you know, i have all the parts - side skirts, front bumper cover with ducts, wheels with centre caps, spacers, lug nuts and bolts, leather steering wheel with alcantara adaptor, floor mats, front and rear crests, gauge dial overlays, pedals. even have a 3.6 x51 (as close as you'll get to the gt3 engine, and about as much hp with some massaging).

just can't find a good roller to put is all on. anywhere.

Good luck with your search! So far I have the side skirts, rear decklid and spoiler, and exhaust tips. I don’t want to do the crests, although if I could get my hands on their new green front hood crest.... I will be ordering the front end by Christmas then off to paint. Given the current sale, I may get something else now.

I have HRE 547s, so I won’t be changing wheels.

well, there is also the pfaffenhausen crest - a bit more stealth.

That’s awesome. Ruf sent me a small shirt pin of the new version which is green / white. That’s the one I really want.

I want a set of 18' RUF wheels so bad on my 996! This just made it worse.

All of my research has led me to believe Ruf only made about 17 of these total and only 5 or so made it to the US. There is a blue one, yellow one, metallic orange one, a silver vert and this one I have seen evidence of in the US.

Mine will likely remain m96 powered but that M96 may get some added displacement and other love at some point.

Ruf does the green gages, but you can get the interior trim pieces in many colors.

I have a list of all the ruf items I want. I buy myself a gift every quarter. With a little luck I should be well into the transformation next spring.
Can't wait to see it when you get it together.

I'd love to add the Ruf body kit and wheels to my 996.

Rare car indeed. It has to be one of the more valuable 996's out there. Thanks for sharing.

Is it really so expensive to keep it?
Must say that our family's doing a small business (online stores like MyFitteds)
So, is it acceptable for us??
Thanks!
You're asking about a Toyota on the Porsche forum??

I think that post is spam. They want you to click on the link for a "small business opportunity".
