What a Widebody Kit Does to the Porsche 911 (964)
The wide 911 is the oldest widebody tradition in the sports-car world, and Porsche started it themselves: from the 930 Turbo onward, the flared 'Turbo-body' 911 was the factory's own wide statement, and the 964 generation carried it forward with Turbo models whose pumped rear arches made the narrow-body cars look like different vehicles. Every aftermarket wide 964 plays against that factory heritage — most famously RWB, whose riveted conversions took the wide-911 idea somewhere Stuttgart never sanctioned. A widebody 964 therefore chooses between two lineages: the factory's smooth Turbo-look tradition, or the cut-arch counterculture that made this exact chassis the most famous widebody platform on earth.
What a 911 (964) Widebody Kit Actually Costs
The wide-964 decision tree has three branches with very different economics. The Turbo-look branch — smooth steel or composite flares in the factory idiom — is restoration-shop territory, $10,000–$25,000 with paint, producing a car that reads as Porsche intended and preserves the most resale of the three. The RWB branch is a commissioned experience more than a kit purchase: Akira Nakai builds each car personally, the arches are cut, and the cost (kit, install and the pilgrimage-like process) runs well into five figures on a chassis whose clean examples now trade at collector money — the full calculus our 964 JDM-style page explores. The third branch is the modern composite market: bolt-over and replica wide kits at $4,000–$12,000 serving builds that want the silhouette without the commission or the cut. Underneath all three, the 964's air-cooled values dominate the maths — narrow-body cars have appreciated relentlessly, Turbo and RS models sit in blue-chip territory, and the honest rule mirrors every collector platform: the rough and long-modified cars carry the conversions, the clean survivors increasingly deserve preservation or a render.
