986 Boxster-to-550 Spyder Conversion

[Skrapmot]

Agreed, most people I've met that have a 550 don't drive except for special occasions. These replicars are great because you can drive them almost daily if you like, pretending your James Dean, without crazy depreciation or expensive repairs.
Also, Porsches are very common here in the Bay Area, I'll see half a dozen or more just on my ride to work, so it's nice to have something that turns heads.
I thought about building a FF Cobra for that very reason.

I drive mine everyday…but then I only painted my tail lights to make it look like a 550.

Of course my solution costs a lot less and I can drive the dog out of it too!
