Default 991.1 GT3 RS inside/out upgrade Mods

Hi Peeps,

so I've had this for a year now and decided to change / upgrades some parts which I felt should be done for this year to have a new refreshed look given now 992 GT3 is out.

initially in lava orange, wrapped to chalk white!

and first and foremost to chalk white and sprayed the wheels to black.

manage to take some shots with my GTR before she's gone. Love the whites tone in chalk white compared to the R35's pearl white

and thereafter comes the inside biggest mod:

replacing the LWB seats to the 918-spyder LWB sports seats. At the right place and right time, a scrapeyard was selling off a uk-spec'ed 2016 GT3 RS and it was RHD version as well. in this situation there would be no problem fitting on without any checklights issue as driver side is still driver side (if RHD) and not passenger side to driver side (in case of LHD-sourced seats).

took it to garage for fitting and manage to sell my existing seats to a fellow bro whom wanna retro-fit into his 964' ! XD

Since the seats come in white stitching, I have to re-do it into orange to match with the original car color theme with the interior stitching in orange.








Sits better, feel better, looks sooooooooooo much better than the previous seats. Its like feel at home in this car.

and now back to the exterior mods:

small touch touch to RS badge: the wheels air-valve caps,

991.2 side intakes vents, side skirt and 991R diffuser.

the air intakes makes so much of a difference in visual!








While it does look nice from the beneath but on street level you cannot see it anywhere unless you squat down and kneel to see the undercarriage.


so that's it folks. not much to change other than maybe an exhaust mods, and on the rear diffuser skirt that goes around the centre exhaust. the more I see the 992 GT3 the more Im tempted to do something on mine! Did a post back with a CMST diffuser on a RS and turns out to be pretty close to the 992 style; what do you guys think?

Wow that's nice. Although my car is white I'd love to update it with some color. Looks like you spared no expense.

All those good mods but still you left the steering wheel on the wrong side?

Thanks brother! White GT3 is nice as well, clean and sharp lines. you can just wrap it and take it off when you want back the original color!

Thanks brother I think there is all pretty much can be done on the car now, wanted the change to LED PDLS but they said due to the connection issue they can't connect xenon wires ones to the LED ones.

What's the steering wheel on the wrong side...?

That's a nice rear diffuser setup! Do you happen to know which diffuser it is exactly?

It is the OEM diffuser from the 911R... many of us 991.1 RS owners have done the same mod since it just bolts on in place of the engine cover.

Unless of course you mean the carbon fiber trim piece on the silver car above... in that case, no idea.

Yeah i mean the part around the exhaust tips on the silver car, that's called the diffuser on my e46 m3 but obviously the diffuser means something different on these cars. I have a 991.2 gt3 rs too though and i'm very interested in the part on that silver car, it looks a bit cleaner than the stock part imo.

I think it's the CMST tuning rear diffuser as i just saw this link: https://cmsttuning.com/products/cmst...-rear-diffuser
