I do like those TE37s though... very nice indeed.

Maybe the owner thought 'By adding the GT2 moniker, it'll go faster...' Similar logic applies to those who put stickers all over their cars...

Just saw that the non-GT2 also has "GT2" sill plates.

My car has the carbon fiber GT2 sill plates also, which is annoying to me. I'm going to get a sticker made to cover that part of it or something.

Putting "GT2" on the interior rear deck, when the car isn't a GT2?? Why?
Funny, lots of effort to add the GT2 stuff everywhere and removed the rear seats but still left the seatbelts back there?

Good point on the seatbelts. It appears that logic and wasn't a strong suit for whoever added all the GT2 badging.

Slapping badges on stuff is a lot less work than unbolting things?

They could add to the stickers:

'GT2-ish'

Yea, but adding the front bumper and rear decklid/wing is a lot of work. It just seemed a bit half assed to leave the seatbelts in there.

I always wished the GT3 was actually called the GT4 so I could get a "GTfaux" plate for my old C2 (that I was going down the path of making into a GT3 clone).

With that 3.4l? Wow, you are brave...

I am going the GT2 route - I have the front cover, waiting on the carbon extractors and am still on the fence on whether or not to do the back... I really like the look though.

Delusions of grandeur. AKA SPS.

not sure abt how much work it will need tbh. There were some missing parts.
