Default Looking to buy a 2005 GT3 - Anyone familiar with the history on this 2005 GT3?

Anyone familiar with the history on this 2005 GT3 for sale near Detroit, MI? This car has had a lot of modifications, but the dealer selling the car doesn't have any of the documentation on the car. If anyone is familiar with this car or the previous owners, please let me know. Thanks!

So that's what a GT2 nose looks like on the GT3... I have one with all the proper ducting/aero bits if anyone is interested.

I'm pretty sure it's the same one and the asking price then was in the low $50ks and now this dealership hiked it wayyyyy high IMO.

By the way I think the above looks great. Wonder what suspension it has on? Mike

Called that dealership and they're unwilling to budge on price. Previous owner had posted $65k OBO so I'm wondering what they ended up paying for it.

I quite like the Cargraphic / Ruf fender flairs.. I think it allows one to widen the track a couple of inches front and rear.. Cargraphic did that on their Tuner Grand Prix 996GT3RS..
