Default My first GT3

Hi all, allow me to introduce myself. I've had the car for about 3 months now and it's my first Porsche as well. I was fortunate to find a .1 GT3 with 3k miles, so I pulled the trigger.

It also happens to be a highly optioned vehicle with deviated stitching and seat belts, CF interior package and PCCB (I'd probably replace them with iron rotors for track).

So far, I've changed the wheels to OZ Formula HLT and RSS rear bypass with stainless finish. I'm extremely happy with the way it sounds. Here're some pics.

Thanks guys.

Kosmo, they're not CL wheels. But they do come with CL looking center caps and the regular center caps.

Congrats. Beautiful gt3 and wheels!

Agree, that's how Porsche should have faked CL's in their 997.2+ gt3 models (if it had to have the CL look). The best looking faux CL's I've seen. I was fooled and was going to ask the question Kosmo asked.
