Well you have to start with the fender flares, IMHO steel.
The Whale tail is the next most obvious part. You will need spacers to bring the tires out to fill the fenders. The 930 brakes are pretty hard to find and very pricey but nothing looks as cool. If you don't have turbo tie rods you should consider those too, get the real too not the cheap ones. You will need bumper extensions to meet up with the flares.........what am I forgetting....... |
For just the widebody look, you'll need flares (front and rear), as well as a front bumper, a rear bumper (or extension pieces) and the side rocker panels. You'll have to decide on fiberglass or steel.
You'll also want wider wheels, or spacers/adapters to fill out the flares. Actual Turbo-looks had Turbo brakes and trailing arms, too. |
Don't forget the front spoiler.

Do you need a front bumper or just the spoiler and the extensions?

It might be cheaper to sell your car and buy a Turbo Look... I'm sure you could buy one cheaper than you could build one. IMHO... I'm assuming you're considering replicating all the features of the TL.
Just between the steel fenders, the aluminum trailing arms, 930 brakes you're talking some big bucks. At least it might be worth running the numbers up the flag pole if that is really what you want to do. |
Ironically my car doesn't look like that any more. I am turning it into a track car so I will have some of the body parts available. All used in good to fair (meaning cheap) condition. All will need paint but you would be painting after you convert anyway.
Whale tail front and rear bumpers and extensions |
you need the lower front valance and spoiler for the front, and just the qtr extensions for the rear, front and rear flairs, tail, wheels and spacers and rockers.
