I'm also a pretty young guy, who works for the city of new york, and they treated me like any other customer, with respect, and kindness, as if i was a Bugatti owner . Meanwhile they had a cl600 v12, in the showroom (i call it a showroom becuase the place is so neat and clean) a gallardo, and they just shipped out a bugatti, over seas, that someone shipped to them to have some work done on. Matt, Todd, & Stan are great people, they have been in the business for awhile and know what they are doing. Trust me on this one, i am **** when it comes to my car.....
P.s add about 4-5 grand for labor cost.paint prep, time and energy etc....
so if you do the math $42,000 grand for a carrera S model o6, and then about 13,000 grand depends on your relationsip with your shop, and that brings you up to $55,000 for a car that brand new goes for 85,000 to 95,000 grand new. A lot of people are interested in doing it, but are scared, Just bring it to A.I design, point black period..... case closed....

It will only be a cosmetic upgrade ;-)

C4S Front Bumper Conversion

rvhpno80: My C4S Cab 997 front bumper recently got hit and need to replace it. I am thinking about ordering 997.2 via bodyshop and in the process getting the daytime running LED's. Do you have the wiring instructions and the parts I need to get this done? I am guessing that 997.2 bumper is exact fit to 997 as well... Thank you in advance.

i think this would be a great conversion if your not worried about resale value later. but if your gonna put 997.2 parts on a 997.1, why not at least on put on the 997.2 GT3 bumper

997's have done this with the 997.1 gt3 bumper. i think the 997.2 gt3 bumper would be a better alternative.

extremely low sitting gt3 bumper is not for everyone. not for me for sure. my stock bumper on non-lowered car is all heavily scratched already.

Right now, I'm in communication with Efren from that link on eBay, lets see how this all turns out. I dont think he knows about the conversion that much, do you think I can acquire control modules seperately if he doesnt pack them?

Without knowing for sure, I would guess they would be available as I assume they would have separate part numbers and could be ordered from Suncoast or Sunset etc.

I haven't done this myself but am interested in how it turns out as I would be interested in doing the front bumper (only) upgrade myself.
