rs 60 anniversary 986 project

I got into a small accident where i hydroplaned, spun out and crashed head on into a sidewalk... which didnt do much damage except to the under part of my front bumper... and always seeing the glass half full ... I'm takin it as an opportunity to do what I've been wanting to do to the car but never really felt the compelling need til the "accident"

having been enamored by the rs 60 987 anniv edition

i've decided to try to replicate the bumpers for my boxster s...

should be done in 2 weeks...but here are some teaser pictures....

diffusers will be tamed down of course...and was able to find some daytime running lights big enough to fit the bumper hole cutouts and look similar to the stock 987 fogs...

wish me luck!

I know a few Filipinos... many are very very passionate about cars. They're highly skilled whether they're mechanic or doing bodywork. Love to see how this turn out.

I like it. I'm no aerodynamicist, but it sure looks functional to me.

Looks awesome!!! Please leave the rear difuser as is, looks perfect.

Sam

**EDIT**
If you were ever considering selling this rear difuser 'add-on' as a kit, please let me know, I would love one!

Could you post more photos of the RS60 so that we can compare with your finished project pics when it gets done?

Regards, Maurice.
