hi everyone first i would like thanks everyone on this great form, and i would like plz to get any sort of ideas or help from you guys...
i have a 2003 carrera coupe, i just had an accident with it and the front got damaged, so i have to change the right fender and the hood and the lights, so i knw this will cost me so i said why not have it done to a 997 conversion kit, what do you thing guys?
or have the turbo techart kit on my car?

i dunoo what to do and i am not sure yet what to do also, that y i will appreciate if i get any ideas or recommendations from you as i am sure you more experience for me in this subject?

another thing, i am also looking to have a new set of shoes for my car to , and i found one from wheel dynamic, i know they are aftermarket but i loved the way they look , he says it fit my car, but i dunoo also well they fit? they are 19'' ....well if i use 235-35-19 , 315-25-19 tyres and the wheels are 19* 8.5 and the rear 19*11.5 what do you think guys?

i will post pics of my ride soon, but for the time being just for your info there is no kit on my car at all ,, its a stock carrera 2003 coupe,

any kits available for making my rear fenders wider?

thanks in advance and plz feel free to give any idea or recommendation you want....plus what abt the wheels will they fit? i am really interest in havin a 19'' wheels for my car

 

Sorry to hear about the accident but it sounds like you're in good spirits and hopefully no one was hurt.

re; 997 conversion; that depends on if you like the round look of the front lights versus the 996 look (I prefer the 996 look myself). I have and love the Techart 996 look and would recommend that direction. Also resale value would probably take a big hit with any non OEM conversion especially the 997 conversion.

re: wheels,...need the offsets in order to determine fit. Just for reference I'm running:
Front 19x8.5, et 53, 14mm spacer, 235/35
Rear 19x11 , et 60, 305/25

re: wider rear fenders; I think Techart has a kit but I believe it's big $$$$ for purchase and install...

 

thanks fly996, yeah its been a month now since the accident and thank god no one was hurt in it .....
well i do like the round look of the lights but still i am more interested in the meantime lights i have on my 996 i think they look more aggressive, but the only think holding me bk from the 997 conversion is that i heard its not a direct bolt on process and it needs alot of fabrication and work to get it done? am i right?

abt the wheel i am not quiet sure abt the offsets yet i will check and let you knw soon...

what options do you think i go with ? the techart conversion with the turbo look and misha wing or conversion to a 997 gt3? it will be a complete conversion either way the front and the rear and i still dont knw wat to choose...plz give info if anyone have abt how much cost will be and which one is more difficult to have on the car???

thanks again

 

Just have the car repaired with standard parts, sell it and get a 4S or TT. You will be happier in the long run.

 

Agree.

 

I agree as well. I lean towards getting a new ride when its been in an accident.

 

If you still thinking of conversion, I recommend you to visit a good bodyshop. Talk to the expert on conversion using OEM or aftermarket. See how much work will involve with the project and the total cost.

I know my local bodyshop very well, so when I have question about exterior body work I go there to get my question answered.
