Quality of work looks great!!!! The shop is very clean. Nice job. I am not a fan of Techart stuff. RUF is the way to go for mods. If just a tune, Softronic. IMO Looks like a ricer kit car.

He's got the TechArt Power Kit and Exhaust installed. He owns many other cars that are faster than this one. From what I hear he rents out an air strip and drives all his cars one by one.

Looks like Bynum fixes up all his cars.
I had no idea a 7 footer could fit in a 911.

Like the car.

Thumbs down

^^^ Fair assessment TT. This may well be a showcase for professional and high quality workmanship but that's the end of it. I really just don't get it at all with sportstars doing this to expensive marques And here it was I though Beckham had an attention seeking issue. Wow! This example really is a bridge gone way way too far. It seems coming into a whole lot of money from nothing does very strange things to some. And tech art....well their design team have certainly done themselves no favors with this bizarre look IMO as it has totally destroyed Porsches fundamental design concept by effectively removing all the curves from the coke bottle. I can just imagine what this guy would do with the interior: I guess in times to come we will see this catastrophe appear on eBay.

He doesn't. That's what the handle bar is for on the engine lid. He pushes it from behind.....like a lawnmower.

Very impressive work and craftsmanship, however IMO a aesthetically perfect car was just ruined. This car is up there with Mr. Beckams' and probably will sell for 250k in two years.'

Thank you guys for all of the feedback! I see how the car can be "over the top" and I am glad that you guys have addressed the fact that the work and craftsmanship can be seen in this build. It may be too much for some people but at least he invested in high quality parts for this build. Put all style aside this car does have quality parts and workmanship on it!
