Absolutely stunning. I had no idea Porsche offered that color! One of the most staggering builds I've seen!!

I was going to wait to post until I got a P car, but I couldn't resist after seeing your car.

It's not a factory paint offered at the time.
But this dealer had it done as a special order to display this car at the auto show when 997.2 was launched.

Great looking front lip! I have a 2012 911 4 GTS and wanted to know if the 991 front lip would fit my car?

Yes because it's the same body as my car! It will require some modification, there's a great thread on this topic.

Great - thanks! Did you do the modifications yourself or have a shop do it? Also that paint color is gorgeous. I am thinking of putting xpel stealth on my metallic grey porsche to give it a similar look.

i suspect the mounting of the 991 front lip may be a different procedure (if possible at all) on the GTS bumper. The lower portion where the factory GTS lip mounts is a different shape than the standard Carrera bumper. may want to take a closer look

@ bmwfan - thanks for the information. Has anyone on the forum tried putting this 991 lip on a 997.2 GTS? If so how did it go?
