GT2 Front and Rear Conversion Pics
Well after the rear hydraulics went, the GT2 (Precision Porsche) rear deck lid and wing were installed. Then after discussing the track benefits of a GT2 front (aka more frontal down force) with my indy.
Here you go.
Here you go.

Rep Power: 89 IMHO. The fitment is very good/excellent. Not perfect as with OEM.

Did you notice more rear downforce with the GT2 Decklid/Wing?
My R-Turbo bumper made a big noticeable increase in front downforce i'm sure very similar to the GT2 front end and i'd like to see if similar stability gains could be had with the GT2 rear wing.

Your car looks great! Does the PP GT2 front bumper match up correctly with all the original 996TT ductwork and air deflectors behind the bumper that feed the radiators? I know with a genuine GT2 front bumper all of those parts need to be changed to the GT2 version otherwise there are air gaps between the bumper, ducts and rads.

Rep Power: 89 Yes. The front got looser to due the aero imbalance.

The bumper was not added just for the GT2 look.

Rep Power: 89 Sorry, I was not clear.
I had the GT2 rear done first and the extra down force caused to front of the car to lose more front grip at the track.
With the added GT2 front the aero is balanced out so all is good. Cannot wait to get to the track in a few weeks.
