Default Mk1 GT3 nose and skirts with a MkII GT3 rear wing??

Any opinions? Comaptible? I am thinking a GT3 RS rear wing element down the road... keep my mantra in mind. Sleek, functional and fast!

Will look good. Yesterday I saw a blue '00 with GT3MK1 style factory aerokit, looked badass.

I personally really like the Mk. 1 "taco shell", Mk.2 is too much of a "park bench" and doesn't harmonize that nice with the rounded side skirts and front bumper of the Mk.1 aerokit.

Ciao,

Here's a little "photochop" of what I am thinking.

if functional is your aim, then i would stick to the components from one kit as they were aero-tuned at the same time... you may get lucky and have a mixed kit work but you really won't know how optimized or not it is until too late...

you have to keep in mind, most of these "street" kits are lift reduction devices, not down force generators...

Both are nice, I would keep it uniform though.

Beware a mismatch of front & rear lift coefficient.
