Please, don't buy any items from this place. First, it's overpriced. Second, he uses wrecked, recycle parts to sell them as conversion. It's obvious the name of the company located in Sunland, CA said it all.

Rear end is much more differcult. More work, more surgery and cost can be very expensive. Maybe that's why not many vendors want to touch the rear....

Damn, that conversion looks amazing, probably so much work to get the fenders out that wide and look that smooth. Very nice job on that though.

I think he used 997 front fenders, bumpers, hood, rear fenders/bumper/tail lights and engine lid.

That's why he's missing just the interior to have a perfect clone.

Actually this kit isn't that expensive. I'd personally go with a 05/06 C4S, but they are around the $60K mark. Hey if you had a 99 carrera, this would be really cool to do in my opinion. It's in the back of my head if I picked up a 99-01 cheap. I think it would be a cool project. I'd gut the interior and make it look like a track car, then no one would know....hahha

You could also pick up the 997 Aero/GT3 kit, make it look like a GT3 RS!

Actually on the front goes for like 4k without labour. The auction just states the bumper and other fiberparts but not the headlights, electric cables, bumper light etc....
