I put serious thought into a similar mod 3.5 years ago.

IMHO, your contrasting colors rock
& hearken back to Porsches of yore
...whether 356s or Carrera GTs

Very nice! I plan on doing the same thing with the front end on my C2S. Do you mind giving a cost breakdown of all the front end items along with labour for painting etc? I need to start budgeting.

Jager you get it man !
thx for the pics

I love the front end. Looks awesome!

You can save money by buying used parts from e-bay, dismantlers etc.
I chose not to as my car is very low mileage
DO NOT use your US bumper and fill the bumperettes as this will inevitably lead to issues later
A Porsche certified body shop is the way to go as they have experience with the cars and will not learn / experiment on yours
PARTS for Porsita: (approx. prices)
Euro front bumper $1000 shipped
Tequipment splitters $440 (purchased 3 years ago)
Turbo S fog lights / intake $330
Euro clear indicator lights $200
Mesh grille $38
Fender and hood seals $190
Rear "S" split grille complete spoiler $450 shipped
LABOR for Porsita:
Best Porsche certified body shop in town $1900

My guess is that since you're only doing the front end, a top certified body shop that caters to Porsche, Aston Martin etc. will charge you somewhere between $1000-$1200 depending on the state of your original paint - avoid "blending"
Since the S has the Turbo front bumper you will not be doing the splitters and therefore have less labor; also I do not believe your car has a mesh screen in the lower front end

Do you have a source for the 993 aluminum door sills? I've been looking everywhere and can't find them either with 993, Porsche, or Carrera. Thanks.

porsita

Fvd Brombacher is were I got mine..... mind you it was two and half years ago
They are brushed aluminum identical to oem and made by the same company in Germany with a subtle, almost imperceptible 993 script in the correct style
I will post pics next week together with the RUF parts

Hey papi porsita, your 993 is looking superb! Love the mods.

That's one great looking and tastefully done cab!

Looking forward to seeing the RUF front strut brace. Where did you find that? I have a Perfect Power brace which is great.

Love the contrasting colors; very tastefully done!

Thanks, unfortunately they don't have the logo version anymore. I should have bought these when I saw them on eBay last year. Now they don't seem to be available anywhere.
