One kick ass Porsche!

I don't know if you guys play the playstation but Grand Turismo 4 has an 86' BTR RUF Porsche in it. It also has the YellowBird. Anyhow, I love everything about this Porsche even though its not real! I love the stance, the height, everything alse about it.

here's my car :



What would it take to get it to look like this Porsche:


Sorry for the poor quality, I took the pictures with my camera facing the TV.

Does RUF or an aftermarket make these exact body kits? Iv'e seen many variances but not this exact one.

You need to get away from the tube. Your car looks a ton better than that RUF / Videogame car. Also, why would you want a sheep in wolf's clothing? That said, if those are original Ruf body panels in the pictures, they will likely be available. I hope others can chime in.

Cheers, George

You are good to go, cosmetics wise. There is plenty of go fast mods that will make more sense - in my book.

All you need are the bumpers, mirrors, tint, side markers, exhaust and have the rear reflector painted. You're pretty close with the wheels...if I were you, I'd leave it the way you have it now, looks clean with just the wheels. Beautiful car by the way, nothing like a 930 in a unique color (so many black, red and white ones out there).

Also remember that any aftermarket fiberglass, especially in the front, will chip to hell from rocks in a short amount of time on the road. It will make it look so bad, that you'll have to take pictures off your TV screen for it not to show.

thanks. By the way, not a 930. It's a Turbo Look.

I wouldn't mind getting the windows tinted but here in California it's illegal to have the front windows tinted. SUCKS.

Don't touch your car! I keep changing/adding to mine out of boredom. Problem with that is it looked better the day I bought it than it does now.

looks like pretty much bumpers and mirrors and your set. By the way it is a great game, I must've run the Nurburgring 1000 times by now.. (usually with an M5)

yes Paul - check out better bodies, getty design and MA shaw = pretty sure those parts are available.

as far as the Turbo Look car - you have the perfect car to modify for some serious HP. #1 you have the g-50, #2 you have EFI, #3 you have the turbo suspension AND brakes.

Hook up with Frank and AMS or Henry at Supertech and have them buildy you a monster turbo and you are set!

Make it your own - if that's what you want.
