Bumpers Ma Shaw also.
The pictures aren't the greatest, but I couldn't wait.

Looks very, very nice. Your hard work definitely paid off. One of the nicest Targa's on the board.

I really like the Ruf wheels also. It was a toss up between the FM-10's and the Ruf wheels. It ultimately came down to the weight difference.

Nice Job Ken, looks beautiful. Looks like you got a nice tight fit on the bumpers, especially the problematic hood /bumper line. Nice stance. I like the Fikse, gives it a more purposeful look IMO. I love the rufs too, but people in the know appreciate the quality and specs of FM10s. Congrats, looking forward to more pics

Thank you for the kind words.
It took many , many hours getting the fiberglass parts to fit the way I wanted. There is a lot of sculpting envolved with what you see here. The bumper hood spacing is 100% exact, PITA. I am very happy with the final product.... And will add some more photos later.

If Bernie post some picks of his car, it looks EVIL. Probably one of the best all around Porsches. Great on the track, killer on the street and looks the part of both.

Looks great. I went with FM5's....easier to clean and really shows off the big calipers.

Do you have lighting for your rear plate? I have read about some little lights that are part of the mounting screws, but can't tell if you have those. If not, what kind of lights will you get and from where?

I actually have the lights that are in the mounting bolts. Very stealth.

I saw Ken's car Saturday, Ken truly did a very clean meticulous job, and it's probably one of the cleanest 911's I've seen in quite a while. Seeing his has got me getting set to do the same Ruf face lift to my 88 Coupe.
