is there any write up on the project, complete with specs and estimated cost? Would be cool to see a pic of it next to a turbo or c4s..

Well, don't quite see the point making a 'neon & rice' 911, but have to agree the workmanship is pretty special. Not my thing, but that's the great thing about freedom of choice! Ok, I concede, I really like the colour!!

amir,

the c4s/tt has different rear lights than the narrow body.. bit bigger in length and width.. i figured he pretty much did everything else to the rear, why not add the newer lights if you're gonna redoo everything and make it look like a twin turbo/c4s.. from the back one can clearly tell it's a narrow body.. and for that much money spent, i'd personally want mine to look like the latter variation :>

Vince the car is getting better and better looking every time I see it.
Love the combination of blue and black suede interior.
Now I think it is time for you to enjoy that car little bit.

Thanks for all the compliments. Yes the A-pillar and the center console are custom made pieces. No one make an a-pillar guage pod for the 996, so I had to fabricate one. Regarding the comment on the taillights, I built this car to be a 996 C2, not a turbo look a like. I wanted to keep the small taillights in the rear. The car is actually 6" wider than a Turbo or C4s.
