Default A few photos from last weekend of my 997.1 Turbo

The paparazzi caught my car at the recent Austin C&C gathering. I love the car and about the only mod I may do in the future is a coilover setup, but that will be down the line.

Current exterior mod list:
GMG exhaust
GIAC tune
Sachs 2.5 clutch and 964RS lightweight flywheel
Zunsport radiator grilles
GT3 smile
LED tails
GT2 style wing
Aerokit style front lip spoiler
AG Ruger Mesh wheels

Thanks. I'm actually not sure who made the wing. I bought it used and it appears to be an oversized GT2 style wing. If anyone knows the maker, it'd be interesting information to know.

Nice pics. The lip spoiler stands out, and that rear wing is from a GT2.

No worse or better I suppose. I have a spare one to put on once I tear this one up. As scuffs occur, I'll sand and repaint with the matte black bumper paint as needed until it is time to throw it away.

Was it difficult and a big investment to convert the hood to a GT2 look? Great looking car.

Thanks for the kudos guys.

The Zunsport grilles were easy. The aerokit (knockoff from ebay) was easy, just paint with bumper paint and swap out with OEM.

The GT3 smile wasn't difficult. Removing the bumper was kind of a PITA, It does require courage to cut into the bumper of a $140k car with a sawzall. I used the Rennline template, but placed the vent a bit higher than the Rennline template in order to achieve a more OEM GT3 look (which has minimal gap between top of bumper and the vent). I feel the Rennline template places it too low on the bumper and it looks out of place. I achieved a GT2 "like" front end for under $500.
