Default Porsche 996 Turbo Made To Looks Like A GT2RS

Not sure what to think of this.



From the article:
ZR Auto has unveiled its latest Porsche 911 transformation and the GT2 RS look may seem over the top for a Porsche 911 Turbo, but this precision instrument has the performance credentials to back it up. The exterior has been significantly upgraded with a Techart body kit, made up of front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear wing, and front splitter, and is finished up with a set of striking red-painted monoblock alloys.

10 pictures and full article

I do not like posers so the sticker with GT2RS would be out.

Tread softly. But carry a big stick.

i think it's a great job and understand well the desire to do it? but i cant stand the color scheme ( esp the wheels ack ) and the gt2rs "badge tuning" lol. would HAVE to go. so im 50/50 on it. but im leaning toward doing a full front end conversion with drl's and what is essentially the techart lookalike 997gt
im just concerned that after dropping 5-7 k on parts etc, i'll not be able to drive as i do now with impunity, and the LAST thing i could live with is a +600rwhp coffee and cars "ooh and ahh" er LOL that i couldnt tear as* up mts in as i do now. rock chips be damned

Why do they advertise that the car is a GT2RS (with four "GT2RS" decals) when the car is not a GT2RS?

Hokey.

I kinda like the look. The red wheels are maybe a bit much for my taste. The "wannabe" GT2RS stickers are sacrilege and would need to go!

If it was a real 996 GT2 and the decals just said GT2 it would be OK I guess.

Better than presenting it as something it is not.

I'm personally not a fan of putting non-OEM decals on a car advertising what model car it is. In my Porsche's case, the factory "turbo" on the back, and "turbo" wheel center caps, are about my limit for exterior advertising.

I like the 714HP part of it, not to keen on the stickers though

A GT2 would never have a sunroof...especially an RS. Its a great car trying to be something its not.

I like everything except the GT2RS stickers. Nothing wrong with modding your car into an individual statement of what you think these cars should look like.

Wow, amazing the crap the peanut gallery says here. Sad too. I don't like all the graphics and decals, for ME. I can also recognize it is a sweet car, and an amazing performer. Why pan it, esp if your car is never driven, except on perfect Sundays once in a blue moon. If it is not for you....move on to the next post.

Guess people's mothers never taught them "if you do not have anything nice to say, do't say anything."
