is that a 997 carbon hood leaning on the wall? Or is that an OEM hood and the carbon is on the car? I noticed you have a sticker for a badge.

Not a 997GT but added a new 2023 Turbo S cab to the garage.

Within 500 miles added full PPF, Bilstein Evo Coilovers, BC Exhaust and 200cell cats, Champion Wheels

OEM is leaning on the wall. Bought it a couple years ago and will eventually get it on the car. Never was sure what hood came with the car but not the highest quality.

Are you sure it’s not carbon, they always look kinda like crap… if you have a paint meter it will tell you most likely. If it’s OEM Carbon it won’t be hard to find a buyer.

Right to modding! A man after my own heart. Very nice.

I have a OEM GT2RS matte carbon hood sitting in the back office and its great quality. Take some pics of the underneath and the mounting points including the latch, you will know if its real or not. Unless your talking about the white hood currently installed? If it has ppf a paint meter will not be accurate.

Just noticed you're in Enci.

Not too many 997 GT's around these parts.

Marsh Composites makes the best 997 hood I've seen. Even better and lighter than the factory 2RS hoods. Pretty much all other hoods are garbage with poor quality. I'm getting one made and will post pics once it's done and arrives in Japan.

could be wrong here but seems like your hub is not securely attached. Seems to be a gap?

Removed about 1.5lbs of tire marbles that had been compressed into an brick behind the the front part of the rear fender liner.
I guess anyone who has a track or ex track gt3 should occasionally clean this spot out.
