Looks great! Did they do a good job color matching? Glad to see the bumprettes worked out. You must be chomping at the bits to get the 3.6 in the car!

it's amazing what three pieces of plastic do to this car.

This car should never have left the factory without the GT3 front bumper and side skirts.
The concept car was not bare bones, Porsche only made the "base" 986 that way to cash in on Tequipment options for the interior and exterior of the car.


The rear Boxster Spyder bumper came out well. I'm debating whether I have my bumperettes refinished in a matte gray and do the inserts on the Boxster Spyder bumper the same way.

Thanks guys I'm glad you approve Yes the shop did very well with the color match. To say that I am chomping at the bit for the 3.6 has to be the understatement of the decade !!! It's been over a year since Jake and I " shook hands " on the deal. This is no ordinary 3.6 build this is uber custom it basically is a from the ground up custom build. Jake to my knowledge has only built four of these to date so I'm only the 5th person on the planet that will have this engine. I really can't discuss the technical aspect as Jake will shoot me with one of his sniper rifles ! But all the bits and pieces are patented to/by Jake so no one else can buy them so I am in very exclusive company. And no I will not discuss the price in public or even in private that is between Jake and myself. I will say it makes ZERO economic sense to buy this engine, to be honest you have to be nuts to go down this road. But nuts in a good way. As an enthusiest I have put WAY too much money in all of my previous Porsche automobiles. I didn't put money in them because I had to but because I wanted to. To me it's part of customizing the cars to my individual taste. My plan for this car is it will be the last Porsche I own. I'm 57 and plan on retiring in a few years so it's balls to the wall to get her how I want her. Wife doesn't have an issue with it so life is good. And don't think I am a rich guy I carry my lunch pail to work every day at a good job and have earned every penny I spend. Sorry for the long answer I'll keep posting updates as I add to my baby.
