Minor nitpick, but it looks odd to my eyes to see daylight through the ducts in the front lip. Does the GT3 run ducts to the brakes? Are ducts available? If so, I'd install them; or do something to block the ducts if you aren't going to route air to the brakes.

Looks fantastic - great photos.

I just posted the following question on a thread with pics of a GT3 and a similar front end.

Have you considered any kind of mesh screen to protect your radiators? I have the factory aero kit and those huge openings look like they're inviting a future rock/radiator meeting. The only protection is that the radiator's are angled so at least it would be a glancing blow. At track speed though that probably is irrelevant.

You might consider some door edge guard material to protect the leading edge of the lip. I used black on the GT3 lip and red on the (replacement) aero lip.

it only costs $10 or so and installs in minutes.

Wow, thanks for the great tip! I've already ordered a new black GT3 lip and will use the door edge guard.

Default 997 Aero wing spoiler error light disable

Anyone interested in getting rid of that annoying spoiler error every time you go over 75mph, PM me and I'll send you a diagram. I've searched for a solution other then spending 185 from my dealer. It's a pretty simple procedure.
