photo shop help please 964 "R"

[TRE Cup]

We have a client considering changing his 964 into a 911 R inspired look.
Can some one take a side view of the 964, "install" the early rear lamps, early bumpers f + r, and R louvered quarter windows? (leaving the 964 rocker covers on)

Appreciate the help

Like this? (rdane's car was the donor)

If I were him,
I wouldn't retro fit early R stuff to the car but rather make a modern version of the 911R with what we have out there today in the way of lightweight parts and kit for 911's.... It would be so much cooler IMHO than if he were to try to make a 964 look like a early 911R .

thanks ian- do you think you can put the 964 rockers on an R pic?

Hi Eric
Yeah- we thought about that too- smooth out some fiberglass 964 bumpers, inset some R lamps out back in some angled blanks that mimic the shape of the tailites, dense screen instead of the center reflector, etc- things like that would lend a lot of R attitude to a 964 body

We are just exploring options right now on the concept- kinda like Chip Foose - Pelican members helping design style !

appreciate the thoughts

[Erik Mckenna]

I LOVE the concept though!!!! i know it will be wicked once finished!!

[imcarthur]

Not great, but you get the idea . . .

Dave,

I am a huge modify it fan but I have a hard time 'seeing' this one, let us know what you fellas come up with.

I wouldn't do the old R front end.. I'd keep the 964 lines and just apply 911R touches to the newer design sort of a 964R if there were such a beast.. but make it a contempary car.. not a retro if you know what i mean.
