I've noticed a few 991 GT3s in downtown Los Angeles lately. Anyone here? Just wondering what your experiences have been with respect to needing the front lift kit, ground clearance, usability, etc.

For example, when entering the Citibank plaza parking structure, my Lotus rubs ever so slightly. Seen a GT3 in the same parking lot but curious if the car had front lift.

Thanks in advance.

I saw one parked at the Jonathan Club last week.

I'm there quite often.

I have the lift.

Most parking structures are generally GT3 friendly, although there is one in the rear of the Library Tower that could be tricky sans lift.

Never tried the Citibank tower, however.

996 in DTLA...I see a few 991s and 997s driving around. Clearly I don't have front lift but I don't generally have a problem. Just gotta go sideways everywhere...

Thanks gents. I should have mentioned that I have an early slot for a GT4 and Porsche decided not to offer the lift for it. Hoping it works out for places I commonly visit...

I'm in an about downtown LA--no problems with GT3, but then again I always use the lift coming in and out of garages. If you think you see ipse dixit's car, but it has regular PDLS rather than LED headlights...it's me!

I have the guards red one in downtown. I use the lift everyday down here.

If you guys are around next Saturday night...they are airing the F1 race at Tom's Urban Tavern at LA Live...just a heads up.

Nice tip on the F1 race!

my car doesn't have lift and front lip can scratch a little once in a while but I'm totally fine with it. ground clearance is fine with me in dtla, only problem is the road quality.

That's true, there is so much construction going on right now in DTLA that once relatively smooth roads are now covered with steel plates. For the next nine months, an SUV is the best choice for DTLA.

If there is ever a GT3 meet in DTLA, I'd like to buy someone a beer in exchange for letting me try out the bucket seats!

Is that a meet where nobody drives their car to the actual meet?

lol, I work in DTLA, but I HATE HATE driving in.

I commend you guys for driving your GT3's to work.

I've seen so many accidents and even gotten hit by idiots on the way to DTLA, that I'm traumatized.

I used to drive my GT-R around, but I got a lot of attention from the people you don't want attention from.

I'm down for a meet, but I'll bring my AMG in as that's my DD, or I'll walk from my office, lol.

I take the fine LA Subway system every day to Universal City...cannot drive the GT3 daily
