Whilst I assume you do believe a GT3 Touring is real, my request was simple to understand more about how to go about it and hopefully have less opinion based comments...... also assume Jeebus was a typo rather than misspell.
It's information and insight I'm after.

With respect to people bashing the Touring, I personally don’t care what they had called it. The car is brilliant albeit I think the name and the rear badge were afterthoughts. Regardless, like the 911R the car looks incredible sans wing and you don’t need a wing for the street other than to let people know it’s a GT3. Wing or no wing it’s the same f*in car. Looks are subjective but I understand a “GT3” by design has a fixed wing. Ok I get it. Let’s all write to Porsche so they never build a GT3 Touring again. This way my Touring goes up in value even more

Maybe in a year or two, Suncoast will offer an OEM replacement for Touring and vice-versa. Just use a different car for DD and just stick to the posted speed limit. Track your car once in a while and maybe, you will change your mind. You will attract a lot of attentions because you are driving a Porsche and specially a GT3.

Seems like the engine cover from the GTS would do it. You wont get the flip at the end but its close. Google rear end pictures of both cars. Same widebody. Same hatch opening.
I’m not sure about air intake/fan locations but should be easy to find out. They did change them from 991 to 991.2
I’m sure the wiring harness is the same. The dealer can activate the retractable spoiler.
I added a ducktail to my 997.2 GTS and did the reverse. No big deal

There was a similar thread on this not too long ago:

Sounds like the air intake location would be an issue depending on what you replace the GT3 wing with..

Given current winged versus touring supply and demand, seems like there is a market for someone to come up with a wing-to-touring conversion. Curious as to whether anyone has tried it or heard of it being done.
