Default GT3 tow hooks for the track--

Finally got hold of these custom billet tow hooks from Japan, got a pair for me and one for RayGT3. Really nice quality, tho they weigh a porky 1 lb. apiece. (Hmmn, that's about double the weight of the equivalent Porsche part. Guess I'll have to rip something else off of the car to compensate... )

Patrik:

You're right. I need a "GT3 RS Evo" sticker to differentiate this car from those pokey factory models.

Nothing magical about an RS or RS+ conversion, all you have to do is swap out the clutch/flywheel, slap on some Cup and RSR suspension parts, and ditch those factory Bilsteins and H&R springs for something a little more, uh... sporting... My philosophy is that everything can be improved, even magic in a bottle from Porsche. Now if some poseur wants to put RS stickers on his stock 996 or GT3, that's another story-- false advertising.

You might want to put an "A" so it reads GT3 RSA for America. Just a suggestion though.
Fantastic looking car by the way. Love what you've done to it.

Sorry, but that looks cheezy as hell. There is no point for them ... the factory ones do the the job.
Now if you had deleted the entire bumper (like my car) then the cup ones make sense.
