Where are the headlight washers? I thought they were standard.

Probably only with the Xenon package, I'd guess.

That makes sense. I'm sure that must be it.

The car is just awesome! I am going to see a new 997 GT3 at my local dealer tomorrow before it is delivered to the new owner. This is their first 997 GT3. Too bad it is not going to be my car.

Actually, seeing your car made me put a deposit on a 997 GT3 today right after work. So, I guess it is time to sell my 996 GT3 as it is not exactly a car I can trade in.

For those interested here's a link to a white GT3 while getting PDI'd. It's up on the rack, so bunch of pictures of the underside, exhaust, shocks, motor, etc...

I tried to crawl under mine to take the same pics...but not quite enough room

The headers are longer than the ones on the 996 GT3. Good for breathing at high RPM. Power might not fall right at 8,000 rpm as the 996 GT3.

The front uprights are based on the 996 GT3 RS. Notice the double bolts to retain the damper, and the hole (hollow pieces). The RS uprights are made of magnesium, they're 5 lbs lighter than the ones on the 996 GT3 (unsprung weight reduction).

We already know those camber plates, and what we can do by rotating the studs on them.

It seems that a custom 996 GT3 coilover system is a direct bolt-on, other than the possible glitches with PASM.

Beautiful car. I don't know that I can drive my 997 now - I want a GT3! I think its the best looking 997 model - better than the turbo. My only compliant would be the sunroof.

If the car doesn't have Xenons, there's no shiny plastic bump in the front bumper cover? Aargh! I could have done the lights aftermarket and avoided the chome nipple?!
