Think of doing RWB kit on my 930 Turbo. Thoughts?

I am a proud owner of a 930 Turbo, the body isn't perfect(prior body work) which makes me want to make some changes. What are your thoughts about RWB ?

Most of our guys here love the look. Like you said, if the body is in rough shape now would be the time to do it. You'd have a real head turner

they for sure are great looking. what part of NY are you in? they appear to be set up to drive on pool tables or anything as smooth as a pool table which NY roads are NOT!

that being said i would probably do it especially since the vehicle does have prior body work.

slightly off topic i recently watched a shop cut the quarter panels to fit a liberty walk kit on a 458 and I got shooting pains in my chest!

If I were a proud owner of an original 930 Turbo I would do everything in my power to keep it as stock as possible. However, if it has a troubled history, the car has little value and then RWB might be worth looking into.....???

As mentioned above (RSC) consider your surroundings. Having a vehicle that looks amazing in photos isn't always a very usable vehicle in real life. Know your routes and ALL YOUR ENTRIES AND EXITS BEFORE EVER DEPARTING FROM YOUR NON SLOPING DRIVEWAY. Else, just trailer it a few blocks from your intended destination and roll in low and slow.

I like RWB kit. How bad is the body currently? Would love to see a few more pictures. One of my favorite cars.

It's not bad at all, but nothing that a purist will be attracted to. The current bumpers and wing are aftermarket, I do have all original parts, they were included in the sale when I purchased the car. The left side quarter panel has some body filler but nothing crazy. I guess it's not as bad as I made it sound but here..

By the looks of it you're in BK? Im guessing near bay ridge?

Im close by, car looks great as is and RWB is definitely beautiful, but to be honest, your car looks great as is.. enjoy her!
