Embrace your eccentricities and enjoy life. Don't "not" do it just because of what others will think, do it because YOU want to as the OP did.

TBH, the OP's car is much more desirable and exciting to me than another standard 911. I love it. There was another build on here that was very similar with a ton of upgrades like this and it sold pretty quickly if I remember (it was black with a lot of interior upgrades including a cage and buckets.

My car wasn't stock literally the very next day that I had gotten it. I installed clear side markers and Rennline pedals. There are plenty more to come as well.

 

But... would you buy it if it over another standard 911 all things being equal?

I don't think anyone is knocking this guy for making it his own, but I think there's also a realization that not all of us would choose to do this.

Which... is the whole point, right?

 

This. Life is too short and do what makes you happy. Example. I bought a 997.1 GT3 and one of the reasons I did is I was able to add back seats for my kids (it has the attachment points from the factory) and it has a sunroof (yes I know blasphemy). Before anyone complains it's also one of my track cars and it now has a 4.1 stroker engine (upgraded from the 3.9 when I acquired it).



I just bought a 991.1 targa because I always loved the targa look and I wanted a naturally aspirated engine. I took out the OEM front grill because I prefer the GT3 type look and made my own ($$$). Next steps are GT3RS sideskirts, GT3 Style front lip, GT3 wheels, and possibly a GT3 rear bumper/exhaust. I know I'll never get the money back but cars are mostly my only hobby. I started with nothing and worked hard for what I have so why not enjoy it?

 

If I were serious about purchasing a car, yes, I would definitely consider this over a standard car.
All I would need is proof that it wasn't in an accident.

And, yes, it is the whole point - totally agree with you

 

It was a great looking car before. I love the GT front. Not a fan of wings but even with that I love what you did here. Hats off to you, no way I could complete a project like that .

 

I get what you're trying to say but not everyone wants to keep their car stock. Everyone has their own tastes. This may not be your cup of tea, but If a stock 911 was being sold vs a 911 with mods that i was planning on doing anyway (IE: GT bumpers), i would probably go with the modified car because its MY taste in cars. YOU may not like it, but others will. It's all subjective. Just like some people won't even think about buying a convertible 991, but some buyers ONLY look for convertibles. It's all preference. You nor I can come on here thinking our taste in cars is law. No one is forcing you to like my car or agree with what i did. But you seem to come on here trying to convince people that their taste is wrong. It's ok if you like "unmolested" stock cars, kudos to you, but not everyone thinks like you.

 

Thanks!

 

Exactly. And by the way, you can get your money back for bumpers, wheels, exhaust etc.. All these mods are reversible. Just keep your stock parts and sell the mods separately when you sell the car

 

Thank you!

 

gorgeous looking car, done very, very well.

looking forward to all future updates.

 

I love what the OP did and wonder if I should do the gtrs body on my targa?

 

Thank you, I'll try to update this thread as i continue the mods.

Thanks. And sure why not? It would look great and you wouldn't be the first Targa to do so. Here is another pic:

 

Here is another example of a GTS. (Just because)

This is @ccjin 's car. He has a GTS with centerlocks so he was able to do the GT3 wheels as well.

 

Here is a pic of the 991.2 headlights in action.

 

Love it!
