2018Porsche 928 GTS | Widebody Kit with Overfenders
Ever since driving an early Porsche 928 at the age of 21 I loved these futuristic but timeless grand tourers. The only thing that always bothered me design-wise was the shape of the fenders. On the later models they are wider, but still have a weird shape that make the car look strange when lowered. No worries though, as this can easily be improved with photoshop. While at it, I realized that this wouldn’t work on the real car and I had to find a solution. Overfenders have been popular to fix wheel fitment issues for decades and are now more popular than ever before. Instead of taking an exaggerated approach like Kato-san from LB Works, I designed a more subtle set of overfenders that tie into the original design of the 928 and cover the concave Forgiato wheels. To clean up the flanks, the door handles have been integrated into the side trim of the car. The air vents are integrated into the original bodywork and help to keep the brakes cool.
Originalists might cringe and prefer to look at the original picture.

OMG it’s the dream version of the car! I AM IN LOVE!

Thank you, Mickey! 🙂

You are a genius, if the car was produced today as you have re modelled it people would be queuing up to buy one. The problem I have now is how do I make mine look the same🤨
Sebastian Motsch
Hello Neil,
thank you for the kind words. I like the idea of long queues in front of dealerships. 🙂
Cheers

Do you have photos of the car from the rear, either a 3/4 of 7/8 or straight on?
Sebastian Motsch
Hello Mel,
thanks for your request, but I only made the side view. Maybe I’ll create a rear view some day.
Best regards

Restoring a 928, like you said the fenders are old school. That stance and setup is perfect, is the body modes a kit ? Going to change out the motor for an LS going to make a nice cruiser for me. Thanks and very nice ride.
Sebastian Motsch
Hello Greg,
no, this is not available in kit form unfortunately.
Best regards
Sebastian
Zane
Where did you get the body kit?
Also how can I get the fenders flared line this
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Zane,
as there is no kit available, you’d need to get the tools out and build it. Go for it… and make sure to send pics.
Best regards
Sebastian
Jim
Very cool indeed. What color would the body color be ? I wonder if the wheels would fit on a stock GTS.
Sebastian Motsch
Hello Jim,
the wheels might fit on a stock body car, but the stance as seen in the picture requires the fenders to be trimmed.
It’s the original Porsche silver.
Best regards
Sebastian
