Wow is all I can say...

Don't know if it's just the Gt3 bumper or the cup car splitter, but the infamous Carrera 2 wander above 120mph is gone.

Today was the first day I got to really drive my car since the new bumper was put on.

Also I scraped the front splitter within 5 minutes of driving at the exit to the post office(nothing some sandpaper and a can of bumper black spray paint can't fix).

So I guess it's the ROW030 for me, no PSS9 or lowering springs since I don't think I can drop the car much as a daily driver.

I think the more aggressive splitter sticks out more than the stock GT3 or aerokitII and since it's in the extreme front and not back near the front tires it scrapes. I will do the ROW030 though to change the raking of the car from neutral to having the front slightly lower than the back as all carrera should be and clean up some more handling.


Cheers all,

Corey

I am thinking of doing the same and am about ready to pull the trigger!

FYI: With the 6speed discount Suncoast quoted me $999 out the door and shipped to my house for the ROW M030...

Maybe we should call them and see about a deal if we purchase two?

What do you guys think -I'm looking to upgrade from my 1999 GT3 bumper and headlights to a GT3RS front end.

Any issues with the conversion?

Idea on where to get a set on Headlights (don't need litronic)
and a GT3RS bumper/splitter?

I have a set for either face lift or non I have fiberglass or poly however if you want to facelift the whole front then you are looking at 5400ish with paint includes new headlights new fenders new light buckets harness and fron bumper

You need new fenders as well to do the conversion as the new headlights will not fit in the ones you have!!

You'll have to verify but I have heard that you may have to change:

side skirts
front bumper cover
side fenders
gas lid
head lights (litronics only)

If you end up doing it let me know as I may be interested in your front bumper cover

Was the $999 including shipping? I'd be up for a group buy if you can arrange a better price...
