Cool
OK, wheels and tires installed. Now for the fun part: Body work!











I also need to decide on the color. Initially I was going to paint it the same color the car has now with black Carrera script... but lately I have been thinking about 997GT3 RS Orange with black Carrera script...

The decision might be an easy one... the GT3RS Orange paint is double of what the Continental Orange is

From a thread I started in the 997 GT2/GT3 section:


Louis, thank you! That first thread alone was priceless.

Here are some samples from left to right:

Blutorange aka blood orange aka tangerine 018
Signal Orange 116
997 GT3RS Orange 8C6 (in the flesh on a whole car it looked lighter)
Gulf Orange 019

Not a photoshop image from my car... but close to what it would look like. Sent from a fellow pelican (and Floridian) member (JeremyD):

Quit working on everybody's car and work on that project!
