Hey, Marc,

Yep...my brother Don has moved on to motorcycles, an interest we both share.

Actually, I reacquired it. I bought it 10 years ago, sold it to Don in 2006 and bought it back a few months ago. It has lived in my garage the entire time as Don's place doesn't have one.

Sweet! Man I bet that is one wicked ride. Wish you lived in TN. Love to see that thing up close. Nice work!

Which body kit is that?

Is it from Better Bodies Motorsport?

What was the fit like?

Did it cost much to have fitted and painted?

I'm thinking of doing a similar conversion

Ted, your car was just in Total 911, correct? I love that magazine. They did a great write up.

I was quoted $40k to do a 993tt widebody conversion

And that's with ME supplying the body kit and all lights/lenses.

I had my car in bits and pieces in 2009 but decided not to turbo widen the car.
I also knew that if i did not widen the car i would regret it but then again if i widened it i may have regret that too.

The paint on my car is a 10 out of 10. A really great paint job and costly enough.
I have friends that is car painters so i can convert to wide body if i want to for a okay price

Have not decided if i should sell the car and then start a new wide body project(RSR or 935)or just turbo widen the car.

I for sure want to widen the car after reading this thread

Where do you buy turbo wide fender flares. rockers, side skirts in the UK or US and how much are those parts?

The car as it looks like today(not a mark in the paint) Twin turbo set up

your 911 is too nice for the torch!
Save yourself the hassle/time of dealing with a body shop and just buy a completed widebody 911.
