The new GT2

Being that the rear wing in now a nice unfinished Carbon Fiber, Does anyone know if Porsche will go the distance, and make the front "Louver's" above the front bumper in Carbon as well?

I'm sure alot of guys would love to switch out those flat black pieces.

I am sure Porsche could have come up with something better... However, the GT3 wheel style on the GT2 does not bother me. Sets the GT2 apart from the TT more. Not to sound like a snob or anything, but it would bother me more to see the GT style wheels on the regular Carrera or TT.

I bet these wheels are lighter then what the GT-2 usually comes with but, yeah, they don't look that good on the GT-2. Good excuse to change them..

I do not like the wheels that much on the GT2. For that kind of $$ and only 20hp gain, they should have done more, way more. How hard is it to make a decent looking wheel that is exclusive to the GT2? I guess the bean counters couldn't have that now could they.

the mirrors and front vents are carbon LOOK not real CF.

the wheels should differentiate gt2 from gt3 not converge their images!!!

bad marketing decisions. and who's going to buy them, they cant sell the 50 03's sitting on the floor.

cargraphics sells the carbon fiber side mirrors. I believe they are around $700-800 for the pair.
