In the meantime, for those content in seeing the exterior of Bruce's ride, I
do have a pair he sent me. The only telltale evidence of his van being unusual
are the large Porsche twist alloys. Bruce? Boxster or 911?

I tend to agree with Stan about resale value. However, I am not adverse to
doing this same thing myself if I had the $$$ set aside for the project. Let's
face it, there a quite a few people on this list who have invested more money
than their vehicles are worth. We still do it anyway. This is slightly like
those who insist on buying only certain country specific parts when a less
expensive domestic or non-European part is available. In most cases, the resale
value is not affected. They do it anyway. Do you know why?

Because they can.

ps:
I'll be happy to pmail the exterior PIC's to anyone who wants them. I'm sure
Bruce won't mind.
