Since getting the car at the end of last year, I have finally finished with all the modding...well maybe not all but for the time being. I absolutely love the cup car look so naturally, having a white car I had to make it a cup car look. I bought a Getty design decklid and wing assembly to minimize costs. For anyone interested, make sure you have a top notch body shop for fit and finish, they do need quite a bit of work.
The shop I used was Europros in Gaithersburg MD. I was referred by quite a few enthusiasts and indy Porsche shops. They do a lot of work on cup cars, as well as Porsche restorations. They're currently fully restoring a real 73RS! The owner Jack and his team had to work on making the decklid perfect through priming and filling in all the pin-size spots throughout (I couldn't even tell but these guys are bigger perfectionist than me!). The paint was matched perfectly and quality of the finish was top notch. Even the fitment was perfect with Jack spending extra time to ensure all the gaps were even like OEM, and concourse quality.
I still have the PORSCHE decal to put on this weekend, add a gurney lip for the wing and eventually paint my wheels gold. Enough rambling...on to the pics.

Looks great
I also had issues with my Getty decklid
In essence you pay at least double for a quality fitting bolt on decklid OR spend all the extra on body shop labor to make the Getty fit

Beautiful. Love NB GT3's with OEM Cup car or well done after market Cup car look parts. Did you do the air intake too? Please post some more pic's of the underside of the deck lid. IMO, np if you leave your silver wheels as is.

Looks amazing. Was toying with the same idea so I'm glad to see the finished product. Did you get a cup splitter as well to balance out the aerodynamics? How much work was put into actual fitment?

not for the time being, unless i get a cup rear bumper one day...
thank you all!
appreciate it...as for the hydrant, i needed a quick wash, no where else to park for the hose to reach. don't worry im not one of those people that park in front of hydrants

Well according to my shop, it did need quite a bit. I would suggest to find a reputable shop. Europros had done many of these cup car wing conversions. Plus they work on many high end cars like Porsches, Audi, Merc, BMW...they are very familiar with Porsches of all eras.
I will post pics of the underside shortly.
much appreciated
thank you. i do have the cup splitter on the car, but with the brake duct. i also have one without the brake duct which i will be putting on as i prefer that look more. see my response above about the actual fitment.
