that LA place sells the whole conversion for 5 grand, rite? so should cost somethign about that?

LA Dismantaler is overpriced. The kit they sell consists of used parts that need to be stripped/primed/painted. And I'm curious as to how the condition of the used bumpers (which is actually a Turbo bumper) and liners would look. Also, how much would you trust a pair of Litronics from a salvaged vehicle? And according to their eBay auctions, there are a lot of parts they don't list that are needed. On top of all that, add the labor and painting that needs to be done... that 5k on used parts isn't looking like a hot deal.

They obviously paid a good deal of attention to the alignment of the panels. Looks great...

Jeph,

That front end looks absolutely awesome ! Way to take something negative ( accident ) and turn it into something positive !

Congrats !

Think I should change the name of my car from "The Foxy Boxy" to " The Silver Lining?"

Here's a brief video of the drive home from the shop...
(Excuse the music -bonus points if you can name it)

I have headlight envy...

Looks awesome!

I know you're not crazy about it, but I like the look of your car with the convertible top exposed.

Awesome finished product Jeph. Glad I'm nowhere near Dallas so you don't make me look bad...

Where would i buy the new style fenders to do this conversion? How much were they?

I have a Turbo bumper that is already the same color as my car and I bought 02-05 headlights. I assumed the front end was the same as the Carrera but, after reading this thread, I guess not. How much more am I looking to drop to do this conversion?

Btw, Jeph car looks spectacular! :cheers:

A lot of your questions can be answered here, yellowbox.

The fenders cost the same as Boxster's. The body shop ordered them for me.

If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a PM. I didn't do the work myself, but I'll still try to help out with what I know.
