This Porsche Boxster certainly seems confused about its identity

Customizing cars is something that many car enthusiasts get into. We often feature extremely detailed and stunning examples of such here on Carscoops but today we’re not totally sure what to make of one 2000 Porsche Boxster. Take a quick look around it and you’ll come to find out that it isn’t sure what it is either.
First and foremost, let’s take that tour together before we dive into the ad itself. The front bumper has the Porsche wordmark on it much as you’d see on the rear of some of the brand’s models. That same wordmark sits at the back with a shoddily placed GTS badge just above it.
The side skirts read GT3 RS and just behind the cabin, you’ll find what looks a lot like 911 Speedster humps. The entire car has a body kit on it that seems to widen out a lot in the rear and provides a front lip spoiler along with new headlight housings that ditch the runny egg situation for a modernized 911.2 headlights in the front. By our count, that’s at least four different models represented in one way or another on this singular car.
Perhaps the ad can help clarify some of this confusion. Spoiler alert: it only gets wackier from here. According to the ad, this is a “Porsche 911 GT3 Wide Body Convertible.” The seller specifically describes it by saying “You are looking [at a] 2000 Porsche with [an] amazing GT3 and 5 wide body kit on it… this [a] super rare car GT3 Porsche GT2RS Style.”
Sure, they might just be intending to say that it’s a Porsche with a 911 GT3 (and 5?) wide body kit but note this; the word Boxster never appears in the ad at any point. The ad also tells us that at around 93k miles, the engine was swapped out for one with just 50k miles on it.

The seller is asking $39,999 for the car over on eBay. Evidently, the new engine is a “high-performance” version with no catalytic converters. We’re not sure how well that’ll pass Californian regulations but it won’t matter as we wouldn’t touch this thing with a real GT3 RS length pole.
