955 to 957 Rinspeed Conversion Finished !

Well I've been working on this project for nearly 5 months. It was big pain, but the end results are just stunning IMO.

My car was a standart 04 CTT, with 18" rims and without aerokit. It was bone stock.

I get the Rinspeed x-treme kit, 22" Rinspeed wheels with 285/35/22 tires, I painted the engine bay, brake calipers, rear insignias and interior aluminium trims to porsche yellow and the engine block to gunmetal.

I took out the secondary cats and and put a valve system exhaust with turbo s tail pipes. And got the K&N filters and the sprint booster. (amazing !)

So now, before and after

That car is too sleek to have badges at all, much less extra ones. Great job!

well not everything but yes.. Rear bumper fitted well but the front took a lot of time. But the fenders, arches and hood fits without problems.

And I put the S badge because as I took out the "cayenne", just the turbo badge on the rear lid appeared so small so I decided to put the S too. And as I'm planning to do some plenum, ecu, intake stuff, it'll be close to 530-540 hp range, so I can overtake a turbo s easily. just a thought

Clean car! I agree it might look better w/ no badges on it. But very nice as is now.

I applaud the work, I'd lose the "S" and add a silver hood crest to finish it off. Congrats and enjoy in good health.

Exclamation K&N Airfilters Contraindicated

So now, before and after
According to my service manager at Scottsdale Porsche, K&N air filters were NOT recommended on my CT because the pair of oil based filters would ruin two sensors that cost $800 apiece.

I have long admired & used K&N air filters.

Can anyone clarify whether or not my advice from the dealership is legitimate or not?

Thank you

Love this. Agree on dropping the S...but also think you should drop the badges all together. On this custom truck why bother? Would be STEALTH that way too
