I think Fiberwerks is coming out with a '24 front end.

The friend of mine who painted the stuff owns a body shop here in St Louis and mixes the paint in-house. It looks dead on.

If Karl does come out w/ a product for the 924 I'm sure it will be a good one. After the initial frustration with trial and error fitting and fabricating additional brackets I am really pleased with the result.

Steve

I got it out today for the first serious road trip. I just gotta get that first little nick in the paint to get it over with. I put about 250 miles on it running up to one of my businesses in central Illinois. The car looks fantastic, definately a head turner. Now if I can just get the SC here I will be a happy guy. There is a large European car show in St Louis tomorrow. It was my original target date but w/o the completed motor I will just have to be a bystander.

any chance of lining up the exhaust with the cut out? or is it just a bad angle the pic is taken at?

also, up here in ontario, i think it's law to have a plate on the front of your car.. where would you mount it if that were the case?

Plate is going in the mouth from behind. We gotta run them here also. It is a combination of angle and the bracket being off about 1/2" on the exhaust. It will be rectified.

Steve

so your plate is going behind the fiberwerks part then, showing through the mouth?
hmm.. be interested to see just what that looks like..

Probably bad but it's gotta go somewhere and I'm not mounting it in front.

Steve

I think putting the liscensce plate on the bumper would look fine. Besides woundnt putting it in the "mouth" produce a lot of drag?

Probably will create some drag but I can't stand the idea of drilling holes in the bumper, plus I want something a little different.

Steve

Car is looking great, can't wait for the SC'd pics.

Love the badge as well btw

I love your front and back bumpers. Is the back one the standard fiberwerks or is that special one)something like EVO2). Also where did you order the supercharger?
Love what your doing to the the car btw

The Fiberwerks products are actually the old style. They may even be discontinued. I really like the way they look. Karl runs a very good operation, I would definately buy from him again. If you do buy something take your time and get it to fit before you even think about painting. I will post the results of the supercharger after completion. It is as they say...a work in progress.

Steve

I just noticed you're in STL. I live south in St. Francois county, about 50mi out of downtown. I really like how your car has turned out, its what I want to do after my 924S. The 24S is a great runner with the 44 engine and all but it lacks in the looks department without the flared fenders......

looks pretty good. nice work. I was worried that it wouldnt fit that great

Thanks. It took a while. It really does fit close. It's not perfect but it looks good if you like this sort of thing. The only bad thing is this stuff (not only the Fiberwerks) is expensive and time consuming to attempt to do it right. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed and have had to read a bit then have help from people to at least get this far. It handles fantastic. The engine certainly sounds tight, doesn't leak anything, and is ready for the blower. I have been assured everything will be here within the next couple weeks. We have taken advice and gone to a stand alone system w/ 6PSI boost to be careful. I will be @ a dyno before the belt goes on. The lower end is new, we installed a 951 head gasket, new fuel pump, going w/ extra injectors, blah, blah, blah. All the electrics are working. The interior is done. Stereo is done, Windshield goes in next week. I'm sure I will reactivate the post this winter while I am replacing the transmission and clutch. Even w/ a realistic 175 RWHP and about the same Torque (should be achievable w/o blowing anything up) I would expect it to be a great car. I like it better than my 964 C4 Targa, a lot better. It's the only one like it in town.

Now I gotta find something else to buy and add to the herd. I'm seriously thinking about a mid-90;s M3 ragtop 5-speed. Those things can be made to be blinding fast.

We need to have an STL area P-car meet so ou can show this thing off to us... I'm rightdown from SoCo and eresener is in Caledonia with is about 45 minutes south of me.... I'd love to see your car in person. It'll probably just be another stick in me to pickup a project car...
