I did a search on this forum,but found almost nothing about this kit.Has anyone used it,or know anything about it? Has anyone seen pics of a car with this body kit? At that price,I would think it would be a popular kit. http://www.americaninternationalracing.com/gallerymore.asp?id=259246&page=2&galleryid=27022

Chad, I have posed thia same question. AIR has a good reputation for quality components, and I agree about the price, seems like a steal.

I really like the rear flare. That's about it.

The front spoiler is cool.

All these kit guys do up a front spoiler so it MUST be fixed with the front flared panels. IMHO the front flared look ruins the car.

I have the AIR ultra wide body rear quarters, and they are top quality pieces. For the total kit price, you can't go wrong. Personally, I love the D-prod look, and if I ever do get around to finishing the UWB project, my next project car will have this kit on it.

If you're asking for pix of my UWB, you can view the entire album of pix here:



Note that the AIR rear quarters are NOT on the car in these pix. I ordered them some time ago, and they are still awaiting installation, but they are very nice quality, and my test fitments indicated that very little or no modification will be required to install. I would definitely order from AIR again, as their service was excellent, goods were delivered on time, well packed, and reasonable freight charges for such big items.

I read somewhere that the "gt racing" flare is a replica of the carrera gt flare,and is a little wider than the 944 rear quarter panel.I wanted to know if that was true,and how does the "A.I.R."flare compare in width?also do you think the flares could be attached to the car somehow without molding them to the panel,and avoid repainting the car?

I'm lovin' this kit http://www.americaninternationalracing.com/custom.asp?id=259246&page=55 but I can't see spending $685 for the front drive lights.

The first kit mentioned - the one for the 924 - makes the car look just like a Datsun 280. Nice if you like that 70s look.

The red 951 looks good.

So they did away with the headlights completely by using a racing vented nose piece (may not have come from AIR since it looks like one I've seen from another company). It wouldn't look nearly as good with regular headlights anyway. Looks like the AIR 944 Turbo front air spoiler below the nose.

What else is on that car? Are those 928 mirrors?

I know the rest of the nose is from the AIR kit linked above and appears to be a standard 944 Turbo piece. I like that they don't have the side skirts, gives it a less tacked on feel than some of the other skirts I've seen.

Mostly it seems that it is a nice selection of wheels and decent body work and detailing.

How about using 13" wide wheels in the rear with 11" wide wheels up front?



285/30/18 and 335/30/18 tires! Fricken steam rollers man!
