I have some questions. Because its buggin the hell out of me. First, what does it take to make a wide body car in general. And second, could I use a techart full body kit on a wide body car somehow? Please give me details. Thank you

 

You could graft metal extensions onto the panels of the car to widen what you have...it'd be expensive and a good body shop would be subtle with it and I can hook you up with the shop that did the widebody on my M3.

Another alternative is to buy the fenders, bumpers and quarter panel skins from a turbo (assuming yours is not a factory widebody) and have those mounted...also expensive.

I have a friend who did a custom widebody on his Toyota Supra and the total work was about $30K, including paint, to do it in metal, all handcrafted.

I'm sure someone here can advise of the parts needed to convert a non widebody 996 into a widebody and perhaps give some ballpark dollar amounts.

So I couldnt use the Techart body kit in it? And thanks craiglieberman

 

If you placed stock 996TT body work on it, it would be a bit easier.

To be sure, call Joe at Backyard Creations (562 area code, I think).

This is his specialty. He works in metal, fiberglass and carbon fiber. Truly one of the best kept secrets in North America.
