FVD in Germany is selling their OEM version which is a mirror copy of the OEM GT2RS one. The rear truck I purchased was for a regular GT2 so the gurney is smaller. Not sure if you know but there is a slight difference between the gurney on the RS… it’s a little larger with the gurney arching up at the end which looks way cooler. So I will order that is a few weeks. Spent way to much already lol…

You should talk to them about the door pulls, they aren't right. They should pull from the back not the front. The cover should not move, only the strap pulls. I bet they gave you some aftermarket pulls that actually move.

yes I know these are not the oem door pulls. I purchased these because the oem ones only came in red strap so I purchased the one that removes the door handle. It’s a cheaper version but looks pretty good..

They look perfect
it’s a homage to the GT2RS and not supposed to be exact because it can’t be
It’s already great enough
enjoy

If you wanna go the OEM route hit up rstrada in CA they have some yellow door pulls for the 997 that match perfectly. I have em in my car and when I bought mine said they have a few more. Photo below

Your build will look out of this world!! I wish I were able to do the same!! Can’t wait to see the final result!
was wondering, by any chance, are you considering parting out with some original items? I’d be interested in the OE wing hydraulic system as mine has failed like they all do eventually…

Well I purchased my ‘11 Turbo S back in February of this year and always wanted the GT2RS but the $$$ for one is insane…. so here goes purchasing parts… Didn’t get to take pics of the front and rear gt2rs bumpers but I purchased them from Teile over in Germany. Here we go…
All stock Turbo S!
