Ummmm someone need a reading tutor? Did some skim right over or no comprende the comment about NOT rebadging the car. Jesus.... For years have seen 997 cars add center exit exhaust (like Gt3 cars...) combined with factory areo the car resembles a gt3.... Air cooled world is filled with gt2 tributes and cars going in a rs or lightweight direction but not the real thing... Even seeing water coolers doing air cooled like mods from Fuchs style wheels to duck tails some refer to as a tribute.... Shocking I know; hope no one having a stroke with the mentioned. Are all these car owners posers? Bet more true enthusiasts then most especially the purist ******... Re-badge a no no x 1billion but to tribute or modify a lesser model or different car to a possible unattainable model is far from posing.
I take it the 991 forum not all that mod friendly....

I say, if you like the way a certain 911 model looks, but don't want to accept the limitations of that model, OR Porsche won't sell you one, then by all means, build your own if that's possible and you don't mind losing money in the process.
After seeing the R's light silver CLs, I modified my plan to rid my car of black wheels (I've always disliked them but wanted CLs). I was going to paint them Platinum Silver Metallic (the dark gray color of GT3/GT4 wheels) but now I'm going with GT Silver. And if for some reason I'm not tickled pink with the end product, I'll get a set of GT3 wheels like our other friend just did to his DBM GTS, and spray them GT Silver. (I draw the line at the red stripe down the middle, not because I'm afraid of copying a 991R, but because it's ugly.)

Please don't forget to quote Porsche language to accompany the 991_458's exhaust options:
Porsche Sportier Exhaust (PSE2): Porsche Sportier Exhaust replaces the entire rear bumper and allows for three side-by-side cutouts. Each cutout has a different valved component that can be tweaked using 57,000 parameters from the on-board computer. Price: $4,000. NOTE: This does not come with the "center" exhaust pipe (#2 out of the 3 pipes). Please see PSEX below.
Porsche Sportiest Exhaust (PSEX): Porsche Sportiest Exhaust adds the middle exhaust component to PSEX, completing the "three tips" look. Price: $3,700.

I think this is a must for any 991.2 owner.

Good to see not all on the 991 forum are anti mods..... 
Agree completely. Hell, who wouldn't love to have a 72 911T that somebody filled in the oil-filler door, welded on RS flares and a ducktail lid and created a 2.7 Carrera RS tribute/replica out of, down to the badging, stripes and stickers? Or our own friend from Germany on this board who has turned his GTS into a wingless 4-seater GT3 lookalike?

Can do anything you want! Someone turned their GTS into a GT3 and he spent so much money/it looked so good, no one really called him names as I recall. Most were very supportive.... Thread is here somewhere.
I appreciate tasteful mods, and plan to do a few myself once building my business takes less time/money.

I had mine scheduled for April 12th, but then things got too busy preceding a 3-week trip that I'm just concluding tomorrow. So I backed it off till next week. Should have them back and on the car by the week after next.

So the 911R is a "ricer" classless car because it has stripes? The car is built from the factory with stripes....no?
