Default Who will be the 1st? 911R tribute out of your 991

Just curious... anyone have plans to do a possible 911R tribute like mods with their 991. By no means asking if someone will rebadge the car etc but maybe mod their car whether graphics, center exhaust, aero or other in the direction of the 911R.... could be a neat build IMO.

As an aside, Bacura, do you just love the 50? The first time I saw one, I thought it was so well done. Still do.

I do like the centered twin exhaust pip look on the 991R. If there's cost effective way to do it on 991, I would do it.

Here's how centered twin pip would look on a 991.2 C4S.

I really enjoy my 911/50. For me it is perfect. BUT I understand newer 911's will come along better than my 911/50. For me it is just a special snapshot into the ever evolving history of the 911. I will never sell it even though better 911's will be made. My was the first one to reach North American shores (although one was delivered in Chicago the week before I got mine.....damn Canada customs). It has the lowest limitation number in NA as well. I know it's not a 918 or 911R but to me it's a very special 911. But then again aren't all 911's special?

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....
