I saw this conversion up close the other night in a parking lot of local night spot.
Looked pretty nice, I'm guessing the owner works or knows someone that works in the autobody business. Lots of them in this town I was in.
I would say that its not really a total transformation and the average non-Porsche person would hardly notice the difference between a facelifted Boxster and one with a GT3 Front bumper and skirting. If anything it looked weird to me because it looks "front end heavy". Like if you put a 911 in compactor and pushed in and flattened the rear.
So yeah not worth $5,000K in my opinion unless you were repairing a front end damaged Boxster.
