Rear flares and front fender vents are CF from ZIMSpeed, 996 RSR ones.
Front hood and front bumper are CF from anonymous Belgain manufacturer.
Front flares are GRP from one German vendor, generic 993 (Yes!) pieces. I did not want to buy expensive 993 CF parts without knowing their fitment to 996's fenders. It seems that the curvature is similar. Just some trimming at both ends is required. fenders are still steel ones, while there is neither GRP nor CF fenders available for mkI if one would like to keep OEM Litronic headlights.
Rear fender IC scoops are finally steel in RUF style.
Front and rear tracks are widened more than 10 cm (4"). Wheels are 10x18 et 37 and 11x18 et 5 (I have parts for 12,5x18 et 36 wheels, but we don't have wider than 295-18 semis in Europe). Front LCAs have 20mm shims on both sides plus 997's wider inner ends. Strut tops are 8mm further outboard on both sides and "not rotated", so minimum camber is around 3 deg.

Zimspeed is owned by one of the Zimmermann sons. Ekkehard Zimmermann - DP Motorsport - is the guy that built the Kremer K3 and Alzen "Turbinchen" amongst others.
Nice Pete!
I am looking forward to the results as well!

Thanks!
OEM style (it's CF like the hood) front bumper fits without mods with those flares. Measured from tyres' outer walls front is approx 1900mm and rear 1920mm wide.
