If you're not sure about the blingy wheels, you could always have them refinished if you like the style. A classic color combo with guards red would be either gold or bronze centers. You could keep the polished lips as well.
Get the calipers painted red as well.
Thank you! Gold centers has definitely crossed my mind. Maybe i'll do that once i get bored of the brushed silver, which shouldn't take long. I also thought about painting the calipers but i may eventually want to upgrade them so maybe i'll wait.

I bought this car in 3 months ago and It is about 90% complete. Everything including headlights, DRL's and tail lights was pretty much plug and play. Bumpers, lights and exhaust are OEM GT3. Major thanks to the Rennlisters on here that have been answering questions through PM's and text to help me with this project. If it wasn't for Rennlist, i probably would not have even thought about doing any of this.

Before:







After:








Shout out to:

@whoadude For inspiring the GT3 look on a Carrera and being helpful through PM's & showing how a WB rear bumper fits a NB.
@hyp991 For his thread on the 991.2 rear and showing it's all mostly plug and play
@911. For helping me with ideas on the GT3 latch/lock mechanism. @97supratt For helping and selling me the OEM GT3 Crossmember/plate
@SoCal C2S For helping out with my Fitment questions and @SealGrey997 for the wheels.
@polobai For his thread on the GT Sideskirts
and thanks to @Zee007 for hooking me up with the tail lights.

Let me just get this out the way: I know some will love it, some may not like mods, and some Rocket Scientist will probably say something like "YoU sHoUld hAvE jUsT bOuGhT a GT3". Also, i'm not trying to be a "poser" i just really like the the aggressive styling of the GT cars, sorry if that is against the law.

Thanks all!
Oh man, this is awesome!!! Amazing job!

I’m literally looking at getting the GT3 wing for my 991.2 S.

Do you know a good source from where I can get the GT3 wing and GT2/3RS side skirts? I’ve been searching all around for 6 months now but haven’t found anything.

Do you have Instagram? Would love to follow your build more closely…I’m at @MazMarketplace991.2

Because of cooling issues, I don't think it's possible to install the GT wing onto the 991.2, you can take a look at the Tech Art wing though.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. The side skirts are pretty affordable right from the dealer. I know @getPorscheparts sometimes run sales and package deals on these sideskirts. You can also try Suncoast. The wing you'll have to get extremely lucky to find one and when you do, get ready to pay $$$$. Unless you go aftermarket. I only have a personal IG page right now but maybe i'll start an automotive one.

Where did you get the spoiler from? Is it a .1 or .2 fitment? Is it aftermarket? If so which brand so I can get one with proper fitment?

Honestly i've had both OEM and Ebay fiberglass. If you can get an OEM one for a decent price it is worth the extra $$. Your body shop will thank you,

Rather than making new thread's i'll just keep making updates here.

Here is a November update. I went back to dark wheels, I feel like black wheels make the car look a bit more aggressive and less "show". The wheels are Advan GT. Here are some Non-iPhone pics finally:

I think Sport Mirrors would make for a nice touch. But looks great!
