Wild Orange Porsche 997 Conversion

[sxsw12]

why not change the steering wheel

[seriphone]

This is a great job and I mean no offence, but you say you spent days in "design" yet the vast majority of the things you did were fitting actual Porsche products. As I said, I think it looks great (except the interior is a bit off) .... but correct me if I am wrong - you spent $50K plus the purchase price of the original? Doesn't that take it to the true trade price of a GT anyway?

[DerbiSenda12345]

Awesome conversion, not sure about the interior, i find it way too bussy with all the orange colors. And your taillight isn't wired correctly.

i not a rich guy, but i think it funny what poor people do to look rich!

[PaulMotorCompany]

Funny you should mention the exhaust, We will have this car back in our inventory next week. We have installed a sport exhaust and removable Porsche racing steering wheel.

Not sure about the color and interior, looks a bit tacky. Also you should have gone with a bit longer LED-ramps, they look a bit short and snub on the front. Also a sport exhaust and lower the suspension. Other then that it looks really nice and not that expensive to do.

sick job man..

[thewizardofaz]

Drive the dang car. That's what it's made for!!

[The0rangePanda]

Why everyone hating so much, it doesn't look bad

[gtoliveslong1969]

Cheap looking made

[oL1313]

sooo ugly !!! 

[viclam]

u spend so much money...but its still 996... why bother? still fake

[MisterPeetBull]

Why the fuck did you paint shit on the inside orange? German RICE

[PaulMotorCompany]

@MisterPeetBull Look at the options list on Porsche.com - Body color matching the interior is an exclusive factory option!

[fl0wmastr]

Good work! However the interior looks a little too riced out like a cheesy civic for my tastes. Also, the video sequence annoys me because you talk about doing the front bumper and are just showing the interior. How much would it cost to convert the 996 to 997 front bumper and what oem parts would you need? How much would it cost to convert the back including lights? is the back more complicated?

[PaulMotorCompany]

@fl0wmastr we used precisionporsche - I think a front conversion is $4200

[PaulMotorCompany]

Whoops! it says "Ride the dream" at the end of the video! I put that in as a joke but forgot to remove it. Trust me - I'm not that cheesy!

[airtonsify]

very nice car!!!!

[punking12341]

hmmm somehow it doesnt look 100% like a 997.... why is this? :(

[PaulMotorCompany]

Correction: The $ 50,000 we spent includes the price of the 911. So Total cost was 50,000 in canadian dollars.

[xXTrueSShotX]

@PaulMotorCompany Can i buy that porsche!

[PaulMotorCompany]

@xXTrueSShotX Next week we will put the porsche for sale!

[The0rangePanda]

@PaulMotorCompany Hey so if I bought say a a good used 996 turbo for 38k, how much would it cost to get the conversion done with labour and parts? Thanks.

[inanobff95]

all u need to do is lower the car then it will put the icing on the cake

[GradusFutura]

Ya I see a few things I dont care for but to go somewhere not really anyone has gone they really did a pretty good job. If the suspension on wheel offsets were a little better and this thing was rollin down the street you wouldn't know it was a 996. Now all you need really is an LSD, Turbo motor and the wheels/suspension and your there. Thanks for the video. Gave me some great ideas.++

[DinoMendoza]

mrfamilyman1000 - The guy in the video says at 4:30 "RUF STYLE" which means it is not authentic RUF wheels they are copy. I know RUF is a Porsche tuner yes. I got RUF on my car. So get your statement right so you don't embarrass yourself. I'm not hating i'm speaking the truth. $50,000 plus the car you can already buy a 997 Turbo. ONCE AGAIN RUF STYLE WHEELS, WHICH MEANS NOT AUTHENTIC RUF. THEY ARE RUF REPLICA. THE GUY DIDN'T SAY "RUF WHEELS" HE SAID "RUF STYLE WHEELS"

[mrfamilyman1000]

For all those haters get back in your boxster and piss off. This is an amazing balls out conversion and looks the nuts. Ruff wheels not authentic?? wtf Ruf have built some of the best 911's period. Ive got a c2 shell that im building up and im gonna contact these boys. Thanks for showing its possible. it looks sick'

[hotzone84]

waste of money ..it even looks like its been put together from pieces

[DinoMendoza]

For $50,000 spent........ 1) RUF STYLE wheels (which means not authentic) (4:30) 2) 4 spokes steering wheel (1:20) 3) Stock Porsche/Brembo Brakes 4) No roll cage 5) Still has the rear seats (1:35) 6) Took 5 month to build (0:08) 7) Pep Boys blue fog lights (3:32) 8) NON- functional TURBO rear scoops NO HOLES (3:41) 9) Exhaust sounds stock (3:55) 10) Stock height no suspension work done (4:09) 11) Non XENON / LITRONICS headlights (5:00) 12) Orange shift knob (1:19)

[PaulMotorCompany]

@DinoMendoza Steering wheel and exhaust have now been upgraded and the turbo scoops are blacked out.

[ninjadudevideos]

wow at 5:20 the back lights were wired wrong LMAO thats professional

[ninjadudevideos]

wow not even a turbo

[Porsche010]

@TheMedicalman your mum is cheap and nasty..

[Standbysteve7]

With the money used to buy the C2 + the $50k you dropped on the car you could've bought a used 996 turbo and it would blow this out of the water. Just saying....

Exterior looks nice since it's OEM.

[S5XS5]

The interior is still ugly! :(

[makeminealarge1]

shame it aint got a turbo engine= waste of time and money= go buy the real deal

[nadertom]

very nice

[KamilEvolution]

It's an amazing piece of machine, it doesn't look converted.

Now it's for sale from what I recall, good luck.

[gionatan123456]

uaaaaauuuuuuuuuu..............­.........

[jdub81sbm]

What about the engine? Was anything done to that? It would be a shame to have such a nice looking vehicle without the grunt to back it up.
