Everything is from Precision and is fibreglass. There weren't many poly options when I was in the market and the ones I did find didn't have many reviews -- while Precision was well reviewed.

The fit and finish are great. I mean, there is some sanding in the vent holes to be done, and that is expected with fibreglass parts. However, overall the body lines and gaps are great.

There is some cutting of the plastic supports behind near the mufflers that are required, but as my Dad always says... that's hot rodding.

So I'm almost ready to spray this thing. I plan on doing that May 3 and it will be back on the road shortly after.

I wanted to show what I ended up doing with the ducts. First I used a tool I had to get from the UK for doing panel flanges on compound curves so I could produce a more "flush" look.



Then I took some time to mould the piece down and the body panel up a bit with some filler. After all that, I cut a body line in by hand to make it look like a factory Turbo -- which has this distinctive body line. The end result is a nice flush finish versus looking like something glued onto the car, which it would have ended up looking had I just cut a hole and stuck it on.





So this weekend I took it out to wash off all the crazy amount of dust that has built up and clean up the garage. I want to clean up a few minor things on the car to prep it for paint in a couple weeks.

You have to imagine it in a semi-gloss pearl white...

Some back pictures...

 

I have the full GT Street RS body kit from Precision Porsche in California and LOVE IT! I even custom modified the rear bumper to show off my turbo.

 

Very nice... where did you get the lanyards on the front bumper from?

APR Lotus Elise Carbon Fiber Canards. APR makes a number of different styles. After carefully looking at my GT Street RS Bumper and their website, I honestly just took a chance and ordered them. They are like a 95% perfect fit on my car and they were only $250 from APR verses $750 from Porsche....

Thanks for the info!

I was also confused by your question.

 

I know, I know... the result of doing too many things at once obviously...

These are great too! Bought mine from my local Porsche Dealership for 50%, was like $20 and I love the hell out of it!

 

Very nice body upgrades. New color? Or just a repaint? The duct looks really good.

 

Looks promising thus far Also, just a heads up if you're shopping around for canards, the race parts warehouse carbon 997.1 gt3 canards fit quite well with 2 rivets.

 

Looks amazing

 

That's exactly what I want! Do you have a link to where you got them?

So...

People will have opinions here, but I wanted to get it back on the road and went with the PlastiDip route to make that happen. I didn't want to drop another $5-8k on it at the moment.

They recently released pearls, so I went with a semi-gloss pearl white. It came out "ok". By that I mean, it is a driver and not a show car. But... that is what it is and how I use it. I have a show car, this is my toy that I drive hard... scratches, dents, and paint blemishes are all part of that story.

If the above said imperfections **** me off enough, I'll likely re-dip the car in the winter or get it properly painted.

Anyways, here are some garage pics... I look forward to being on the road by the end of the month!

PS The side pic was done before I put the wing on obviously and I'm still polishing my quad tips, so that is why it looks like there are none in the pics.
