I got the Turbo bumper for free, it came off my dad's Turbo when he put a full Techart kit on his.

This conversion was very pricey and a hell of alot more work than just swapping the bumper and headlights out. The fenders are different also, came off an 02-05 Carrera. Alot of modifying and alot of misc. parts.

parts, painting, and labor came out to $4800. Like I said pricey conversion.

I would but, it's not an S. You can faintly see Boxster in the paint from where the emblem was removed. almost like a ghost emblem.

I will be deambering and exhaust, headers, and intake are on my list. Although, I kind of like the single outlet exhaust.
