I guess it's not possible to get the Rt12 air intakes on a convertible, or am I wrong?
Thx Eric

I don't know about the Rt12 intakes on the cab ... never asked them since I prefer the stock intakes

Thx Pat. I'm still waiting on the suspension, hopefully it will be installed this month.
Next part of the conversion will be done next week, will post new pictures next weekend

Rami, very nice! I'm sure it's a blast to drive. All the best w/ it.

The car now has the full GT2 front & sideskirts installed.
Here are a few pictures ... weather has been real bad here, if it changes I will take more shots:



One last time together:


Next on the list is the suspension ... with the GT2 front installed it really needs to drop!

The GT2 front really enhanced the looks of your turbo cab! Do the GT2 side skirts fit over the factory skirts or do they fit under?

Thx guys!

The GT2 side skirts fit over the factory skirts Khalid, that was the easy part. The front wasn't that difficult either but it involved quite a bit of work.

The Sportec wheels were already bought before the car went to RUF. I had them on my 997 turbo coupé.
Turbo's are completely different, the engine is an Rt12 with +650HP.
