They borrowed some 9ff, some Ruf, a little Techart....

I have seen some insane projects by Top Secrets. I do like this 996 widebody however, it must need serious power to back up the aggresive look.

I do not see any stuff from 9ff, Ruf, or Techart.

If one could find a wrecked/totaled Gen I 996 NB, invest the $14,000, would be a fun project.

Looks nice, but not my cup of tea. This is basically a kit car. If you want a wide body buy a C4S or a Turbo.

Not really feeling it, the rear looks like an R8 and is too squared off.

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 $.
