Dude I like that.
I was thinking the same thing would be cool.
How did you do that?

Guess all the lightweight CF offsets the added weight of the alcantara and leather....maybe?

Thanks for the compliments!

It is a 3 piece kit that Suncoast Porsche is just now able to get.

http://www.e-partssales.com/miva/mer...ry_Code=997alc

It's a fairly reasonable DIY project. I posted install info here.

Most of the interior carbon is just cosmetic, but this carbon helps with the weight..

I catch quite a bit of criticism for it! My GT3 is slate gray metallic, a discontinued special option color.

It looks good, and the RS is the only model to come standard with stripes.

More visibility and intimidation at the track.

And, she has quite a few "RS" goodies including the ones US RS's don't get. Not a wide body RS though.

I can send stripes out to you exactly the same but without RS part if you are ever interested. $120.00 shipped to CONUS for 2 full sets (allows you to make mistakes if self-install and you haven't done it), or is back-up after the first starts to get chewed up on the track.

Thanks, but you may not have read my post. I chose the RS stripes and have no intention of changing them. It even has RS carbon/illuminated door sills. Maybe color or to 2010 style.

What's the name of the business? Nice, light GT3 you have. What all have you done to it?
