Wow. I'll bet that cost him a few bucks...

I'm not sure why he thinks that is a 997S interior... maybe the seats are, but that's about it...

Stage 3 engine kit = 3hp gain

997 door panels and seats is all I see from the 997.

Wheels are hideous.

That bucket of puke is worth no more than 20-25K.

Cool

Clear Title. Non-Smoker. No warranty express or implied.

I'm sure he meant to write, "No warranty expressed or implied." But, I think the double entendre of the "No Warranty Express" seems somehow appropriate.

I agree, those are ugly wheels. Looks like they belong on a Camaro or Mustang. The rest looks good. I really like that rear bumper. But for $45 for a 2000? No way.

That's a lot of work done for that car. I like the rear bumper too but could you imagine taking that to a Cars and Coffee somewhere and just listen to the whispers....

"OMG......but the interior and profile....996......salvage...whisper .....tip?......wheels...satan....whisper...whisper..."

From the sound of this thread if it's not a GT3 it should be trashed? I think it looks nice and well done minus the tail lights and rims and think someone wanting to modify there non gt3 car would have about an extra 20 grand just in body panel work/paint etc to get to this result.

45K?, no, but I have to say that the body work looks very nice. The seams on both the front and rear look factory. I'll bet he has at least 25K in paint and panels........

I'd say the base car was worth about 20K and he's just trying to capture the 25K he poured into the conversion.

Wow! tough crowd here. I agree it is really overpriced, you never get the cost of these type of mods out of a car, or any mods really. But it sure looks like they did a nice job on the mods, the crusher remarks seem a little harsh. I have seen alot of body mods around here that look alot worse than this.

+1

its not my taste but it looks like it was modded with care and a good budget, if you put some nicer looking rims on it might look a lot better

i would take it over this any day http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...fCarsQ5fTrucks
