Adding a GT3 front bumper question

Is this a straight fit? Are all you need is the bumper, the vent and the lip? Or are there brackets inside that are needed. Anyone do this yet and know?

No problem, its a straight fit. You need the the retaining frames on the inside of the airintakes to match the airboxes. Save som bucks and go for the matt black front lip. The car will be very low, especially with if you have lowered the car.

Ric at Suncoast can help you. He helped me.

Why not go for the rear bumper also? Haven't seen any cars here with that conversion yet.

Car looks great. I called Ric, he wasn't sure what was in the "kit" they sell. Do you have the list of what was in the kit.

I bought this conversion kit from him. All parts needed are included. I had to get new horns, because of the 3rd radiator which I also installed.

Here is a picture after the install without the front lip.

Anytime bud! Strangely enough I don't miss the cab because the quiet on-highway ride makes up for it. The one thing I miss so far is the one touch passenger window, coupes don't have one touch for some reason. I picked it up Sun, here are the threads with pics.

I know all the parts now. If you don't have the center radiator than what is in that space? Will the black plastic piece from my cover fit? Does it come with a piece that fits in there?

That's easily fixed with the module from mods4cars.com. I have it and one touch passenger window works great.

Totally off topic, but that's a badass avatar you have there.

You can also fit grills on the air intakes and let the air go trough the center intake and out the top vent. Then you actually get som effect of the top vent. Farnebacher Loles has them.

I did so on the car I have for the moment.
