Default 997S with GT3 bumpers

Hey guys - just sharing some pics from a recent project on the car. I posted this on one of the other forums, but figured I'd share the finished result here.

My project is almost complete, but there are a few losse ends that will be cleaned up soon. Quick overview: I had an aerokit bumper, but I wanted the GT3 grill. I finally got that done when it was time for a re-spray. I had bought a used GT3 rear bumper from a forum member, so I got that sprayed and installed too. About a year ago, I bought a GT3Tek roof spoiler while they were having a special, so that's part of this project. Lastly, I decided to ad GT3Tek side skirts. Of note is that I didn't want to foot the bill for a center-exit exhaust, and I love my Fister/Gundo mufflers, so I had some custom work done. Here are the pics:











Hope you like the pics and let me know if you have any feedback or questions...

Nice. What kind of exhaust tips did you install when you went with the center pipes?

All the body mods seem to flow real well. Is that a GT3Tek lower front lip also? And the center exit is definitely a very cool mod. Are you considering a wing or LED tails?

Lower lip is a Cup lip that I cut down to avoid scraping
I have LED tails, but the passenger side failed while the car was at the body shop. I need to see about a replacement from Orange Tuning.
I'd like a wing, but I need to save up! I thought I'd go wingless for a while, but now it's very tempting!

Jack, slightly off subject; but are those OZ Ultraleggera's? If so, 19s and what offsets?

Nice setup! A ducktail style wing will look good!

Like the car. Just noticed that we are neighbors. I'm off Hopewell next to Seven Gables Farm.

Yes, they are - OZ UL's, 19", widebody offsets for my C2S. I added the red stripes.

Cool! I drive past there on my way to civilization. I'm in White Columns off Freemanville.
