But a stock 996 trying to look like a GT3 though...c'mon. that's just sad. That's the automotive equivalent of stuffing a sock in your pants, or a boob job.

If you can't afford, or can't handle, a GT3 then don't pretend like you can.
Isn't the stock aero identical to the gt3? I MIGHT go with the gt3 rs spoiler at some point down the line, but I'm going to need more down force upfront...

Well, my 40th AE already has X51 w/ 345hp, and GT3 skirts. I am planning on adding X74 suspention, tail and front lip. So am i trying to make it a GT3? NO. But for a street car will be pretty close so why not a GT3 wing and lip to compleate the look.
Now a guys slapping a GT3 badge on a C2 well that is a whole other story.

To make it more GT3? Take 1 996 + dealer + trade-in deal = GT3

IMO, 996 Ruf body kit is one of the best. Wing is not too flashy, and with the skirts/front it really compliments the 911 body.
