The answer to this question and many others can be answered by visiting the website of Mike Vetter's The Car Factory, based in Micco, Florida. There you will see many stunning photos which show how the company's special Porsche Boxster Rebody kits can trick up an existing, perhaps aging, Boxster to take on the look of a Porsche Carrera GT. By putting on deeply carved custom side panels, scissor doors, and a rear wing assembly that raises up higher with the speed of the car, Mike Vetter's site brings a whole new meaning to "Hot Re-Body!" There are hot bodies literally all over his website!
On The Car Factory site, there are not only views of Porsche Boxster rebody kits finished and with all components flared open to show their function, but Hooters girls in their work uniforms are standing on and draped over every part of the rebodied vehicles to show off the sex appeal. The customer for these kits would be anybody who thinks the tailored style of a classic Porsche Boxster is a little too tame to attract the kind of eye-popping attention he needs and is on a budget. With one of Mike's reasonably-priced kits, he can take off the existing tidy rear panels and lay a winged fiberglass one- piece rear end up and over the intact trunk cover, creating a fluted wing assembly. As you are on the road, the rear wing lifts up as you pick up speed. Who wouldn't want that?
Girls Not Included
Although The Car Factory sells kits for their custom-designed cosmetic augmentations to basic cars like the Porsche Boxster, their forte is in-facility work. The average Joe with a sports car that needs a little body panel oomph can consult with the guys at The Car Factory, who can show him the various quick-to-do solutions they have. He can then send his car to their facility, where they can pop on some excitement to his old car and roll it out with, maybe not the Hooters girls already attached, but to a point where he can easily attract his own!
Vetter's site points out the affordable aspect of adding his cosmetic rebody kits to your original car: a basic body panel kit sells for less than $7,000, and they can help you find a package to rebuild a modest older Porsche, their favorite donor car, with features mimicking the looks of four hundred-thousand-dollar custom classics. You will not even have to disturb your original car's interior, and also, there will never be a question of your vehicle being a total replica-- it will have your original sportscar chassis and badging. In cases where tools and time are lacking, but money not so much, Mike's Car Factory can take your existing Boxster chassis and do a high-tech, turnkey transformation for anywhere from $45,000 up, depending on your desired customizations, and you can usually have your car in about two months.
There are all kinds of ideas you can get from The Car Factory's body panel additions; some of them are written up in various kit car magazines, and they are even piloting a television show called "Kit" which will feature some of their many projects stage by stage. You can view the demo pilot of this TV show on The Car Factory website at markalexandermiller.com/TheCarFactory/.
