entire bumper to blend with the quarters and beneath the rear deck. Anyone know of this kit? I will attempt to go and take a picture of the car tomorrow, it's looks pretty nice with the wide flares and smooth deck/bumper and no tail.

Welcome back, Smitty.

Thank you Jack, it's great to be home and able to see vehicles that run well on pavement...after 6 months of beat up/modified hummers the smooth roads here are quite a treat! I am going to go and get a pic of the red SC today so you all can see it.

Welcome back Smitty

if have no idea what kit but it sounds great, you don,t need flares in the back then? sounds good ! you need some wider rubber in the back

k9handler · 08-28-2004, 04:42 AM

this car has flares with rockers attached...all one piece!
I went down to see the car and it's gone. but I am leaving my camera in the van so I can grab a pic the next time it's there.

Well my wife thinks I am crazy...but I have a pic of the car!

So anyone know who makes this kit? It must be Tuv approved here in Germany since it's on this car...not sure I would want to do this to my car but I do like the look.

that is the old 911 pre 87 Stroske body kit.

your going to need more cow bell when driving it like this

k9handler · 08-30-2004, 09:06 AM

ha ha...more cow bell for sure!

I like the wide look sans tail, but the rockers just don't look right. The back end is different, but not as nice as a Ruf or IROC bumper.

The owner needs larger wheels and more rubber to fill out them flares. I did speak to him and he seems nice, so I may go a visit one day over a few Hefeweisen.

I agree. It needs a littel something somewhere - nerf bars maybe?? they could even be black rather than chrome.

It's a huge improvement of the giant black wart tho.

And, where doe the nice doggie ride?

Be careful Smitty, it's an SC

! Glad to hear that you are back at your home away from home

thanks Pari....
I would not consider something like that for my car, at the most I would consider some flares and fiberglass bumpers. I just thought the car was something to share.

I agree, somethings up with those rockers, also I prefer the Porsche Lens in the rear. It may look a little better with some different wheels, maybe some FM 10's or Kinesis K28's

. Does he have the stock 3.0L in there?
It must feel like paradise to be back behind the wheel of the 3.6L, I think we need to see some pictures of your 911

I don't have mine back yet as it's still being worked on...this weekend I am going to go and get it. The red SC has a fresh 3.0 with 3000 km on it...I was told it has 240 HP and runs great.

rickeolis · 08-31-2004, 07:43 AM

Yeah, but your's has over 300hp and if you put flares on it will out-handle this red car! You should build yours up to look like the picture you show on your Yahoo board, the yellow one, that would be the show-stopper!

The wheels in the pic look like the two new ones I just picked up: Their from O-Z racing, and are 16x8", I'm looking to get some r-compound tires for them now...
