Turbo frontend conversion complete *pics*

Sweet! Side skirts and clear side markers MUST be done!

Veddy nice. I've been contemplating a new bumper and some side skirts.

nice!
don't feel too bad on the expense, if you decide to sell your Boxster it will go quickly. That's good nowadays because there are a glut of good Boxsters for sale and every little mod counts to raise interest.

P.S.
I recently detailed my friend's yellow 911 and we used a cheap spray wax by Duragloss called Aquawax. Best result I have ever seen on yellow. Looks dripping wet. Yet it's only $8!!
you can get on their website or at NAPA.

Once it dried I used FK1 425 spray to ward off the pollen and dust that finishing sprays often attract.

Looks great! I still say a cheaper way to go would have been to keep the stock headlights and only replace the front bumper. But replacing the side fenders and headlights to make the factory turbo bumper work on your boxster came out great. Very nice if you can afford it.

haha, they were telling me "now all you need to do is widen the rear end a little bit". I decided to stop here. side skirts and either the stock rear diffuser or the Gemballa rear bumper and that will be it for the body.

I've already got more than my first car cost in the front end....

Yes, you are correct porsche986spyder, the more cost effective way would be to just buy that fiberglass bumper that fits with the stock lights. Like I said before, had I known it would cost as much as is it did, I probably would've just left it alone but, I'm more than pleased with the final outcome. It looks amazing and I've gotten several compliments from Boxster owners in my area. Alot of them just have this crazy look on their face and then they realize it's a Boxster, from the front it really does look like a Turbo Cab.

I'm going to make good use of the bumper and fenders that came off of it. I'm making a chair for my living room out of them! I've been mapping out the frame lately as this idea has been in the works for years and I've got a 911 bumper and fenders in my attic that will be used on the first one. I'm going to make the frame out of aluminum and have an exposed back, might look kind of cool.

The turbo front end sold by other places is the ONLY one that is Urethane, not Fiberglass. Just in case anyone else out there wanted to persue this route. Your car looks awsome!

Did you ever see this kit? It's a wide body, but only looks like the rear. I hate the front bumper on this thing, too many ins-n-outs on it. All carved up with vents and grooves. But the rear section looks sweet. Just an idea for a wide body if you are looking for one, djomlas.

I've never been a fan of changing bumpers, adding side skirts etc, but I must say yours looks amazing! It doesn't look added on or aftermarket. Great job, congrats on getting it finished.
