Talking Transformation well on its way!

Well now that my 996 cab finally arrived a big thank you to all for the support that was shown.

My car is currently under way from Baby Boy to Stud! I just finished removing the nose, Rear Bumper, Cats, headers & Backboxes. The make room for my New Complete exhaust & GT3 nose & bodywork...

See Photos Below

Can't wait for Spring!!

Damn...you wasted no time at all huh? Nice wheels, what happened to the Carreras? If you're interested in sell them lemme know.
Not sure about the taco wing. The carrara wing is kind nice on a cab. Its Porsche OEM, Darren911 had one

I think DonW has one as well...IMHO looks great on a cab...
Can't wait to see the finished product...
What are else are you doing to dash? Aluminum bits?

yes I agree - I think the carrera wing is the best fit for a narrow body cab michelle - The euro bumper I put on really complimented the clean look to the cab

Starting At the Nose

As you all can see, I'm very excited about this project. I've waited a while for this car, so I had time to design it. Working with cargraphic, I've have seen many cars modified to its owners taste..Now its my turn .
Today was a busy day in the office so I was only able to complete a couple of things. The New GT3 Nose with Alu. Grill Insert, Clear Side markers, Silver hood badge and the New GT3 Side Skirts....
What a difference already...... (I need to order Bumper Plugs from Erik-Plug Guy)

Jasclass: I didn't like the 2nd gen aero wing.. I thought I would love this one, I do just not on a cab.

Peter C4C: Yes, the top opens fine with this wing on. It was designed for the cab.

01 C4 Cab NYC: I went to a dealership today that is a customer and saw it in person. Yes that wing is very nice..But not exactly what I'm looking for.

Tim W. : Can't wait to see your project completed - Post Pics

CA996: The car arrived on Dec. 23rd... I began working on it two days ago. It was delayed because I was in Vegas celebrating New Years for a week. Everything except the stereo will be done by next week JOY!!!

RobynC: Thanks - I can't wait either... I LOVE YOUR BOOTY! I always loved the GT3 Wing! That is the wing I really want

new photos just uploaded tell me what you think

Looks great...
Have you thought about a MASHAW wing (www.masaw.com) ...not porsche OEM, but they look pretty good (as KevinM will attest)...they have turbo spoiler for narrow bodies

there is also another company anziano, they have Gt2 replicas for narrow body cabs...dunno about fit and finish tho...
