This Lava Orange 991 GT3RS was recently back in our Orange County facility to have a few TechArt carbon fiber accents put on. The car was already running a GMG center section and roll bar, but the client wanted to add a few visual touches to help enunciate the car’s already arresting presence. Seeing how TechArt recently released an exclusive line of carbon fiber replacement components, we wanted to try them out.

I am a stickler for perfection when dealing with carbon fiber accents. All too often, parts that look perfect in internet photos fall far short in reality. Uneven weaving, bubbles in the resin, etc., are more common than most like to admit. I have worked on more than one SEMA project that ultimately had various carbon accents spray-painted as a last-minute fix. However, the TechArt components we received were nothing short of automotive artwork. The weave continuity, and finish, was OEM-quality . By replacing the front louvers, side mirrors, and side air intake trims we were able to strike just the right balance and arrived at a subtly dramatic look.














The bark emanating out of the GMG WC-GT center section turns heads, while the TechArt carbon accents helps to create a feast for the eyes.

Looks AMAZING. Very tempting... What product did you use to get that phenomenal shine?

Jimmy-D

Yep - it would be very tempting for me to do this if I had an RS - I hope they make a Carbon piece for the black section on engine cover in back because that is one area that is hideous looking and a CF replacement would look stunning

They've just released this:







Shame it doesn't cover all the OEM part, maybe there are trademark issues with the PORSCHE name. May get my engine cover painted body colour and then put this piece on top.

Pieces look great! Before they were available, these were on a UV car at the LA Autoshow in the Vendor hall

The finish was extremely glossy to begin with. We just use Meguiar's Quik Detailer as needed. If there's any further questions you have, just let me know.

I actually like the partial cover, can certainly see where you are coming from though. Your idea may actually be pretty spot on. As highlighted the TechArt rear cover is brand new, it will be exciting to see one in person.

Very interesting! Appreciate the real-world close-up shots. You can certainly tell they are not TechArt, but neat nonetheless.

Should have come from factory this way. Nice pieces

ScottKelly911

Yeah, they looked nice, but definitely not OEM quality, they were just factory pieces with CF layed over them so they looked slightly chunky. But you could tell if they were molded pieces of high quality, they'd look fantastic! It's too bad that Techart didnt do the full rear grill as a one piece molded unit because I'm sure their quality would be excellent and look fantastic. The other pieces, rocker, rear, front and fender lip pieces actually also looked very nice in CF
Absolutely agree!!

what is the pricing on these parts?

NateOZ

The only thing TechArt got wrong with them IMO was making it so you have to glue them in. I'm not a fan of things that aren't easy to reverse to keep the car stock and that's what has kept me away.

Look great, none the less. There is a Voodoo Blue RS that had them done in NY a few months ago.

As per forum rules you are welcome to send me a message, If I post pricing on here I will be forced into Flagellantism.

I can certainly empathize with that, but here are a couple notes worth mulling over.

The carbon mirror components are actual replacement pieces. An easy way for a spectator to tell if they were glued over top of the existing pieces would be to look at the mating edges. If these particular mirror components were glued on there would be no way to avoid a bulging effect along those edges (hence my close-up shot of the mirror's underside).

The grill slats and the rear air intake vents are overlays as you say, however, that does not change the fact they are still removable as a unit. If one felt the need, he could purchase (or trade for) replacement factory pieces and have them simply swapped back in.

Suum cuique pulchrum est.

I love the way that carbon looks!
