Thanks! I started with an 01' Turbo that looked like this:



the fitment of the kit came very very bad, no gel coat, air bubbles everywhere...etc etc, lots of bodywork & strengthening had to be made; definately not worth the $.
You did that to a twin turbo....

i sure did, and that kit's actually made for the narrow-body (as for the fitment issues, they are more than just the difference in the rear arch).

Thanks; as for the wing, it should fit the C4S w/out much mod (?), but I'm sure it will have the same issue as the oem turbo wing for the regular C's.

I love the hyper-aggressive lines of this kit if it were on a race car, a la DTM Benz

On a street ride, the whale tale, rear fascia, and paint scheme are egregious.

i give you credit for stepping out and daring to be different. It is crazy for me, but I can appreciate all the effort you put into that car.
