Pedals and wheels.....

You inspired me to get the same pedals but in my 997......on your car is where I saw these and went out and got them. The wheels, well you may like these as well..... amazing car you have there. Thank god the 997 went in the 993 direction with the head lamps now if they could just design a wing that resembled the rear wings seen on the 993TT seen in this thread that would be amazing.....

- Rennline aluminum floorboard
- guage rings
- alcantara seat inserts
- full carbon fibre trim - guages, doors, dash, center console, something like 12 pieces in all.

She's getting there...

I’ll update this thread with more pics as they come in and will be sure to do a proper photo shoot once the car is delivered.

Haven’t driven her yet, but wanted to give a shout out to Hans, Wayne, Bob, Mark, Jonathan and all of the folks at RUF Dallas for working on this project over the past few months. Can’t say enough about their level of professionalism, sound advice and overall attention to detail. The true RUF experience in every possible way imaginable…

Thanks guys!!!!

Kevin




Without doubt the title holder for baddest 993TT on the planet! Gorgisimo!

Hmmm,

I had a bad experience with these guys too. I bought some turbo S ducts and foglights from them a while back. Both sets burnt out and the quality was terrible. After a lot of back and forth I just had to toss 'em and get a set from Gert at Carnewal. I'll never buy anything from them again.

Kinda funny that they are now using my car to promote their products...

Thanks for the heads up
