Body

General-

As with any automobile, body modifications are available for the 964 from mild to wild. Whilst some owners would not touch a thing on their car's, others feel the need to customise every aspect of their car.

Various suppliers provide a range of body modifications for the 964, though perhaps the wildest designs have to-date come from Strosek. Strosek has produced a range of body conversions that include the incredible "shark eye" wide body conversion, down to a simple front and rear bumper change. Note that imitation/reproductions of these body kits are also available.

RUF (on their 964 models) were rather conservative by comparision. Perhaps their most notable change was the removal of the rain gutter along either side of the roof line, and the inclusion of a Carrera whale tail to accommodate the intercoolers of their modified vehicles. Less notable changes included a one piece front spoiler.

Techart, likewise provide subtle modifications that include front spoilers, clear indicator lenses, rear RS imitation bumpers and wings.

A note on wide body conversions- if your car is a standard narrow body, modification to wide body will restrict performance given the greater air resistance, additional weight and requirement for significantly larger spacers on the wheel hubs.

The Author's Car-

Rear bumper was modified to the RS look (original Porsche part utilised). In addition, a Techart front three piece spoiler was utilised as were clear indicator lenses.

All subtle changes that have not affected the car's performance in any way but have modernised the car somewhat.
