Congrats on the car, garage (I thought it was a dealership showroom for a second) and the two girls (you'll have your hands full in about 15 years or so!)

Under heavy braking it must touch a lot, so the inner fender is a wear part.

-GT3 (non-RS) center muffler bypass will fit the RS as well (I have mounted FDV Brombacher
center bypass).

confirm on rubbing, as delivered. i think it can be fixed with alignment.

Do you think a front lift will alllow more steering angle without touching the inner fender.

I think the alignment for the RS is the same with or without lift.

If you drive "normal" the tire will touch the inner fender if the wheel is not straight, basically.

Thank you for sharing this - one might think something is seriously wrong with ones car.

Funny thought that the press not have mentioned this...

Absolutely amazing! Both cars and Garage! Love to see more pix of all of the above!

Kobalt, I'm guessing the press probably didn't mention the rubbing because the press cars probably had the liners taken out since they were mostly driven on track and offer more downforce with them taken out. For anyone experiencing mild understeer on track, I'd be interested to know if you take out the liners, if the understeer goes away. AP said that for track use taking them out offers more downforce. I wonder how fast the car needs to go in order to feel an appreciable difference in downforce.

It's rubbing mostly on the main liners not the grill under the front aero gills! Howeve on the track it is rubbing here as well (tho those can be taken out).
