Wide Body Rear Boxster

Found this kit on e-bay. Allot of fiberglass and bondo needed to fill all the seems together and make it look like one piece in the rear.

I like it, but I probably wouldn't put it on my car. I'd be afraid of molding in the rear bumper, making it non-removable. I'm on my third front bumper because it keeps getting bumped. Replacing the molded in rear, if it got hit, would be a major project.

Yes, your right. Being a one-of-a-kind Boxster can cost you dearly. That's the same reason I just painted my rear bumperrets and added the diffusers instead of replacing the entire rear bumper for one of those european styled ones with no bumperrets. I figure, if I get hit in the rear, the bumperrets may save the main bumper from any more major damage. Like the frame work underneath too.

Not sure if I like it. More so because the front gaurds aren't widened too, looks unbalanced?

Just like an old 911.
