991.1 Carrera conversion to gt2rs look

Instructor
Hi all, new to this forum.
recently sold my 04 gated gallardo. And bought my wife a Tesla and myself a Carrera.(didn’t think I would like it, but test drove one and by far best car I’ve driven in a long time)
never really liked the bubbly look of the base but absolutely die when I see an rs. So decided to buy a 911 and convert the body and do some minor engine modifications.
basically starting this thread for documentation purposes. And hopefully get help from the community if I run into any issues.
ordered all the parts to start. Will take some time to arrive

Nice project... I recently finished my Turbo S project, that was converted to GT3 RS... to GT2 RS. I used all OEM parts (bumpers, ducts etc...) because I did not want to deal with fitment issues. Took me a while to source it all, and it cost an arm and a leg... but everything bolted on so easy... Also, since I really didn't want GT2 RS logo's anywhere, I had the lip logo filled up and then painted all matte black.
Great job on tackling your project though. Looks pretty good so far!

Just get a PIWIS3... it's fairly cheap on this forum... then you can code it out and do all kinds of ****.

I have one for sale if you are interested to complete the look of your GT2RS conversion.
Here are pictures.

I know. I couldn't find just that piece, and wasn't going to go all out on the whole "Smiley" mesh and bracket as i already had that. How much are you asking for it?

Interesting, didn't realize the 2RS had that part. The GT3 doesn't.
Also, I don't like the OE GT grill color, meteor grey, on all exterior colors. On my car, I painted them black, otherwise against GT Silver they almost look body-matched.
