Car has the 650 HP Artsian Turbo Upgrade at 1.1 bar makes 530 to the wheels so about 650HP to the flywheel. I have always liked the aggressive Tech Art GT Street Body Kits. Plus the front and rear vents on the bumpers provided more air flow to the raditors and the intercoolers.

You did a terrific job! But it's really a 996, not a 997. And why paint the brakes yellow? Isn't that what they describe as a "poseur?"

Nice, you really went all out! I can't imagine how good it must feel to be done.

You're going to kill me, since you're done and I have no idea how much that GT3 RS green glasurit runs, but I think you should consider painting the rear fender intake ducts flat black (same as the wheels).

The reason I say this is because it will perfectly match the huge flat black openings in the GTstreet rear bumper, and will make the car look sooo wide. CF would work too, but I would just go flat black. It'll look nuts. If you don't feel like painting, go flat black vinyl wrap on one side just to see how it looks.

And, OK now you're really going to kill me, even though I personally don't like blacked out lights too much, I think some smoke or even dark tint might really make your rear taillights look super integrated with your whole green and black motif, which again is so easy to test using film.

Just food for thought, enjoy the car!

Hey let's give him a break, the man sells wheels not brakes!

Wow! Congrats on a job well done! I love it.

Is the color of the car in your pics a little off? Should the green be more like the one on the Calender Cover?

Yes it is a 996. I never said it was a 997, I said it was a Techart 997 GT Street body kit on a GT3 Green Porsche Turbo

I did not paint my brakes yellow. They are upgraded 15" front and rear Brembo 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears, not stock Porsche brakes.

It is very hard to capture the color with a camera. It takes full location studio lightning to do it.

Brembo supplies Zuffenhausen with brakes.
