Build a 958.1 GTS lookalike/clone?
Just random brainstorming or perhaps fun topic for discussion?
I've got a Carmine Red 2014 diesel. Frickin LOVE this thing.
I've seen, several times, a 958 Carmine Red GTS... and hot damn I love the way it looks.
What's special about the GTS, appearance wise, over a regular "base" Cayenne? Obviously the wheels, the GTS seems to sit lower (so likely springs/shocks), most GTS's I've seen have body colored wheel flares. Front bumper? Rear bumper?
Just for my "someday" file.

500kms and already going through that? Ouch 
Omni, the exterior differences from your diesel I know of are
Sport design package (not clear exactly what this includes, but may cover some other things listed.
Front bumper (you'll want the turbo bumper parts (same skin) for the inter cooler ducting).
Rocker skirts
Wheel arches
RS Spyder wheels
Black beadlights with the DRLs inside (requires PIWIS recoding)
Different spoiler on the deck lid
Black trim on the lip of the tail gate
Tinted rear lights
Black window surrounds (and roof rails if you have them) if you don't have that option already.
Look me up on 6SpeedOnline and you can find my thread where I replaced the bumper on my 13 as well as the head and tail lights (I stayed with the non-DRL lights though as I like their look better).

Forgot, the tail pipes are different too. You can't just swap them though as the GTS has 2 pipes coming out of the muffler so you'd have to either get a replica set or have a muffler shop cut out the plugs in the mufflers and add pipes for you.

If you don't switch to the GTS/TT headlights, a DIY for making the signal bars act like DRLs: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/c...mper-swap.html
