All has become clear now....
This isn't a Gemballa kit. It's a knock off of the Gemballa Avalanche kit (which I don't believe they ever made for the Boxster) made by Extreme Motorcars. Here's their sales ad for the exact car that I saw:

I hope the new owner didn't really think it was a 2010 Boxster as they advertised. Their conversion kit is really for a 986. It would have been interesting to talk to the owner to see if he would try to fool me into thinking it was really Gemballa. I wonder why nobody ever knocked off the rear bumper on my car. I thought that was pretty decent.
Here's the eBay ad for the kit to convert your 986 Boxster to this wide body Avalanche look:

What's nice is that it's a very complete kit, including the headlights and tail lights. But for $30,000 it's pretty spendy, especially for knock off parts. Might as well pay that much to Gemballa. But, alas, Gemballa is now defunct. Maybe if these guys don't need to worry about patent issues now they'll knock off more stuff.
If the quality is good, then this might be a fun kit to get. But still, I think they'll have a hard time selling this. $15K to $20K for a decent 986S, $30K for the kit, $5K+ for install and paint.... You could almost buy a new car for that price or a very nice, used 996 Turbo!!! I got my 996 C4S with full TechArt kit and HRE wheels for less. I can't believe that with their yellow and orange test cars they didn't even use S models. But with that cost I guess comes exclusivity. Now I really wish I had looked at that car more and talked to the owner. I doubt I will ever see one again!
