Nice job!

The car looks fantastic. Tasteful and bad to the bone, a combination rarely achieved successfully. Unbelievable.

Questions=>

What BBS rims are those and what size are they (rim and tire).

Also are those Recaro A8s? Were they easy to install?

This car is fantastic. I'd put an "Alvin" badge on it. Why give Ruf the credit.

Car looks amazing! Curious to what mechanical restorations were done? Would like to see what the Ruf wheels look like on there.

Incredible job. The car is stunning.

It is a significant addition to the evolving history of the 993.

Beautiful job, Alvin! The car is spectacular.

I would vote for leaving the badge off and second the notion of swapping the BBS's and RUF wheels out every once in a while for variety.

Very nice work!

Perfect. I'd put no badge on it and alternate the wheels. These BBSs look great, though. Great work.
