I loveyourgt3rs dude. I'm eventually gonna go that route. First the 9.5" plus wide body fenders. They look so much better than the RS.2 fenders (sorry fellas). The front end almost is the same width as the rear! That can't be true can it?
BTW, how were you able to do the 3.9L conversion in 'Oz? Did a local do it for you or did you send your engine to Cargraphic?
More power to you!

where did you get the motor done and what mileage has the car?

Silverboy and CC911,
The carbon fibre front fenders are each only one inch wider than normal, but the impression they give is amazing and changes the total look of the car. I also much prefer them to the 'add on' style fender extensions that Porsche use on the .2RS as well as the new GT2RS. Cannot understand why Porsche are not able to replicate the Cargraphic version....I understand clearly the cost constraints of new moulds needing to be amortised over limited volumes, but they would surely be able to be used on other models, i.e. the turbo and turbo 's'...? (although they would then need to widen the front wheels of these cars also...).
(Just a comment on the new 2RS....thought they would have made it look much more like the GT3R with body extensions that would complete the 'look'.)
3.9 engine was built by Cargraphic and shipped here, where local highly rated independents (Weltmeister Melbourne) did a great job in the fitment. Car has done about 7800km, has done about 800km with new engine. Was dyno'd at about 462bhp at factory and feels much stronger throughout the rev range, torque also markedly increased especially around 3-5000rpm. Taking it in tomorrow for fresh oil, and a check on some smoke after standing for a week, although I understand that to be normal..?

Thanks Old Guy...I feel from the appearance point of view Porsche got it almost right with the 997...can't wait to see how the 998 (?) turns out....
