hmmmmm, depends on what look youre going for. do you want it to look like a 993? or do you want a 964 with bolt on carbon flares? if its the latter, great!

i do ALOT of body work and i'm intimately familiar with both body styles. (having worked on both) first, keep in mind anything can be done with body work (honda accords with lambo headlights etc) if someone is going to take actual GT2 flares and MAKE them fit your 964. i would REALLY question the results aesthetically...

the shapes are different. completely. aside from the obvious, lets talk details. the plane where the front bumper meets the the fender is in the same spot, the hood is raised about an inch and a half, the top 'bump' of each fender has more of a slope on the 993 AND its wider. it doesnt have an 'add-on' style flare, its grafted and countoured as opposed to the 964 'flat sides'

the rear countour on the 993 starts imediately following the door jamb (again, as opposed to the 963 flat sides, then add-on style flare around the wheel well) and the plane where the rear bumper meets the quarter panel is i think 2-3 inches higher on the 993...

anyway, long story short, theyre completely different shapes. the 934 flares would fit the shape. otherwise, without a full 993 rebody, it'll look like you 'forced' the gt2 flares on...lay-people will say 'hmm...im not sure what it is, but somethings not quite right'

i'm not trying to discourage you, just friendly advice. i do alot of custom body work, and automotive design/fabrication is something i spend way too much time on....

either way...good luck!
