Default Photos of my GT2 build !

Well here we are after almost 24 long mos of cross country planning and parts
moving I finally can see (almost) the light at the end of the tunnel.
At the request of a few close friends and associates I'm going to try and post
a few significant project completion periods where i all but could taste the
outcome! thanks Bert

The arena red shots look pretty rough - the transformation looks great. Just curious as to the rear bumper cover, in the red shots it clearly does not line up with the flares, when black it does. I know it is a flexible piece, but do you just use the same one and pull it out a little wider to get it to line up?

Hmmmm, so how should it look while sitting in a dusty body shop having pieces trial-fit and fabbed?

Ed, Bert.. nice work! looks like all the socuring for parts is paying off!

Can't wait to her out & pitch it sideways!

To maybe answer a few questions at once, i've owned this TT for 13 years and earlier on after and off
street excursion it's basically been stored for the last 8 years.
The bumpers are the same TT and GT2 just attached to the flare as opposed to the fender,no heating,
stretching or pulling.
In the initial shots the original fenders are still attached to the bumper.
The wheel centers are refinished in factory slate mettalic grey and are exquisite! The outer halves are new speedline and etched in Speedline for Porsche
here are some additional shots as interiot RS carpet and leather Recaros are fitted as well as FVD/Heigo style roll bar
