I own a 2007 997 C2S. I love the GT3 look and have been thinking hard. Have a few questions:

- The aerocup kit front bumper seems to be different than the GT3 front bumper where the GT3 one has a top grill opening. Can i order that separately? will it fit?

- The bottom lip on the GT3 is not painted, which is what i like. Does that come standard if i order that part?

- The rear bumper of the GT3 is obviously different and the aerocup kit doesn't include a change. Is there a way to replace that?

- Is the height between ground and the bottom of the rear bumper different between a GT3 and a C2S?

A: I ordered the GT3 RS front bumper from my porsche dealer, other parts you need for this are:

1) the difuser for the bottom (plastic peace that attaches to the bottom of the bumper and is flexible plastic which you can paint the same color as the bumper or leave black) this piece is about $300

2) the from bumper air vent which is what you are talking about and its $36 retail and $32 dealer cost if you want your paint/body/mechanic shop order it for you

the above package are 3 separate parts.

As far as the rear bumper you cannot fit it on your C2S since you have the exaust separated on each side where as for the GT3 it sits in the middle, so you'd have to look at an aftermarket one that has the vents like the GT3 but hollows for tips on each end. Ground clearance is different just because the GT3 sits lower, so depending on the bumper you order may or may not sit a bit lower than what your OEM bumper has.

I have an 05 C2S cab with the front completely changed to a GT3 RS, I will send you before and after pics, looks unbelievable! definitely worth every penny spent.

NICEEEE.

Are these colored porsche crest on the turbo wheels? I thought you couldnt get them on turbo wheels since they are shinny

yes they are, they are matte/silver and the wheels are shiny, but they still look good. IMG_1253.jpg
