Brand new the wing is about $14k from Suncoast, and the seats are $14k brand new as well. He apparently was lucky enough to find the seats used But i don't know about the wing...

In the .1 GT3 headers and cats are 1 piece. So this system deletes only the side mufflers and save you about 57lbs. Also saves you a couple lbs on your wallet

No airbags... They're really light though, I think around 17-20 lbs each!

Took you years to do, eh? :P

Seems to me you gave up and took the easy way out and just bought a 2010!!!!!

And now maybe a 4.0 RS!!!!!

Well you did help me parts bin wise, so in turn you did help me build this GT3, and it did take you years to build it too

LOL! I'm trying my best to resist

Here's my list:

-Stoptech STR Kit (done by previous owner)
-Sharkwerks bypass (done by previous owner)
-Clubsport rollbar (done by previous owner)
-Cloth GT2 Buckets
-Harness for both sides
-Wevo semi-solid engine mounts
-Guard Transmission LSD rebuild (40/60)
-Cup lip
-Traqmate
-Center console painted to match exterior (it was scratched badly)

So all go, no show

I'm trying to keep all the unnecessary mods out, I still have lots to learn

What else you need to do...... SHEESH you're pretty much done!!!!!!

Maybe an RS wing or CUP WING and get a CUP front lip.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next on my list is damn roll bar with harnesses, helmet, and most of all $$$$$ for track time...... the most important mod of all to become a better driver.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But none of these new mods until current debt is paid

looks great - definitely put a cup front lip on the car, available from FVD.US with and without the brake duct cutouts.

Also, install 997.2 rear brake ducts!
