Ladies and Gents.


Here is some of the work that is involved in doing a carbon roof conversion:


The work being performed is done by trained professionals, please do not attempt this at home. This is not a DIY



Done right following the proper procedures along with the correct bonding agents the results are OEM quality.























Note OEM GT3RS headliner can be used on the vehicle.

Nice job. I like the unpainted CF with the white body and CF wing.

SOrry for spying but couldn't resist




Looking at the doors it looks like it was already a 997. But judging from the pictures it looks like minitubs, wide body quarters and sills, rollcage and not sure about up front

Beautiful work thou and a gorgeous shop. I need a frame machine like that in my "shady tree" garage

Yes this car started life as a 1800 miles 997 GT3

Porsche didnt sell the car he wanted- So he came to us and we built him what he wanted.


The car can now take a 13" wide wheel and 355 rear tire all day long!!!
