really cool man


question for you that you might know from this process

i like the front fascia on my car, but the front fenders with the louvers would go really well with my cars asthetic....can one do just the front fenders without changing the whole front end?

Very cool - looks like it has left Mad Maxdom and with paint, should look pretty sharp. Nicely done.

If you do authentic RS fenders, you will have to do the entire front because the RS fenders are about an inch wider on both sides and will leave a noticeable gap. Someone (Moshammer for one and there may be others?) makes vented fenders specific to Turbo that fits stock front end. I don't know if the vents on these are actually functional or just for looks. 911partsdirect sells them as a complete downforce body kit... not sure if they sell the individual components separately.

Thank you!
Yep, in about another month we should be seeing some better progress!

Wow. Looking good!

How about these 21” GT in custom offsets finished in brushed Smokey Gunmetal?

Oh so shiny... those look very nice.

Wow! Would you mind sharing dimensions and offsets for these beauties?

Gixxerboy63

Thank you sir!

These wheels are specific to my build with wider RS front fenders, so it is not likely that they will fit any other "Normal" Porsche. LOL!
Front offsets will not work with Turbo car (without fender widening modifications) and will likely be pushed out too far to work on GT cars because of their wider track.

(This is where we landed on sizes and offsets after extensive measuring)
21x9.5 et28 front
21x12 et42 rear

Hi Man, car looks great !! The wheels are wide, very nice !

Quick question here, does the OEM GT3 bumper fit directly with no modifications ? I have a used original GT3 pumper with all its accessories.

Gixxerboy63

There are some vents, ducts and AC lines that will need to be changed to make it proper, but everything will bolt right up.

Thanks for taking the time to shed some light on the conversion. So the parts needs to be allocated from the turbo bumper to the GT3 ? or we need to buy new parts hat fits for the GT3 bumper ?

Did you remove all related parts to the front spoiler ? air lines, air pumps, etc ...

Gixxerboy63

I removed everything Turbo, including the front aero spoiler pieces. The front AC lines are also GT3 spec to allow proper clearance for the center duct
Everything is now GT3 or GT3RS spec.
