Default What Should I Add To Make My Car Look More GT3?

Hi guys, I am really into making my car look more like a GT3 and was thinking of a GT3 RS wing at the back. What do you think?

Cheers!

In the end you should go with your gut-feeling, what you think look the best but I have always loved the look of the Gen 1 GT3 wing on an early 996.

The GT3 RS is a wide body car, so the wing is very wide. It will fit on your narrow body car, but it will look large. It's your car, so do what you want. Just be aware of the pit falls.

Nice car

as gota911 says this a wide body ( turbo, c4s style) you can tell by the rear lights, it may look like a picnic table on the rear of a narrow body

The new GT3RS is a wide body. And it's the ONLY one we have known in the states which is what Tim was referring to.

However, the 996GT3RS is a narrow body.

Your car will not look right with the 996GT3RS additions as yours is a prefacelift 996.

If you want it to look really good, then what you are after is the MarkI GT3 aerokit. They are posted up in #4.


ps. and please, whatever you do, please don't slap a GT3 emblem on the back

The spec shows this as 76.8" width which is a wide body, iirc the narrow is 69.5"

It's not hard guys. Wide and Narrow is referred to within a model line NOT between generations.

996 GT3 Mark I is NARROW BODY
996 GT3 Mark II is NARROW BODY
997 GT3 is WIDE BODY

Have you thought about contacting them? I would NOT rely on the guesses from guys here unless they know for sure from first hand knowledge. Talk DIRECTLY to the vendor.

Ahhh thats better. I always thought 996 gt3 were narrow bodies. So putting a 996 Gt3 RS wing on my c4 wouldnt actually look EXtremely large like a picnic table right
