Custom 1999 Porsche Boxster

Can someone please explain how to custom this car in this video?
The front bumper uses GT2 bumper and the side has the side of GT2 also(i think).

Please explain what i need to get this kind of custom done.
Thanks

The GT2 style front bumper is nothing special - it's available from many places that sell copy/replica version made of fiberglass. Most if not all of the custom work is done at the rear fenders and rear bumper.

So how did they do the rear fenders?
And for the rear fender you meant side body kit right? because the back still retains the same back for the 1999 Boxster but the side has that of the GT2

What you think?

Also for the front bumper which you said is nothing special, will it just fit perfectly if i have he GT2 front bumper? or they need to do some custom work too? Is it easy to do this custom or does it require some special experienced autoshop?

Just search on ebay for "Boxster GT2 bumper", these are not factory bumper which means they'll need some fitting.

Like I said it's not a body kit but custom body work for the rear. Fiberglass is easy to work with, but there's a small chance it could be sheet metal but highly unlikely as it's very cost prohibitive.
