The Porsche 996 has always be the 911 chassis which Porsche enthusiast seemed to like or loathe, the marmite of the Porsche line up, personally we love it, we have no issues with the front headlights which is the most talked about area of the car as this is the area that people dislike, but you only have to look at cars like the DP Motorsport 996 DP5 to see what you can do to the 996 look, admittedly that look comes at a huge expense, but you can do such a lot to the 996 model and make it look stunning for a relatively small price.

Carbon Fibre Wide Body aero kit for Porsche 996 Chassis


 


For the standard 996 C2 or C4 narrow body we offer the slant nose, which some will love because you lose the oem front light set up, for the wider C4 or Turbo we offer our very own super GT2R Evolution wide body that give the wider Porsche cars an even more aggressive look, available in light weight carbon fibre or our all new cloth based GRP, so let’s look at the GT2R evo aero upgrade and see what you get in the conversion.

The front bumper is a wider RSR/ GT2R affair that is mated to a pair of much wider front fenders with huge extensions moulded in ready to house 10.5” to 11” wheels, you can even fit a 12” front set up if you can find the correct road tyres, but be warned this is a very aggressive set up that is really only needed for an out right track car, for road use we recommend a 10.5x18 with a 275/35R18 tyre. The side skirts connect these huge front blisters to an even larger rear quarter flare that can house wheels 14x18 wide sitting on 335/30R18 or 345/30r18 rear tyres which mate to a wider Turbo style vented rear bumper, aggressive diffuser, ducktail engine cover with a choice of rear wing assembly, it all adds up to a nice little super wide 996 aero conversion that will turn heads, even the heads that dislike the 996 in its o.e.m disguise, 19" wheels can also be used for this conversion if required.


For those that want to enhance or even lose weight from the 996, we also offer, carbon roof replacement, carbon fibre light weight doors, polycarbonate windows, front hoods, and a stunning carbon rood scoop with light weight rear window.

It’s been the weekend of the Osaka Auto Messe in Japan, and the old & new crew have display yet another show stopper, built by AP Garage in Japan and what an amazing Job they have done, its come out looking amazing, it really is a beauty.

Porsche 996 Slant Nose

This time they have built the slant nose for the 996 model in turbo form, and this is the Version 1 of the aero pack that will keep the rear Turbo bumper and a race style GT rear wing set up, we think this version will be a very popular one, as its more of a take on the over fender, slant nose look of the older generation Porsche 930 models, and we know some Porsche fans will be thinking, great as it gets rid of the 996 front headlights, they are like marmite, you either like that front end look of the 996 or loathe it, to be honest we like the OEM 996 front, but we very much prefer this slant nose look, who wouldnt.

Porsche 996 Slant Nose

The colour and wheel choice is also a different take from the last 997 build, and this is very much reminiscent of the old turbo fan style and for us this is the best wheel choice so far, in fact its giving us some ideas for our own slant nose build.

Contact the sales team for more details on this slant nose build for your 996 or your 997 Porsche, as we now have both conversions available for Turbo or non turbo models, as a fully build conversion or as a supply only.

We can't quite believe its been three and a half years since our blog post about David Huang's awesome Top Secret G Force wide body 996 Turbo, as its our favourite 996 to date, we thought it would be fitting to repost on our new blog for our all new website, have a read if you havent already done so, as this is one awe-inspiring Porsche.

We are real car enthusiast at VAD, it’s not just a job it's a passion, our way of life, we totally live it in every way, building cars, wheels, Interiors, there is never a true statement that defines VAD as a company ... built not bought.

Every now and again a car comes along on the VAD radar and really grabs our attention we then have to find out more, this happened to me in particular when I first clapped eyes on a little picture of David Huang’s wide body Porsche 996, it just blew me away and off I went in search of more details of this epic looking 996 Wide body.

We knew all about the Top Secret G force super wide body when it was first launched but its so rare, from memory Bullet Proof Automotive were the first company we knew of that had blogged about the conversion when it was launched and brought it to the public eye especially stateside, at the time we liked it but it didnt blow us away, maybe it was the colour or even at that time the wheel choice Top Secret used, now don’t get me wrong the TE37 is a timeless classic when it comes to wheel design, the quality of the rays wheels is breath taking we are huge fans, but not for a porsche 996 for us it just didnt look right.

Now fast forward to 2012 when I came across David’s prime “A” class example of how this conversion should look with a fantastic choice of colour, what an absolute piece of car art, we would be proud to call this conversion our own, the vision the quality of work and the parts used are a credit to the owner hence the reason we got in touch as I just wanted and had to know more about this build and I wasn’t disappointed, the spec list that David sent me is rather awe inspiring... just take a look at the at the quality surrounding this car, now we suggest you brace yourself for pinnacle parts heaven.

Its build like this that need to be shouted about, David has taken a very rare high quality Japanese wide body aero kit and applied it in such away it looks factory, the detail, fit and finish are just sublime, the 996 has always had mixed reviews around the globe it’s the 911 that a lot of Porsche fans and purists were split over, it was a like or loathe, personally we love it but in this disguise we love it even more, David you should feel proud to have built such an incredible looking radical Porsche 996 with more than enough power to match the beautiful looks, a car VAD would be more than happy cruising the streets in.

Last we would like to thank 1013mm for the superb photography skills ... such beautiful shots that have really captured the quality and presentation of this build, Enjoy the car David we know we would.
