I've updated the interior with the aluminim shifter and ebrake and installed the B&M Short Shifter along with Gemballa pedals.

I didn't widen the rear (kept it clean)- I didn't want to cut into the actual frame of the car - I'll wait to buy a TT/C4S cab down the road for that.

Ruf did a nice one similar conversion using kevlar.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thanks Don! It turned out great- working closely with my bodyshop was time consuming.
I've updated the interior with the aluminim shifter and ebrake and installed the B&M Short Shifter along with Gemballa pedals. I think I would like to put in a 7" Pioneer 7500 Touch screen nav.
For the wheels - after reading the threads on the complicated big red conversion - I may just powdercoat the calipers to red. I am contemplating on the fixed wing- possibly closer to spring. I've purchased a battery maintainer and cover to put the car to sleep til then.
WOW!!
That looks amazing...just as it is, no wing needed...
Red calipers would really stand out, you should at least go for the red powder coating...

I would never have imagined that a conversion could come out looking so nice! Great work.
Are you looking to sell your old black aero front bumper?
If so, PM me.
Yes, please enlighten us. What did it take to pull this off. Just new lights and a bumper cover in front, or was it new front fenders and and hood as well? And what about the wide body rear bumper in the rear on a narrow body car, how did that work out?
Thanks guys for your feedback!
Real Turbo parts- no fiberglass here. The rear TT bumper was modified- not cut. I didn't widen the rear (kept it clean)- I didn't want to cut into the actual frame of the car - I'll wait to buy a TT/C4S cab down the road for that. I compensated by buying 19" rims to fill out the space and it finished off the car nicely. Ruf did a nice one similar conversion using kevlar.
Keep up with the posts- I may release this car first to Rennlist members- if I catch the TT bug over the spring/summer.
Wow!! Your conversion is AWESOME! That's exactly what I'd love to do to my 1999 996. The front and rear turbo bumpers ROCK!
Great job. Beautiful results. Congrats.
Awesome Job!!! Im very impressed and also mad at you at the same time!!!
Give us the details on exactly what was done and ballpark $$$ of you could..
And of course one suggestion.. paint your bumperettes its a nice touch..
Hi jkim,
I am from Mclean, and my Pcar is there right now. Can you let me know who you worked with as I am looking for a front bumper respray on my aerokit front. I like the paint on yours so maybe they can fit me in when I am back in the states in Feb.
Ash,
You've got PM- yes get the sideskirts
Kevin,
nice touch- maybe this spring. My Bodyshop talked me out of the chin spoiler and bumperette painting because those are the most susceptible to minor damage and would peel since paint doesn't bond too well with those parts- but I do like the look.
