That wide body wouldn't park too well in the skinny parking spaces we have here in Shanghai

Quick update

success!! my first part is pulled. came out pretty good, and popped with ease. i need to clean it up, trim it and stick it to the car. than i can start doing the bondo and pretty work. drivers side shouldn't be to far behind.

i would love some opinions on rear wings. i want something back there other than the factory wing. not to big(ricer) but something that stands off the a few inches but still looks classy.

I've seen a couple kits that use the 986 as the "Donor Car" as a matter of fact I was looking into the one Madmodz is working on when I realized that the 986's were not all that expensive in the first place.

Personally I really enjoy seeing folks creativity at work and its stuff like this that pushes boundaries and opens up a world of possibilities, like all the countless mods us folks enjoy here.

I wonder if anyone has listed all the mods that are possible, because I'm thinking there might be 100 or more.

i love seeing thread where people change things up.

Nine8Six · 01-26-2016, 07:17 AM

As far as my knowledge goes RE molding, there are no hard written guidance as to "how to" best method etc. This to say that whatever method(s) and materials you feel comfortable with is the method you should be using.

Very interesting thread and thanks for that. Again, don't rush your work. Make it shine like no others buddy. Unique stuff... thinking out of the box... creativity, love it

ok guys this is going to be a big post. PLEASE give me your input.. criticism .. be nice

so the rims came today and i had a chance to put them under there and see how they look. i think i need to go wider. but i don't want to get to wide and look silly. please chime in on how this is looking also any ideas on louvers, vents, body lines you think might look good on the rear quarters. please point it out.

also now that i'm adding a bit more width. any thoughts on the contour going from the top of the rear quarter to the tangent of the top of the wheel well being concaved or convexed? kind of hard to explain.... should i have the contour bubble out or in to the lip of the wheel well. this is only above the wheel that i'm talking about. i attached a pic of the wide body on my corvette i did to hopefully explain this.

one more thing. the height of the flat on the wheel well is about 1/2" right now. what do you think it should be? (i'm pointing to this in my corvette pic)

thanks for any input guys, really needed and appreciated.

Carry on

I know this will sound completely contradictory to what I've been saying lately but I'll say it anyway; can you speed up things a tad?!

Barely can wait to see how badarse that boxster car will look like when completed (in all honesty) lollll

As for my stuff. I put some more mud on it today so as soon As it drys and i can do some more shaping to what i added i will post up some pics. Its cold here in michigan so this mud is taking for ever to kick.

Thanks for the pics guys. I added a little detail to the vent area with the new mud i put on and im going to do something different with the lip around the wheel well. Update soon.

Oh hey quick question, whats everyone thoughts on air scoops on the roof? If i redo my top to emiminate the bubble look and extend it back a bit to look a little more sleek i was thinking about the scoop. Any thoughts?

The Ruf CTR3 Clubsport has a scoop on the top.

And it's a full functional one which adds a lot of sound to the cabin, because of the pop off valve - around 14:20

If it's only fake, i woudn't like it.

Good point to consider. I do kind of like the look but not sure id want the noise.

Thanks

Looks good. What size wheels and tires are you using?

stelan · 02-01-2016, 11:22 PM

I like the subtle curvy lines, are you lowering the suspension as well and how much lower if so?

adjustable coilovers but not sure if I'm going to lower it any. with the tall tire, its going to fill up the wheel well a bit so I'm going to wait to see how it looks before i decide.

the "subtle" approach is what i was going for so THANKS for that

i wanted to keep the classy sports car but i wanted a little growl in the look at the same time. the lip around the wheel well and around the vent i think add a nice muscle touch to it.

working on the other side.

thanks guys

Oh I might add this tho... can you ask a site admin to move your thread in the DIY section of the site. One thing you got completely wrong from the start is placing this in the general section. Well not exactly 'completely wrong' mate, you know what I mean. This site could do with more DYI like yours any day.

Again, awesome work
