Sorry about not getting back sooner. No unfortunately I don't have any pics of it installed. Because it is usually covered by the plastic shrouds I never took any. It mounts to 2 of the 3 bolts on the front shock towers. Fits pretty snuggly around the battery and brake reservoir. About a 10-15 minute project. I have had this on both a 996 C2 and 996 turbo. Has worked without a problem. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if there are any differences up front with the GT3. I believe all 996's have similar dimensions and mounting points. You could check on line to see if they spec something different for a C2 vs. GT3.
As for handing differences, it is somewhat subjective. I thought that the steering was very tight and responsive. To me, it seemed to work very well in conjunction with the other suspension mods (X74, GT3 sway bars/drop links, GT3 adj. lower control arms). This gave it very predictable and neutral handling on the track. Nothing to scare you and controllable at the edge. Much of it will depend on how aggressively you drive, especially for a street car (vs. track). It's harder to explore the limits safely on the street!
Hope this helps!
