Hey all,

I am the owner of the white car and wanted to post some pictures of the finished product. A little background. The car was in pretty rough shape when I picked it up. Clear coat was about non-existent on the hood, front fenders and top of the doors. Rear bumper had a bunch of cracks and had to be replaced. Soft top transmission was broken so I couldn't raise or lower the top. The engine was running but had some leaks that needed some attention (RMS and IMS). Wheels and tires were shot. You can see where this is going ... But I was okay with that because it was purchased solely for this conversion.

I can say that Kent and his team at Precision Chassis Works worked a miracle with the car. There were a *lot* of things done and the attention to detail is second to none. It looks and drives fantastic. Everything works as if the car came from the factory except for automatic climate control. I'm okay with turning the fans up/down when I need

I even have A/C for those hot summer months here in Phoenix. The best part ... the power! Tony at UMS delivered 3 tunes via Cobb Accessport V3 (low - 300whp, medium - 340whp and max - 360whp). The car is running the medium tune at the moment which is more than enough for the street. The best part of the experience was seeing my 5 year old's face when I opened up the throttle for the 1st time. He loves going for rides in Daddy's rocket.

Chris and his team from Elite Automotive Finishes completed the transformation with paint and body work. I'm definitely digging the "Ruf 3400S" look of the car with the OEM MK1 GT3 bumper and OEM Aerokit 1 side skirts. The US-spec bumperettes were also tossed for a cleaner look.

Overall, I am very pleased with the conversion! With rumors of the next generation Boxster/Cayman getting Turbo-4s, I feel like I'm getting an early "preview"! I know this may not be for everyone but it works for me

Cheers!
