Custom wide body build. Tuner style. Photos
#31
Thanks much again. We're finishing up getting all the gaps and body panels lining up to each other, as
close to perfect as possible. Also had a chance (no photos yet) to work on the carbon fiber inserts on
the rockers (duct), the front bumper air duct (in front of the hood), & the rear bumper pieces that the
diffuser attaches to. The car should look nicer, broken up with carbon fiber accents on the front, sides
& rear... is what I' picturing. I'll post more photos as soon as we get those gaps looking perfect. Maybe
tomorrow.

I've already bought the Gemballa rims for the car & fitted them. The spacers will be fine. I've built many many custom
Porsches over the years. One 911 (which also happens to be the orange car in I used for my avatar) needed 3.5 inch
spacers to run the wheels I wanted. I was told by a few other Porsche shops I know, to call RUF... as they run spacers
often (& also have the high HP engines to put those spacers to a test). I did, and was told by a tech at RUF, that I'd be
OK running 3.5" inch spacers in the back, as they've done it many times with zero problems. I've owned many custom
wide body Porsches over the years (with spacers, to run the wheel I want to run) and have had zero issues. All will be
fine with those spacers. They probably look worse in the photo than they are in person. I'd add a supercharger to the
car & not be afraid to run them. No worries. ;o)

A little carbon fiber work on the rocker panel duct.... The red primer has been sanded away in spots.
Tomorrow the car should be looking much better by the end of the day and 99% ready for paint.
I'll see if I can get a few shots of it with the back rims on tomorrow.
Thanks for the additional "REP power" everyone!! 16 to a 24!! Nice.

Thanks.
Here's a photo of the rear diffuser, which goes down below the exhaust on the rear bumper. You can get a better idea of what
it will look like installed (black car). This piece was just cleared over the weekend... it still needs to be color-sanded & buffed.

Yes. I have the 4 exhaust surrounds. I guess I could snap a few photos of
them to share. I forgot about them... they've been sitting around for a while.
I'll see if I can remember tomorrow.
I haven't run the new tubing to the center of the rear bumper yet. Will probably
do that after it's painted.

Thanks. ;o)
Here's a couple photos of those exhaust facia pieces. The exhaust pipe will
actually go through the center of these. Looking something close to the 3rd photo.
