indeed the white is nice, but the black/black is pure evil. suits the nature of the beast.

The cars look great, I love the white with black wheels, it looks so aggressive. Keep Fabspeed in mind if anyone is looking for any Exhaust, Intake or ECU Tuning upgrades for it. We have a great customer who also just picked one up and will be sending it to us for a full performance package with ECU upgrade in early march. Check Fabspeed.com for updates.
thanks,

Hilarious indeed! Imagine what Tiff could do to Jason's face (and bowels) in a GT2 RS...

my friend just got his. actually he's the Porsche importer in this country. they asked for 5 units, but were only given 2. other one is silver and has been picked up by the owner already.

#66 of 500. apparently this car is identical in trim and options (not that there's many options on the '2RS i think?) to the one of Formula One star Mark Webber.

anybody else order the one piece fender? i assumed it was standard on all the cars, but i was told its a $4,000 option?!

looks good though, nicer than the add on lips.

here are some pics i shot at the factory back in October





i loved the riveted on fenders on the 993 GT2... those were OTT in a motorsports sort of way. the lips on the 997 3&2RS aren't quite as in your face, so IMO they look better just smoothly flared like here as opposed to tacked on.

sorry, OT...

Wow, that white one is stunning. Thanks for the pics.

Must be a bitch to carry the red cones with you all the time though

White with the black wheels and bi-color interior is one of my favorite combos. I ordered the carbon ("one-piece") fenders. The side mirrors bottom half is painted to match body color which is a small detail but a nice touch.

I have heard of multiple dealers that wanted more allocations but could not get them. Maybe this one won't lose $100k upon titling

Those pictures in white look great!

I am getting the front splitter and rear wing gurney lip and was debating whether to get the Carbon hood and mirrors?!

what do you guys think?

That white/red/black GT2 is edging towards a color scheme I'd expect on a Nissan GTR, yech.
