Looks incredible. What front lip/sideskirts and springs? Is that a GT hood?

Thanks! Moshammer lip and fenders, oem RS side skirts, oem .1 RS carbon hood, and HR springs. Probably will swap out the HR spring set up soon though.

Very nice. Are you in the states? Moshammer was high on my list of mods but I was unable to find a reliable importer. Think your setup would work great on a cabriolet though the rear wing setup has always perplexed me on a cab--a wing larger than oem has never looked right to me on a cab.

Yup in Southern CA. I ordered direct from Moshammer in Germany. Took a couple weeks but the parts got here.

Nice look.

Do you have the front lift as that looks LOW.

It is. No lift but I have advanced angling skills 😂

How have you sorted out the air intakes, the 991 Turbo has a central scoop whereas this deckkid has dual side scoops.
Thanks

looks like this decklid was modeled after the .2 GT3. It’s missing the center hole for the air vent. See attached.

Btw found a decklid support / latch used did you get yours already? If not let me know I’ll send you the link.

Yes exactly my point, not sure how Gixxer has solved this, the 991.1 GT3 would fit without changes but 991.2, GT3RS and GT2RS have the same layout with central fans.

About the latch, please do if you found one, thank you

Yes, I have the carbon fiber latch plate and the center cutout is not going to be an issue. Beau at *Wicked is providing a custom lid for the turbo vents and we are planning to precision cut the center hole to match.

I struggled with this a bit, keeping the dual inlets would be a better solution for more flow, but the required change to the full GT2RS airbox assembly might not be worth the ~3k USD to be spent on it.

GT2Driver, sorry I already purchased the carbon latch. If anything changes however I will let you know for sure.
