Put on some Forgestar F14 brushed finish (sorry about my iPhone lens with bunch of chits lol)


Love this shot

I too just sold my 2012 GTR for a Porsche.I got a 997GT2.The performance is awesome.The great thing is I did not have to sacrifice HP!One the one thing about the P car is the fun factor!It smokes the GTR .I realize I am a 3 pedal kind of guy.Shifting and foot work is just part of the fun to me.I did enjoy my GTR but I won’t miss it!
Plus the value of GT2,3 will do better over time.Galvinized body panels are a big plus to the pcar too
Best of luck and enjoy the ride!

Jay,

I don't think they have updated their website due to they are still finalizing the kit. They are working wider rockers for this kit to compliment the whole widebody look.
Kit will includes
Front bumper (option to run DL)
Rear bumper
Front Fenders
Rockers
Rear fenders
Decklid
Uprights
Wing & end plates
Front, sides, rear splitters
Pricing will be around $13000-$14000 last time I spoke with them.

For now I am just running temporary setup of 18x10.5 & 18x12.5 (haven't really calculated the offset, my guess would somewhere around -40~-50) 305/35/18 & 335/30/18 Toyo R888. But the rear definitely has more room to go 1.5-2" more inside. But the problem is finding right size tire that fits 18x14.5 or 15.

Default Do you still have the OEM front bumper available?

I read that you were originally looking to part out the OEM front.

Is this still for sale?

Thanks

If he doesn't I'll have mine for sale in about a month. Also will have orbit racing carbon fiber dive planes for it for sale too.

Dibs, please. I'll come and get it. With cash. Think about how much you want for it.

Thanks.

Can we be sure it's not? I heard it changed hands a couple times. Looking it over I'd swear that was my car.
