Default GT3 to GT3 RS conversion kit.

Hello guys,

I am wondering if anyone heard or knows of a conversion kit for the GT3 to make it look like the RS.

Body kit and exhaust ... I am more interested in the look than the performance at this stage.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Saif

Did you see try techart? It's probably early to see anything, but techart would be worth talking to. I doubt it'll be cheap considering a titanium slip-on exhaust starts at about $8k from Akra.

Just get one. You will probably spend the same. Wait for 1 year, there would be enough for everybody.

Search this forum for wings. Someone posted photos from a company making a decklid and wing for the GT3 that were similar looking to the RS. However, you'll likely have zero luck in finding someone to make the front fenders with the exhaust vents. Not to mention the frunk lid or roof (since these parts on an RS have the crease lines).

The body part will cost a lot. Also you don't get the wider track and the roof. Better off to spend 50k and get the rs

Why do you want to change your GT3 to look like an RS? The GT3 is beautiful the way it is.

Yeah. Everyone else here is pretty much spot on: To do it right is probably going to cost as much as the difference in price. Give it a year or so and just get the RS. The conversion would probably take that long anyway, hahaha.

You can't use and RS motor deck lid with a regular GT3. There is no ram air intake for the motor like on the regular 3.

You would come out way ahead just getting an RS. You will spend a fortune tying to convert and hurt the resale value of your beautiful GT3. The real RS will hold its value the the converted GT3 will decrease in value. Keep it original.

Although.....I really like the new RS steering wheel, and I could see buying that part for my GT3, keeping the original of course.

It's funny that many call it the "Macan" wheel when when my dealer specifically calls its the "918" wheel.
nevertheless I like it as it's 10mm smaller and is void of the buttons.
