Gt3RS fenders for the Turbo

While at the dealer today I checked into the GT3RS fenders after seeing they had just taken delivery of one. I figured how bad could they be, maybe a couple grand each....

They are 11,800 each. If you want the CF hood its 14,500. The parts guy told me they could give me "employee pricing" on the fenders at 8,500 each with a laugh. It looks like Porsche wants to keep these parts exclusive.

The front fenders are also over an inch wider. The front bumper would fit funny. I really love that hood, though.

Good to know Patrick. I wonder if the inch wider is in the center and they taper off into the door so they would fit flush or if they are exclusive to the GT3RS? Either way at that price it not in the plans.

How has your car been running? I brought mine in today because it was stalling coming out of my house after sitting for over a week. I figured possibly bad gas. I brought it in to the dealer turns out to be a bad crank position sensor. I should have it back early next week.

I bet they would fit. My buddy has a 997 RS and he put the carbon fiber RSR fenders on his, which wider as well.

Car is running great! My sat radio quit working but other than that, trouble free.

They will "fit" but they will look funny since the Turbo front bumper won't line up at the leading edge of the wheel well.

You're right, would need the RS bumper too. I'm sure that wouldn't be cheap either!

Gt3RS fenders for the Turbo

This talk is a product of the fact that Porsche fails to make an aggressive body kit option for its fastest 991. Yes I am aware there is an aerokit option but I am taking about a super aggressive GT3/GR3RS type bodykit. No question in my mind that a number of Turbo owners would order it.

I suppose Porsche will save the super aggressive bodykit for the 991.2 GT2//GT2RS when I expect they will come out (near the end of the 991.2 lifecycle. That doesn't help those of us would might want a super aggressive bodykit on their Turbo/Turbo S cars.

I always wanted to see what a turbo body with a fixed duck tail/or no spoiler would look like, hmmm.

Cool! With our extra wide bodied cars, I think it will look more "exotic' with the spoiler delete!

I actually do not hate the way it looks but it is a contentious topic due to the fact that the spoiler is there for aero etc.
