1998 Boxster upgraded now looking to do engine conversion

I just completed some upgrades to my 1998 boxster. I added a GT-2 front bumper and EVO spoiler, GT-2 aero side skirts, and a Aero-2 rear spoiler. Changed the stock 17" rims to 18" center cup wheels with p-zero tires. If you have any questions contact me at brians@abpsmedstaff.com I am planning an engine conversion next and looking for ideas either a 3.4 or 3.6 conversion any help from those who have done it would be appriciated.

Very nice! Car looks great. Very shiny. What wax do you use?

The front bumper looks great. I really like the black lip on the bottom.

I am not too sure about the Porsche crests on the front fenders though.

Who is going to do your engine swap??

Looks really nice, The crests look alittle sideways...You should have placed a hood crest there instead of the steering wheel crest, would have looked alittle more well proportioned on the fender...sorta like a ferrari crest on the fenders...but you'd have to move them alittle higher than where they are now.

Brian, 97-2002 boxsters are best off going with a 3.4L swap. If you go with a 3.6L you will be shelling out alot more money because your ecu and harness among other things isn't compatable with that engine. The front end and shine on your car looks killer!
