yes. the rear intercooler outlets will probably b an issue. im actually thinking to just do the front and side skirt now. in terms of the fitting of the rear bumper they have customized it to fit c2s and the exhaust outlet too fits the c2s sports exhaust whereas the original does not.

The bumpers looks awesome! The split twin exit in the rear finally looks at home.

I am a big fan of the GT3 Touring (I'm too old for a wing on my car). This is a nice effort to provide a similar look to the narrow body cars. I'll be following this. Please let us know the fit and finish (there is always some adjusting on aftermarket kits, I'm hoping this doesn't require too much). Good luck, this is a much better look than some I've seen.

DTKF & JUST BUD - YOU CAN GET THE LOOK OF A GT3 REAR END AND STILL UTILIZE THE REAR OF THE NARROW BODIED 991.2 - i just did this to my base 911 2 months ago......stock rear except i used an oem gt3 rear muffler / sport exhaust rear valance / mimo technik rear center valance piece - pretty much plug n play with a few custom mods of rear valance

Not really looking for the exhaust part.my ipe full system is on it's way. More to the whole gt3 rear bumper look. I like some spacing from the 2 tips. Btw. U think is possible to ask ur guys will there b any issues with changing a Carrera s rear bumper to a gt3 bumper.

Greetings from Germany!
This is my first forum post here. I own a 991.2 GTS and Panamera Sport Turismo. I'm very satisfied with them.
I would like to increase the down force of the front end of my GTS and therefore I wish to update the front end to GT3 front end (OEM).
As you all know in Germany we are allow to drive without speed limits. Because of that I don't want to damage the aerodynamics capabilities of the car by changing parts.
However, GTS has 12 Kg lift by 200 Km/h at front-end against the 8 Kg lift to Carrera S. We can say Carrera S has slightly better results here. So, the shape of GT3 front bumper designed to produce more down force and it makes the front end more stable. 991.2 GT3 produces 16 kg down force by 200 Km/h. The difference to GTS is 28 Kg! I don't think that 28 Kg difference cause oversteer but it will definetely solve the understeer problem. Means more fun on B-Roads and stable drive on Autobahn.
I also want to use K&W or Techart springs to reduced the total height around 10-15 mm and to equal the down force at the rear-end I plan to use the sport design pack spoiler (OEM).
Probably after all the max.speed will reduced by 3-5 Km/h
Is there anyone here made similar modifications? Can anybody share their experiences?
Note: I wouldn't change the rear bumper since the air outlets are very critical to keep the turbos cool. If you change the rear bumber you should definetely find a way to discharge the hot air out. My 2 cents...

The narrow body is exposed, the rear bumper looks awful, the GT3 wing is not fitted properly and its destroying air flow to the intake/intercoolers. The wheel offsets are way too aggressive in the back, the AC lines are exposed at the front bumper in the small gap under the badge.
I don't really get it.. The parts and idea are there but it looks very bad.

As mentioned above - I wouldn't swap out the entire rear bumper as the inlets for the intercoolers are essential to the functionality of the car.

Dude!!! Seriously? You cannot drop a casual bomb like that and walk away. Details and Pics man!!! What parts did you need to make it work. Its exactly the next mod I want is the GT3 front bumer and the third radiator.
I must have pics. Did you buy a GT3 radiator kit or GTS radiator kit. I want to replace all three with PWR up graded radiators. But they just sell the 3 radiators. No fitting kit.
I need to see this brother.
