Cal Raj at Culver City Customs 310-202-1555....He does TT and C4S conversions....The TT conversion I was quoted about 10K total....That included rear quaters, side skirts, bumper lights decklid, etc....I saw one and it looked PERFECT...could not tell.....this was a few years ago..prices may be alot cheaper and a C4S rear may be cheaper.....There are also wider than widebody kits....they do those as well....This one was done by Raj.....its also supercharged with the Misha wing....

Thanks Newport!! Now that's what I'm talking about!! That is a PHAT ***! If a C4S rear conversion (or wider ) is in the 5 - 6 K range, I'm going for it.

Didn't Vince own part of iForged wheels. I remember him posting a picture of a kid sitting inside the rear lip of the rim it was so deep.

Thanks, John!!
I called. Interesting - those are steel flairs they made in house for that car. They said the flairs are about 1 1/2 inches wider than the C4S bodywork! They cover the seam in the rocker with a side skirt they modify. That ***, they figure, will cost around 7 grand.

Indeed, the guy's work looks awesome. However, shipping my car back and forth across the country is too big an expense. Today, I also checked with the guy who did my front bumper. He said if I wanted to go stock C4S, he can get the rear quarters for less than $500 a side. If I provide the bumper and the rockers, he said he could make it all work with my stock tail lights and deck lid for $3,500 including paint, (Plus wheels and tires, and the Misha wing). Ostensibly, I'd be getting "C4S flairs" with a C4S bumper and after market rockers massaged to fit, not a "C4S rear conversion," which is fine with me. Especially since he said if I wanted to go wider than stock he could do that very easily as well. This guy's work is pretty good and he does it on some very expensive rides. I think this is worth investigating further.....
