No, it is the SPEC 996 fiberglass one. Just painted black.

Ah, don't worry about it. The rules don't say anything about you having to keep up with me.

did you have your cage built or was it pre-made? How much did it cost? Any more interior shots?

TRT41, can you tell me what is that lip under your front bumper ? it looks like the base C2 bumper right ?
Considering the huge wing you have in the back, I am surprised you don't have a gt3 front bumper (if I see correctly).

The car looks excellent. Thanks for sharing.
What mods do you, and other Spec 996 builders, do to alleviate possible oil starvation issues?
Best of luck to you this season.
