944 front fogs/brake ducts

[lordlee]

how easy is it to fit 968 door handles, am i going to experience many difficulties? what other popular mods are there to give the car a more modern look?

so far i know of the following mods:

968 mirrors, door handles.
Bridge spoiler.
Clear indicators.

Guidance required...

Why thanks very much, I helped put that together

968 handles fit straight on where the 944 ones come off. www.clubautosport.co.uk sell a complete fibreglass kit to change your 944 into a 968 if you really wanted to.

Personally I would just go and buy a 968 instead

[lordlee]

good issue you have raised there. i have had a look at the kit on the essential styling website, looked good on a convo that i saw too. would be half worth doing for the fact that a 968 turbo is just uber rare. dont know about you but i prefer the look of the 968 but the performance of the late '44 turbo.

any other thoughts peeps?

depends on the full price after painting/fitting properly etc, id be worried about rust protection/body integrity afterwards as well

that red 944/968 conversion on that site does look pretty good tho, and the 944T's extra tuning potential is a big bonus, however id personally just get some 968 mirrors and cup 1's and spend the rest on getting the mechanicals rejuvenated

Would it not be cheaper to turbo/supercharge a 968 than get an aging 944T body converted properly?

[lordlee]

not a bad plan. no cup 1's though as she is sitting on 911 18" gt3 wheels. mirrors are on, awaiting front/side clear indicators to go on.

deciding at the mo between the 968 adjustable spoiler and the '44 bridge spoiler, thinking the bridge spoiler looks a little more subtle though.....

not really, 9M's 350 bhp supercharger is 5k+ i think, theres several US guys with turbo'd 968's but thats again a similar price and i think alot of them use most of the 944T engine anyway, they never seem to be as easy to run/reliable as a proper 944T as some 'work arounds' are nearly always needed

im no expert but just the impression i get from 968.net forum

Come on, you know you prefer this one.

Doesn't the snow cause drag, or is that just an option?

I still think if you factor in resale and everything you would be better off going down the 968 route.

[lordlee]

no but a very similar car is at www.diateam.no/porsche/
this has the same wheels. this one is the old style though without oval dash etc. not as nice in my eyes.

[funbobby]

mmmnn like them a lot! wonder if they do replica sets of them?

[lordlee]

i like the porsche replicas on this site.
