Car looks good.

Does the CUP wing really perform that well vs the OEM .1 RS wing? Would love to dial out some of the high speed oversteer...

@bmardiini - If Porsche Motorsport uses it on the track instead of the RS wing, then it must work

I agree that it is a little much for the street driving though.

@Maroli - No need for props bro. I don't think a lot of people know the history of RWB (Rauh-Welt Begriff). It's German meaning Rough World Concept started by Akira Nakai.

Great video on him


Grerat video f the Rauh-Welt group having fun driving their cars on the track

There are 2 companies that sell an aftermarket 997.1 LED taillights. ROTTEC and DECTANE

Mine are DECTANE

Current pix of the GT3 before RAUH-WELT banners and new graphics applied..... Wanted to see what the car would look like as a virgin replica cup car.

Car is forever changing!!!!!

BIG THANX to GUS F (Gustavo for letting these BBS E88 find a new home) and to RAUL @ FLAT6 MOTORWORKS in Miami for helping and shipping with the transaction!!!!!!

@SERGE: Thanx Serge....

Will the E88 fit your 996? fronts are 18x9 and rears are 18x12.... I thought the rear max for 996 was 18x11?

Hpw about this, I'll trade you my E88s for your 4.0 engine? What'cha think?

Isn't it illegal to block a fire station driveway? You're a danger to society, man!

Next time you're going to the San Carlos Mecca, give me a little notice and I'll get there. Amazing place.

996 can easily take 12" rear and 9" front
