GT3 Front hood Vent

I know some of you have done this. I saw it somewhere on here from a board member.

The Vent is $44.00 from Porsche. They recommend a new bumper to install. I don't think so.

Am I missing anything outside of making sure it aligns up with the Turbo's hood?

Since my car is white I thought it would offset it a little in the front.

Also who here sells the Porsche Crest in silver for the hood? Anyone local in ATL, GA - so I can just pick them up? If not - any website or sponsor would be greatly appreciated. Eric(bumperplugs) - you sell these? I thought I looked over your site but I wasn't sure.

Thank you.

I was going to do it but decided against it...I still have the vent somewhere. I'll wait til I can get the GT2 wing. Gotta balance out the downforces on both front/rear.

And yes, Eric is the only one that sells the authetic silver Porsche crest. The cheap copies tends to fade over time.

Thanks Atomic!! Great pics of the cars(twins) in the other post!

I will check his website again for them.

Do you think that the vents will cause a downforce issue in the front? without the balance?

A few guys I spoke to about the downforces all said to wait til I get the GT2 wing so I guess that's what I'm going to do. If I'm going to do something then I want to do it right. I'm even considering getting the GT2 front bumper too.

I really like the front bumper. I think its the clean line without the fogs that I like about it. I wonder how much they would charge for that since its a limited production car so that parts would not just be something they would make a lot of.

You are right about making sure you do it right. I will inquire as well and see what some others are saying before I do any cutting.
