If you’re planning a body kit for a Porsche 964, the first decision isn’t which brand to buy from. It’s whether you’re going wide body, staying narrow with bolt-on aero, or picking individual pieces like a ducktail spoiler and rear window intake. Each path changes your budget, your install complexity, and what fits your specific 964 variant. This guide walks through the real options, what they actually involve to fit, and where original carbon fiber and aluminum parts make more sense than a full-body conversion.
Every 964 body kit decision starts here. A narrow body 964 (most Carrera 2 and Carrera 4 coupes) keeps the factory track width and bolts on flares or aero pieces without touching the fenders underneath. A wide body conversion, the kind associated with the 964 Turbo or a 964-style widebody, adds width at the fenders and usually calls for a matching offset change on your wheels.
Wide body work is a bigger commitment than most owners expect. It typically means new front and rear bumpers, widened rocker panels, and flares that get bonded or welded into place, not just bolted on. Full conversions in this category commonly run into the tens of thousands of dollars once paint and labor are included, and that’s before wheels and suspension changes to fill the new arches.
For most owners chasing the Turbo look or a cleaner stance without rebuilding the car’s shell, staying narrow body and adding a bolt-on carbon body kit gets 80 percent of the visual impact for a fraction of the cost and downtime.
OCParts’ Carbon Fiber Flared Fender Body Kit fits Porsche 911 models from 1974 through the 993, including the 964. It’s a combonation of bolt-on and bonded (rear quarters and rockers) process: front fenders (left and right), rear quarter panels, and a rear bumper, built in vacuum-infused, heat-cured carbon fiber layup rather than the fiberglass wide body kits use.
The material choice matters more than it looks on a spec sheet. Fiberglass flares are heavier, flex more at speed, and are far more prone to stress cracking at the mounting points after a few years of heat cycling. A carbon fiber flare holds its shape and cuts real weight off the corners of the car, which matters if you’re also chasing better handling balance, not just looks.
Because this kit fits F-Model through 993, confirm your exact 964 variant (Carrera 2, Carrera 4, Turbo, or RS) before ordering. Mounting points and factory arch dimensions shift slightly across those variants, and getting this wrong can be frustrating for inexperienced builders.
The 964’s factory whale tail is iconic, but a lot of owners building a cleaner look go with a ducktail instead, especially on Carrera 2 and RS-style builds. OCParts’ Modern Carbon S-Style Ducktail Spoiler is built for the 964 and G-Model, with a taller profile than a stock ducktail that adds real downforce instead of just changing the silhouette.
Our modern ducktail blends into the factory rear bodywork without cutting or reshaping the decklid. An optional aluminum grille is available for the engine cover section, which is a detail worth deciding on before you order since it changes the fitment of the surrounding trim. Many other aftermarket grills will also fit our standard sized grill opening, or we can leave the opening close so you can cut the opening to suit your specific needs.
This is one of the most fitment-specific parts in the 964 body kit category. OCParts’ Carbon Fiber Rear Window Air Intake Kit is built for 964 and 993 Coupe models only. Targa and Cabriolet cars use a different rear window geometry and this part will not fit those roof styles.
The kit includes factory green tinted acrylic rear windows and CNC-machined intake bezels with integrated black wire meshes, engineered for a precise fit against the coupe’s fixed roofline. If you’re not sure which roof style your 964 has, check before ordering. This is exactly the kind of part where “close enough” fitment doesn’t work.
Most people researching a 964 body kit assume every option is a weekend bolt-on job. Some are. Others aren’t.
Before budgeting a 964 body kit project, decide honestly which category you’re in. A carbon flared fender kit and a full welded wide body conversion are not the same project, even though both get described as “body kits” online.
Not every body kit component needs to be carbon fiber. Aluminum is the better choice for certain brackets, grilles, and reinforcement pieces where impact resistance and easier repair matter more than shaving grams. Carbon fiber earns its place on large panels like fenders and flares, where the weight savings are significant and the part isn’t likely to take a direct hit.
One practical note on lead time: carbon fiber body kit components ship from OCParts’ production facility in Germany, while aluminum components ship from Denver, Colorado. If you’re combining carbon flares with an aluminum grille or trim piece, expect two shipments rather than one. Check each product page for current lead time estimates before you plan an install date.

Backdate builds (sometimes called classic look conversions if you’re newer to the hobby) often use 964-specific carbon body components to bridge an earlier chassis toward a later, wider stance, or the reverse: taking a 964 and giving it a cleaner, earlier-look profile with a ducktail instead of a whale tail. Either direction, fitment against your specific donor chassis and year is the detail that makes or breaks the final result.
Builders working across multiple client cars should confirm fitment per chassis before ordering multiples of the same kit. Production tolerances and prior repair work on 30-plus-year-old cars mean no two 964 shells are perfectly identical.
A narrow body 964 keeps the factory track width and fender dimensions. A wide body conversion widens the fenders and typically changes wheel offset and tire sizing to match.
Some components, like the Carbon Fiber Flared Fender Body Kit, are engineered to fit both 964 and 993 chassis along with earlier F-Model and G-Model cars. Always confirm your exact model and year against the fitment table on the product page.
No. Carbon fiber ducktails are often finished in gloss or matte clear coat and don’t require paint, though you can paint to match your car if you prefer a body-color finish.
No. The Carbon Fiber Rear Window Air Intake Kit is built specifically for 964 and 993 Coupe roof geometry and does not fit Targa or Cabriolet models.
Carbon fiber components typically weigh 30 to 40 percent less than equivalent aluminum parts and considerably less than steel or fiberglass, though the exact figure depends on the part and its structural requirements.
Lead times vary by part and current production schedule. Check the specific product page for the most accurate estimate before ordering.
It depends on your goals. A full wide body conversion delivers the most dramatic stance change but comes with significant cost and downtime.
