  1. If I don't need the switch I can also buy an exhaust system from Ebay (with a tube welded in between the inlet and outlet.

    Not sure what the oppinions are about these exhaust. Would like to keep it original, but the diffence is >1400$'s so I will give it a second thought.

    Thanks, frank

    I had OEM sport exhaust system installed (through dealer at the time of purchase). I love it!!! I use the switch often as I live in a rather quiet suburb (I also love feeling the car come alive after turning it on!).

    I don't regret going with OEM vs. aftermarket at all. I strongly suggest you hearing and driving with this exhaust system before making decision.

    Just my two cents....

  2. :o Man that thing looks nice, congrat on the new toy….It’s nice to see that we have similar taste. I just got my first Porsche 2005 S. My next project is to put on a GT3 Wing from Misha. The wings costs about $1300 plus shipping which is not bad compare to the original GT3 from a dealership. My question for you is how much did you pay for your wing and who make it? It’s beautiful! The picture here is from Misha new 997 GT3 wing.

    The wing is made by NRauto (www.nrauto.com). Sun Coast also sells them. http://www.nrauto.com/sub_index.asp?makeid...p;spage=Spoiler.

    They were $1595. I opted not to go with GT3 for personal preference also.

    Good luck!

  3. Great looking car. Where did you get the rear wing?

    Thanks

    Overall, I was satisfied although my body shop had to resurface the top. Since my car was black, any imperfection on the surface would show.

    Let me know with any questions.

    good luck!

    Looks mean and hot. I also did something similar from misha.com. A GT3 front and rear bumper, and a GT2 wing like yours. It does improve the looks. Although I did end up taking the splitter off for now, as my car was lowered and I was scraping everything.

    Great to see someone else with similar taste! :)

  4. Thanks all for your thoughts.

    Personally, I think Porsche did a great job with GT3 front (kubota - I don't know that answer to your question, but I know that they have now recognized that they've mis-priced the body part and will likely adjust the number accordingly (coming from a dealer)). I knew that the rear spoiler was going to be interesting/controversial as it's a hybrid solution.

    I decided to share this with you all because I am absolutely excited about it - my wife and two kids are also big fans (votes that count!!!)

    To be honest, it does get a bit too much attention on the road with these "fast and furious" Japanese car guys nagging to race. :)

    Let me know if you have any questions and interested in doing something similar.

    i have the same color combo as you black on black 05 997s. I just got my gt3 bumper painted install. Will get her back today. I haven't decided n the spoiler. My wife's been nagging about the rice rocket look if i added the rear. But that's all relevant to the eye of the beholder.

    Scuzy - I struggled and researched quite a bit on spoiler options myself. Naturally, my first option was to consider the factory GT3 spoiler (which was not offered by dealers at the time when I got mine done - still may be the case). But, GT3 spoiler was a bit too big for me; I know my pictures make mine look bigger but it really isn't. I wanted a bit "classic" look to my rear spoiler. GT2 spoiler is more traditional but a bit too high for my taste. So, I settled for this hybrid solution. I was a bit nervous ordering this (aftermarket) part without looking at it first, but I couldn't be happier with my decision.

    Per others' comments above, it is your preference. But, I think you'll be itching for a rear spoiler as soon as you see your car without one. :)

  6. Hello all,

    I just joined the forum. Great to be here and look forward to future dialog...

    I just picked up my 06 997 C2S from a body shop where I just got my front and rear body kit upgrades done.

    What's unique about this is that I got the GT3 front (I highly recommend doing this before Porsche pulls their OEM body kit out of their dealers) and the rear spoiler is a combination of GT2 spoiler on top of GT3 base (primarily to keep it lower than GT2 base).

    Take a look and let me know your thoughts.
