Are you going to do one?
Wondering if the one on the .2 GT3 will be a direct fit without needing to cut it up.

Yes, have a 0.2 GT3 one on order.
We will find out, installing it at the track to prove it works or doesn't.

I didn't order it but it comes from Suncoast.
Maybe its on their website?
Otherwise I will get it to you eventually.

Just an option, seen the R diffuser installed on GT3 and RS. Rather than a cut out, some are simply drilling holes under the trans cooler for cooling. If done neatly and then painted, looks much better than cutting a hole.

Thinking of moving to an apartment/condo, but I'm worried about the safety of my GT3 in a condo/apartment parking.
I have parked my cars at apartments; never an issue. In general most people give them a very wide berth.

The 991.2 GT3 diffuser does not have the cutout. At least the one GMG posted did not.

No
I wonder if the diffuser maybe somehow increases the air flow over the cooler.

Mine has not, and it was installed by MR, so i imagine there is a reason why + they know what they do.
I'll ask them next time i go there.

I've got mine too from MR.
Maybe it need a cutout when driven in Florida's much warmer climate?

I asked MR now: Porsche tested if the cutout was needed or not with the R and MR has verified it with the RS, lap after lap on the Nordschleife.

Maybe check and see if there are two different part numbers for the .2 GT3....one for manual and one for PDK?
