Either supply your own motor or get one from us, either way, we’ll make the upgrade quick and painless.

NOTE: If you want to have heat you either need to run a hose from the fan shroud or use an SC/carrera blower. The 3.6 blower WILL NOT clear the rear deck lid hinges. They were moved outward on the C2 models.
The same holds true for the air filter housing. You can cut off the outside (and USE a K&N exposed to air) or purchase a Cone Style filter as listed above. You can also pay $195 for a Faux Carbon Fiber Fabiani frame, or I can cut your housing and give you $185 change!
