@4 Point 0 Thank you, I appreciate the words! I followed your thread, you went absolutely crazy with your build. I'm sure you can make the GT3 rear bumper work with some adjustments and imagination.
The bumper would be ok, its the wing that is the issue.
I like how Tyler at APR did his swan neck so the pop up wing is still functional and stock.
I did the same thing to my old 996 turned it into a completely different car and I Absolutely love yours. Don’t listen to all the haters I sold my 996 for 34k and bought it for 18k so there’s also a market for selling them at a big premium.
I just bought a 991 and I’m doing a very similar build to yours. I just sent you a pm about exhaust!! Love your car great work!

Juan,
are you able to PM me a parts list for the front bumper swap?
I have a skin on the way but outside of the front lip, I’m unsure what I need to buy. I’m not sure how the center mesh will clip into the bumper, though I plan to use mesh from Amazon rather than the oe grille mesh.
so essentially-
LED drls
mesh
upper grille housing?
upper grill mesh
side mesh covers
upper vertical plastic lip?
Please correct me or add anything I’ve missed. Thanks so much.

Anywho, here is another comparison pic: (please excuse the wheel gap. I have H&R springs that still haven't settled)
Don't let the haters bother you, your car looks fantastic. You've only had it 3 months? You damn overachievers really irk me...Just kidding. Nice work!
I don’t know how i missed this thread. I have the GT3 front end. I wanted to do the rear as well, but its a problem with the 991.2 as the intakes are different.
When the little wing goes up, it feeds Intercoolers as well as engine.
Wrong badge is posing. You’ve done real aero.
I made my own badge up. I’m not a GT3 nor a GT3-RS.

When you want a faster Carrera you get a Carrera S.
When you want a faster Turbo you get a Turbo S, and
When you want a faster GT you get a ……🤣
Is there a work-around to do the .2 GT3 rear bumper (without wing) for the .2 car?
read the whole thread, congrats on the sale! car looked sick.
I want to ask the rude question on how much it was sold for, its the internet why not right?
its funny how this all works... My buddy has a 911 and he removed the carrera so it just says Porsche, everyone gave him a hard time saying he wanted to hide the fact that it was a lower trim model. I removed my "turbo s" and nobody cared lol
When i first started this, i was going to do 991.1 GT3 front, but as i began my search, i found 991.2 bumpers for a lot cheaper than the .1, so that is one of the reasons i went .2. It was actually less expensive.
Thank you!
Thank you! Still trying to get the exhaust to fit right. there is still room for some adjustments
Thanks! Check out the thread by @polobai it is very detailed.
Thanks. Also, the bumper is OEM from a GT3 and came with a "GT3" badge which i removed. Not sure why removing the GT3 badging would be posing? Nowhere on the car will it be labeled as something it is not. The bumper change was purely an aesthetic preference
PS. A lot of "old school 911" owners actually do tribute air cooled vehicles all the time. There was an RS America replica on here for sale not too long ago that got nothing but praises. Seems like only the "new school" 911 owners get their panties in a bunch.
where did you purchase the bumper and head lights ? I would like to upgrade my car in similar fashion.
