    That looks killer. I even love the stock wheels, they are just so iconicly Porsche.

    Stunner!

    As much as I love the Fuchs, the big-money Ruf 16s would look dyno-mite!

    I picked up the car last night. VSR did a stunning job. I went out to take pictures today and realized that I left my camera on, and the batteries were dead. I will post pictures soon.

    What a killer canvas to start with!!

    I was initially hoping you'd shoot for a IROC-esque look, but I guess you can't beat the CTR-look.

    ROW tail-lamp lenses would be a cool, subtle detail.

    Another vote for M&K...Great stuff. I believe they're one of the only to offer a 321 S.S. exhaust for these cars.
    Thank you!

    I looked into so many different looks for this car before deciding on the CTR-look. The IROC oil cooler form and bumper is a little bit too pronounced for me. I think it would be tough to pull off on a narrow body car. I like how the CTR bumper and valence are nearly flush.

    Your attention to detail is awesome. The RUF bumpers truly complement the curves in the car. Installing the kit, they did amazing work to fix the imperfections. I hope to see a couple exhaust tips and hope you go through with those wheels... would look, epic.
    Thank you very much.

    I will post pictures that clearly show the results of all of VSR's hard work reshaping the pieces. I didn't seem right to me to go through the cost and effort of the conversion without getting it right.

    Thank you. I am sticking with the stock wheels for now. Next year I will look for 930 spec 16x7 and 16x9 fuchs. I will get them color matched. The current wheels are 16x6 and 16x7.

    License plate lights have been painted. Thanks for the photos, Chris.

    Lights are BMW 2002 lights.

    Thank you very much.

    Yes for the time being. Re-indexing and going for 1/4" below euro ride height. That is about the lowest I can go without raised spindles and shorter rear shocks. Should keep the geometry all right.
