I believe someone does, but it's not OEM.

I believe you can get the middle light in clear and so far the clear reflectors you can get painted the color of your exterior which should blend well.

Porsche definitely does not make one yet. I have searched and at this point have struck out. I have a set of the rear reflectors painted in the body color from Bumperplugs but won't switch them out until I find the third brake light in clear to match the other clear brake lights currently on the car.

Porsche does make it. Kyrocks' TTS has clear brake lights and the center one is clear. Don't know if same size as GT3. Maybe he can chime in with measurements?

TT and GT3 have different size light.

Sam, I have been thru the exercise with Porsche, twice, they do not offer clear as of yet for GT3, they are not the same for TTS and GT3.

The GT3 light is different than the Turbo light. The turbo rear center light comes in clear when you order clear lights.

I see, I meant they do make them (at least for the TTS), just not sure if for the GT3 but you obviously found out they do not. Was hoping the GT3 and TTS are same

I am sure you can get some one to retrofit them.

I had a 997.2 Turbo and I had the DRLs retrofitted to LEDs. Looked awesome and some fine work.

I will try to see if I still have the paperwork to see who did them for me.

i was gonna order clear but saw that nobody had a middle in clear.. end of the day the option is $650 and to buy them after the fact (and have the red ones still) is $540.... but need that clear center first..

i wonder if we can have one of the asian copy people for tail lights create it...
