How to make a 996 look like a GT3?
I have some renters who want my 996 to "look" like a GT3. I have a 99' yellow 996 with a aero kit and sport 2 rims. I did a search but it didn't turn up much besides:
1) Rear GT3 badges.
2) Painted red calipers.
I'm really looking to make just the exterior look like the GT3. Thanks.

I have quite a few official pics of the GT2 on my website that may help you figure out what you need...at least cosmetically. There's even an interior view but loooks pretty much the same.

Other things to consider are to lower the car to the height of the 996GT3 and to open up the middle air intake of the front aerokit bumper.

... and the lower tab on the rear areokit spoiler is black on the GT3.
... and the lower spoiler lip on the front of the GT3 is also black.
... and the GT3 has special seats. Gert has these at great prices.
... and if you are really serious the GT3 had an optional roll bar.

I'm VERY interested in pictures of the black pieces, where they are located and how big they are. I could have stickers made up at the lcoal sign shop that could "simulate" them. I'm really looking to market a "looks like a GT3 package" to my renters. Again, just the exterior parts.

Someone told me the front piece is only $40 from the dealer and comes in a black gel coat for painting or as is. The rear piece looks a little more difficult to remove (haven't checked the manuals).
Here are a couple of pics I dug up (not my car). One is hard to seen but if you look close the front lip is black (it's not the shadow honest):

Here it is in Artic Silver on my car... this would be black on a GT3. I think Performance Products can get you a GT3 badge if not try Gert at Carnewal.com.
