Hi,

I bought my kit from Rennspeed and it did fit quite well compared to other kits that I’ve mounted. Off course there are a lot of job to get in place but not any major cutting etc. I don’t know how you will solve converting it to a GT2 though since you have the narrow body, in that case you have to change the rear fenders first to the wide fenders. This is the reason why I went for the RSR kit instead.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I will order then the RSR kit.

I do like the bolt on look.

Here's my 993 now. Before surgery. I haven't started yet.

The flares is thick and good quality.

You can see pictures of the car on page 5. That's more or less how it looks now after driving the first summer with it.
There will be some updates during the loooong Swedish winter, but back to that later

Did you just screw the flares on or did you fibreglass them also.

They are only bolted on so that they easily can be removed if needed (just like the original solution).

Maybe it’s time for some updates from off-season work.

Focus during the winter is restoring/updating the chassie and brakes. This is the new set-up that's going on the car (the car already have 930 suspension):

Front:
-930 steering arms
-22mm sway bar
-21mm torsion
-Bilstein RUF suspension
-Struts with 40mm dropped spindles
-Adjustebal bump steer kit on the steering arm
-Weltmeister bushings
-996 turbo brakes

Rear:
-21mm sway bar
-29mm torsions sway a way Hollow
-Bilstein club sport suspension
-Weltmeister bushings in the sword
-944 turbo brakes
-Trailer arm monoball

First out is restoring the calipers and modifying the rear calipers to match the font:




Stickers instead of the old logo:






Powder coated green with black stickers (clear powder coat over stickers), only sealings left to fix:






I have changed the Boge struts to Bilstein (RUF) with dropped spindels etc:




Powder coated with new stickers:

Nice work, it looks great!! Did you put something between the fender and the flares? It looks like there is a black line, more pics?

In Sweden the summer is on its way (although we had snow yesterday…) so it will be nice to hit the roads again!

Meanwhile I post some pics from a big car show that I showed the car at a couple of weeks ago









I had some nice company in the stand


Thanks, Meguiars for some great products
