It's Marine Blue. The color is actually darker than the pics in the earlier post indicate. Here's a shot that is closer to what it really looks like.

g60pops, the wheels are TruDesign Fuchs 17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear, both w/custom offset to avoid the need for spacers. Tires are 215/45 and 275/40.

And fat cab, thanks for the kind words! :)

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.

Wow, that looks just awesome!

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 :cool:

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?

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. :)
