Trying to see if anyone has these that they would be willing to sell. Was looking for them in aluminum. Also interested in any other Ruf parts that are for the 993. Thanks for any replies.

P.S. Ruf no longer sells door sills for the 993.

Thanks again.

Mel,

I might have gotton the last set of Ruf stainless steel sill for the 993 for my Ruf BTR. You mentioned aluminum sills. I am not familiar with that. May be they still have SS sills?

Good luck.

I thought they were aluminum. They could be SS. I'm sure when I called Ruf about getting door sills for the car they told me all were currently out of production. I plan to looking into the BTR kit for the car at some point in time. The price though was WELL beyond what I thought. Would like to at least get a few more cosmetic stuff before it they become impossible to get.

Mel,

They do not do the BTR conversion anymore as the demand is really really low. Your better bet is to source a 997tt engine and do either the CTR or Turbo-R conversion. It is actually cheaper than the BTR conversion. (my PO spent $65k in year 2000 for his conversion).

Your other choices are to buy a 993tt, or just buy a Ruf.

I have eveything Ruf on my car except the green gages. That may be next if I ever do a road trip to Dallas in my Ruf. Then my life is complete.

I asked them a month ago and they told me 52k for the conversion. That was from the salesman who I bought my car from (at Ruf). I think you are right though, tt engine swap would probably be the best thing.

What other 993 Ruf items are still available from them? Is that front bumper still offered?

As far as I can tell, the door sills are still available from RUF in Germany.

they are made so bad that they stop making them.

The door sills or the bumper? I know Ruf in Dallas had a time installing the bumper on my car.

ruf in dallas sends the gages to germany to convert to the ruf green. Do not do it, you are to young to have a complete life.

Thanks. I love the look to. Salesman told me someone offered 5k to take the bumper off the car and sell it to them. You know as much as I want more power, the car is still a blast to drive! My C55 AMG was faster but believe me it's not as fun. Porsche "big reds" next.
