Porsche 911 Outlaw Build Guide: Parts, Style, and Inspiration

An outlaw Porsche 911 is a personal take on the car: perhaps wider bodywork, a different engine, a simpler cabin, or a few changes that make it better suited to the way you drive. Start with the car you have, a budget, and a clear idea of how you’ll use it.

Choose the bodywork before ordering individual panels

RS, ST, RSR, IROC, and Turbo-style parts have different proportions. Decide which look you want, then match the front and rear widths, bumpers, rockers, and tail. A style name does not guarantee that two parts will fit together.

The 1973 RSR-style body kit is a starting point for an early-car project. For a later chassis, review the separate 1974–1994 RSR backdate kit. Confirm the contents and installation work for your exact car before ordering either kit.

Wheels, flares, and ride height belong in the same plan

Choose wheel width, offset, and tire size before committing to flares. Check clearance through steering and suspension travel. An 11-inch RSR rear flare does not guarantee clearance for a particular tire; the wheel and suspension setup matter too.

Compare 9-inch early RSR front flares and the stock-width RSR front bumper by their stated applications. These are different-width options, not a matched set.

Plan the mechanical work with your workshop

Engine, exhaust, suspension, and brake changes affect more than the parts being replaced. Ask your workshop to check cooling, fuel delivery, gearing, wheel clearance, noise, and road-use requirements. Finish the chassis setup with the appropriate alignment and corner balancing.

Keep the cabin usable and the safety equipment compatible

Check seat mounting, driving position, steering-wheel clearance, and restraint compatibility together. Race doors need a suitable safety plan; light weight alone does not make a component appropriate for a road car. Have a qualified installer assess seats, restraints, and any cage work.

Questions before you start

Will an RSR kit fit my 1986 Carrera?

The later-chassis backdate kit is the relevant listing to review, but confirm your current bodywork, mounting and latch arrangements, and the supplied parts with Bexco and your body shop. Allow for test fitting and finishing.

Will modifications improve resale value?

There is no guarantee. Buyers value originality, workmanship, and modifications differently. Keep records and retain original parts where practical if future resale matters to you.

What should I do before paint?

Fit the panels, hinges, latches, lights, seals, and trim together. Check gaps and clearances before final finishing. Our 911 modification guide has a practical order for the work.
