Really Nice DERVISH. My car is the bone stock version of yours...... hopefully mine will look as nice as yours one day.

I'm not a fan of side skirts hence why there are none. I think it looks cleaner without. My previous P-Car had skirts and was never really into them. Different strokes for different folks, the world would be a dull place if we all agreed...

As for GT2M vs GTM, it's a decision I thought about for awhile, compared ALOT of photos. The difference is so subtle and I preferred the bigger down wing of the GT2M. I knew about everyone's theory about GT2M on a WB but risked it anyway and feel it paid off. If I were ever to change it though I'd only go for a Carbon RS style fitted to Misha's lid.

Thanks for all the comments though...

Very true and the side skirts are good for at least +30HP

Hi guys! I just got myself a 02 996C4S, and am looking for a GT2 bodykit for it. However, can't afford the real thing. Wld really be grateful if an expert from this forum can enlighten me on where to get a replica for a good price. Btw, what's the difference between a GTM wing and a GT2M wing? Any pics? Thanks guys!

Hi Fly996, I think the car in your avatar looks super good, especially the front bumper. You got it original from Techart? Would replicas be available for these?

Check Precision Porsche for the GT2 bumper. As for the differences between the wing, the GTM wing "flap" is a little smaller/sleeker, has more of a cut/angle than the bigger, rounded shape of the GT2M. The GT2M flap mimics the look of a 996 GT2 wing. Check Misha911.com for pic's of both. On a C4S (widebody) I'd go with the GT2M wing as it will effectively fill out the look on the big rear end. A GT2M wing with a GT2 front bumper and GT2 side skirts on a C4S would look sweet!

Looks fantastic...I've been hunting for a narrow body wing for a while. What did this one cost you finished and installed?

Looks like the real thing! Mind sharing how much you spent on this kit? Would there be any problems fitting these on - have heard horror stories abt how some cars turn out really awful due to replica kits that do not fit properly.
