Honestly, anyone who really wants a GT2 and knows what he's buying, wont give a hoot about what wheels or taillights the car's wearing. And this GT2 seems pristine, with practically no miles.

If I was in the US and wanted a GT2, I'd try to negotiate a little and take this in a heartbeat. These cars are still under-appreciated GT's, but that won't be the case for long.

GLWS - she's a beauty.

Thx for the kind words. Maybe it will find a good home or just stay where it's at.... Who knows.

I like the wheels....I have a set of OEM GT2 RS all black rims with Porsche Crest center caps if the buyer would prefer. I would be willing to do a trade at no additional cost to the buyer provided your HRE's are 19's and have OEM offset's.

If your buyer doesn't want to deal with un-mounting current rubber I can supply my GT2 RS rims with:

Hoosiers R6's (7 heat cycles)

RE-11's (less then 2000 street miles and zero heat cycles, 245/35 and 305/30)

Toyo R888 (under 1000 street miles and two track days/7 heat cycles). These tires actually get better after 4 or 5 heat cycles. 235/35 and 305/30.

This is not a Hijack... just info for a serious buyer who would prefer a OEM set-up. I actually have Porsche Exclusive all Red Rear tail lights as well....

Default a little info on the car

Lets see what I can think of here….
Its an 08’ gt2, bought new from Porsche exchange in IL in april of 2008, original sticker price was 200,850. While having my gt3 in for oil change in july of 2011 I seen and bought the car from byers imports with 340 miles. I am the second owner. Oil and brake fluid change in june 2011 before I purchased it. This car came with the heated comfy buckets, I wanted a car with the carbon backed gt2 seats. Byers swapped them out as part of the purchase before I would buy it. I had it in last fall at 3000 miles for another oil change. They also did a recall fix on it while it was there…the paperwork says drivability recall, in which they replaced # 000-043-209-06 protective tube(whatever that is). I also installed a new oem battery in aug 2012, which just went bad, actually as we I type this, the battery is at the dealer and I am fighting them for some kind of warranty since it didn’t last 2 years. It was always on my ctek7002 charger. In summer/fall of 2012 I started to make some changes to the car. I purchased the HRE p40SC wheels in brush tinted red, p-zero trofeo r from frisby tire. Bought oem tpms from suncoast and had them all installed at IPS motorsports here in Columbus ohio. next I wanted an exhaust that I could hear, as I was so used to the sound of my gt3. So I went with gmg for this, I purchased the gt2rs gmg wc-gt 3.5 inch system 200 cell cats, and gmg headers. I also went with gmg for the world challenge cage in red. it was all installed in late 2012. In late 2013 I went with the good people at sharkwerks for tuning. EVOMSIT tuning. They had a file for a similar 200 cell large diameter free flow exhaust gt2. definite change there! I have also added a few other small touches such as the srp racing pedals, the gt2rs oem red shifter, bmc filter, a black hood crest, oem gt2 logo installed on the bose box( that was work and I don't think you will see another like it, lol), led tail lights(aftermarket) and blacked out the front side lens. A lot of RL seem to look down at my tail lights, but I love them, ive had nothing but compliments on them, at night they look more “ up to date” with the led’s. The car has 3250 miles right now. I have all the paperwork/receipts for anything and everything. No accidents, no scratches, no dings/dents. I welcome and would prefer anyone to come hear it, see it, ride in it prior to purchase. My reputation means more to me than this car, I would have hated to miss anything on it that a buyer might look down upon. Since ive owned it, only one person has ever sat in the passenger seat for a ride to the carryout….no others. Now for pictures...I hope to have a shoot done very soon, then I will have some photos worth posting! if the tails really turn you off, I will pay for new from suncoast. theres an old ad in the classifieds somewhere with a few pix and the vin#.

Priced very right and straight down the fairway on the description - glws wish I had $$ allowance from the wife to buy this one I would probably revert rear tail lights to appeal to the Porsche purists - will make it sell more quickly IMO. Not saying they aren't cool - just talking selling dynamics

Taillights, are you kidding me?? It's a 3k mile GT2, whoever is truly interested won't really care about something so minor.

It crossed my mind to buy this as a daily

sell GT2 seat, roll bar, stock exhaust...install comfy seat

Stock wheel, stock taillights are easy

After selling stuff on car u have a reasonable daily...the seats are $7k alone
