Super INSANE GT2 with Centerlock Conversion

This is hands down one of the coolest cars we have equipped. This guy is a regular here on 6speed so I am sure he will chime in. But this previous black 997 scored some serious upgrades. Of those was the Porsche OEM Centerlock conversion. No more 5 lug! He also equipped his car with the new BBS RE Centerlock wheels.

Looking for new wheels, coilovers, exhaust, tuning, turbo upgrades, clutch kits, and more for your Porsche 997 Turbo? Check out our Porsche 997 Turbo store here!

Interesting - Yellow calipers on aftermarket discs. Any info available on the conversion or are they red calipers just painted yellow?

Not mocking the reason you did it. Just the funny placement of the red tape.

bbywu its stucco tape that was used for the more chip prone areas and worked great (thicker , very sticky ). willow has big rocks. only chip that occured was the one my passenger did with my harness on my door...
