Techart Style GT2 Boxster just back from the Body Shop
I just got back from the body shop not too long ago, picked up my 98 Boxster. I've been putting in money here in there over the past year, Litronic, Clear Rear Lights, etc. I finally took the dive and spent $2,200 to put on a techart style GT2 front bumper and Techart style side skirts. I must say... I'm pretty happy with the new look:

I had the work done at McCurdy Body Works in Pasadena. I think they did an amazing job on the color matching - 10 year old Arctic Silver isn't an easy color to match.
It's not quite my Dad's real deal 996 Techart GT Street:
...but for spending 1/10 the price on the parts and labor, it's no longer a chick's car =)

Some stuff for sale: M030 S 24mm front sway bar, M030 base 19.6mm rear sway bar, 996 GT3 OEM Porsche Motorsport front strut mounts monoball "camber plates"
WTB: looking for some 5-7mm spacers with extended bolts
My mistake... lets drop another 2 in front of that number. $1600 for parts and $600 for paint and install. You can't tell in the pictures, but I had the rear bumperettes painted while they were at it.
What blows my mind is that I spent almost $2,000 on Litronics, Rear Lights, Side markers, and a Chrome Emblem.
Looks like we got similar rims too... mine are 17" OEM 3 piece.

Ohhh okay... gotcha. Yeah I hear ya bout the litronics, rear lights, sidemarkers, etc... I just did those upgrades a few months ago, so I know what u mean. Yeah our rims are pretty similar style... mine are the 18" oem.
I'm getting kitted next, and possibly movin on to some 19s...
Well, Aaron your car is looking awesome man... making some great progress. What's next for it?

I think whats next is to make a little money... fixing up Porsches... even with replica parts is pretty damn expensive.
Maybe if I find a good deal on a used set of 18" or 19"s... I'll pick those up, but until then, no big plans. Exhaust maybe? I'm a little hesitant to buy a cheap muffler from ebay for like $600 when anything of real quality costs $1000+
Hey it looks really good I love the new bumper...what is it made out of? And it looks like it matches up really well...how is it up close on fitment and where did you get it from?
