Default My "GT3" wannabe 2015 update

Hey guy's so i've been busy collecting/installing parts over winter and I think its finally done the way I wanted it to be. I am big fan of OEM look with an exception of suspension & wheels. So here it is...My "GT3RS" widebooty wannabe..I choose GT3 wing instead of the RS..I just find the RS a little too "loud" for my taste. Front & Rear end is OEM GT3RS

Honestly it's a day & night difference in appearance. I got both front & rear from fellow members here. There's always someone selling a pair.

Not sure I would be able to do the full GT3 transformation but I've been eyeing doing the front aerokit bumper for my 997. How much of a PITA was it to switch the OEM bumper with your GT3 bumper?

Front is a direct swap, but I highly recommend going OEM route for obvious figment issues. I am lowered on H&R so obviously I scrape my lip everywhere so have about $250 put aside for a new lip every season
Rear on the other hand is quite complicated given exhaust & head shield mods. But if you have a good Indy then it's a couple hour job.

Personally, not a fan of the 997.1 GT3 wing, I like the 997.2 wing better. Your 911 turned out great, looks good from every angle.

Did you end up using factory parts for the rear also? Oem exhaust from GT3 or a conversion kit? Have always tinkered with doing the rear.

Have tried looking for a rear gurney lip for the lower deck lid also. Haven't come up with a good solution other than Oem for -$225.
