Default Ruf bumpers and sports seats on

Yet another of those threads ... but finally some pics of the car now that it has received some cosmetic upgrades (bumpers, a-pillar kit as well as sport seats from Ruf ordered via RUF USA + techart fog lights and brake caliper repaint). Everything came out good except I missed the entire summer driving season!

Background: I bought the car in summer 2011 from Porsche of Spokane (OEM non-sport seats at the time). It is one of the conversions performed by Weissach when they were Ruf distributor for North America.

Will take a break on the mods for now ...

Cheers,

Very nice... Those Konig Ruf seats have some serious lateral bolstering! If you ever decide to go with Ruf gauges, let me know as I'm after some 993 aluminum ones.

Default Exhaust extension question

My tech is still trying to figure out how to install the exhaust extensions - he says both ends would need to have the wider diameter - otherwise welding seems to be the only option - any input appreciated - don't mind welding if that is how others are set up ...

Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys!

Nurburger, I will let you know - unlikely at this point as I really like the aluminum gauges (and got a matching desk clock with aluminum gauge from Andreas!).

Thanks much 993 Ruf - took me over 1 year to do all the bits and pieces I wanted ... And there are some more I can think of for the foreseeable future ...

Thx much - I was looking for real fog lights - working cooling ducts to the front brakes is a nice plus ...

Wow!!!! Stunning. I'm not sure where in NY you are but, if your ever on L.I on a Sunday morning you should stop by captree state park, there is a pretty decent gathering of exotics and others between 8am-10:30.

^ yes - Ruf sports seats without harness cutout - bought them via Ruf USA - they are manufactured by Koenig for Ruf.
