Thanks for your reply so in order to keep the new 997 fenders un-modified I will need the sills updated to 997

this is turning into an expense jus To use the techart carbon arches

You're facing a STEEP uphill battle with this one. I would consider an alternative or see if body shop can blend in and or modify your arches to fit.

IMHO, it doesn't make too much financial or logical sense to graft in 997 rockers just to use some arches.

Do you have pics of the arches?

Sorry about the late reply, but alpine's right. It is expensive doing the conversion. Also i don't know if changing the doors will make a difference. Sorry :/

Hi, I know this is a really old thread but I'm thinking of doing this mod. For some reason, all the pics aren't showing any more. Is this because they were deleted from the servers? Any chance you still have the pics and could repost them?
