Default GT3 FRONT HOOD GRILLE...

New to forum... thks for all of your guidance and postings it helped me purchase my 997s aero.. thanks again..

firstly I added the porsche stock sport exhaust, evo air box and giac upgrades to my car and love them.. i can feel the response changes and smal power increase.. ( the response is easy to notice the change )..

i am wondering if i can "cut" the front "upper hood grille" of the gt3 into my areo front nose??

there is a carbon fiber grille for sale, and i would like to mount this on my car??

any ideas ???

also.. any idea on who can install a high quality clear bra in the fort myers florida area ???

Thanks all,

Casey

Default GT3 Air Vent

Now why would you want to cut the hood area just for the vent area on a GT3?

You want it that bad? Buy a new GT3 nose and sell your current one.

There may be some added duct work between the Aerocup center vent and that hood vent, so you better find out first. I would think so as just a hole in the hood area will not "vent" out the amount of air passing through the nose center.

I too have an Aerocup kit, but I'm not about to hack up a perfectly good car I ordered to spec for a lousy vent.

You have to direct it in and up somehow for it to work correctly. This is if you want the added downforce of the GT3 front end. I would see one in person and view it from top, bottom and in between.

This is no simple cut a hole in a hood aspect.... Think about it... It's a Porsche... not a Chevy Nova. Vette or whatever we all used to cut holes in hoods for that nice air scoop.
