Exactly its just another mod. Not a cheap mod, but something that I wanted to do. The widebody conversion with paint is in the ten thousand dollar plus price range. I just picked up the supercharger as well from Todd at Evo to actually try to spin those massive 315/25/19 's in the rear. Plus by the time I am done I will have spent 68K, but have a supercharged, 100 shot nitrous, new clutch and flywheel, 15" and 14" brembo brake upgrades, JIC cross suspension coilovers, metal widebody Techart 996 with a custom Cobalt blue paint job, full custom fiberglassed stereo in the rear seats with Strosek Wing, Strosek window spoiler, Porsche 6 Point Roll Bar, Bi Xenon headlights and GT3 Seats. I have plenty left over for fixing minor or major non warranty issues. The cheapest Turbo I found was 85K. I am still almost 20k under on a stock Turbo. I do understand that some members are concerned with why didn't I just buy a turbo, or buy a C4S, but we are all enthusiasts here on this board together because we share the same passion for Porsche. It does not mean everyone needs to agree on the same mods, and I am glad that we have to freedom to say what we want
Screw everyone else, your car is going to be one of akind
Can't wait to see this project finished......WOW!!!!
Good luck with everything....hope it all works out....
