Hi all. Can someone please tell me what body kit this is?

Does anyone have add'l photos of this car (or one w/ the same body), particularly shots that show what the front treatment looks like?

I think it's sweet lookin'!

Happy weekend,

Man, my heart skipped a beat when I thought maybe *just maybe* you were referring to the body panels costing $50K!

But I see the follow-up posts now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks, Jon!

And general question for everyone: Is Bontempi a person? Company? Still around and selling the flares? Do they make a matching front set? Pix of said front flares? A quick google search didn't yield any useful matches. Of course, it's 11pm Saturday, so I'm prolly not trying hard enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I believe his name is Rich Bontempi. I am sure Sheridan could make those for you as well. He does very nice work and always has a nice finish to his poducts.

Rich Bontempi at HPH (High Performance House), awesome shop!! I get all my parts from him and he is kind enough to ship cheaply to Japan for me. Excellent guy and he sells those rear fenders too.

Here is the link to his site for you

That nose does not look like a Sheridan front.

The shape looks more like the AIR SCCA Kit ...

I don't think that is an AIR front nose.

If you look at the AIR website, you can see the differences in the front air dam.

On Rich's home page, click 'porsche', then '914', then '11-Performance', scroll down to see the body panels with pics & prices.

It is a Sheridan. Leeds bought it from Roger many moons ago.

Thanks, JP. I think this is definitely one of the more attractive flaring schemes for our cars. Thanks, everyone, for all the info/links/clarification.

In that case it's a one off as the front flare part looks nothing like any of the current Sheridan fender flares ...

I wasn't talking about the air dam portion, i was talking about the front fender flares.

The shape is certainly much closer to the sharp edge of the AIR flares. The Sheridan flares are much rounder with no sharp edges.
