Thanks John, looking forward to next year as well. It will have been a long winter.

What do you mean. Can you simply remove part of the bumper and get those holes?

Kind of. The bumper is the same as the GT3, it's the black "air inlet" that needs to be cut. This is a separate $200 part (it comes with the aero kit bumper) that goes behind the bumper.

Yep, the aero kit was meant for the 996 carrera, so it doesn't need a cut out for the center radiator. The kit comes with the center blocked, but easily removed for use on the GT3. Cost less than the GT3 cover.

I think I might spend the extra $$ for a GT3RS front bumper. Does the RS bumper bolt up like the standard GT3 bumper? Any other modifications have to be done? I've seen this done on a few of your cars and it looks incredible. Thanks for the help.

If u gonna use rs bumper if u want to take advantage of those air inlets up top u need parts spacers to tilt center radiator and block out plate so air directed into inlets on top of rs bumper. Mike
