Right. So this has to be The Best Body Kit ever for the boxster. I mean, kudos to the one(s) who've designed this kit. Thanks for sharing OP

Just wow, 5 axis, lots of foam, mold, resins... lots can go wrong. Clean lines... those are CAD splines man. Love completed projects like this, ppl, softwares and machines are sometime mind blowing. Totally inspired, wish I'd be at least half-way their level :/

Wish they had a CGT kit... i bet it would get me thinking. For a minute anyway loll

Confused So they take your car away and turn it into a 911, for 43k? Was convinced this was a kit made avail for the folks who likes to work out of their garage, with some batman tunes playing and while tricking a car... 1~2 year project type hobby thing...

Wow good god panels service! I haven't seen half of this industry obviously lolll

Maybe it would be cool car if he got rid of those fugly wheels, wing and rear bumper?

I think the 986/987 boxster might become a classic not so much because of the looks but because of it's simplicity and rawness. It really is an easy car to work on and one of the last Porsche's to be largely controlled by the driver. Sure some came with PSM or worthless Traction Control but the car mostly relied on what imputes you gave it.
