We got all original Porsche Motorsport panels for our car, including the ridiculously overpriced under-tray. The total cost of completing a project like ours is so crazy....even we won't do another one LOL...

I have been puzzled by this since the first time the Champion RSR appeared on this forum, and in print. Let's say you sold the car to a customer. What do you guys do if one of these expensive panels breaks and can't be repaired?

They are all genuine RSR panels from Porsche Motorsport, so I guess the only option would be to replace it with the same original part. Aside from a crash or an accident though, I can't imagine why any of the panels would break. The carbon fiber is really strong, so it should be able to stand up to the same abuse as the metal panels.

That under tray is sick. I did a Cup S conversion to my 08 cup car and it was crazy expensive. I see they even use a different carbon fender liner.

We made the fender liner in house...it didn't come with them. We wanted our conversion to be the way Porsche would have done it if they ever built an RSR street car. So we put a lot of time and effort into the finishing touches...like fender liners, headlight buckets, body seams...etc etc.
