997S Cab with GT3 Bumper
997S Cab with GT3 Bumper
A few folks had asked me to take some photos of my Cab with a new GT3 bumper. The question is whether it looks oddly proportioned. I surely don't think so - though I still ponder the addition of a rear wing someday. But more for the computed (if not realized) aerodynamic value.

Verde,
The car looks great. The GT3 front bumper always looks great on a cab. One of our clients is running a GT3 front on his 997 cab with a Techart Type III rear rear spoiler and the look is simply perfect. Balanced with a mix of sport and class.

Thank you. I'm extremely pleased. Love it actually.
I've got to recheck the suspension. I installed the Damptronics a few months ago (and before the new bumper) and I think they've 'settled'. The splitter is carving some rather nice grooves in the CA pavement. Good thing it's classified as a 'consumable'

I originally lowered 18mm but I think it's lower now. I'll probably recheck and readjust next weekend. I'm going to go with the f/r heights from the GT3. Someone published a chart with the details and now that I know where the standard/Porsche measuring points are, I can reproduce it.
Oh, and re the third radiator, I don't have a cooling issue at all. OTOH, I hear it comes at the opposite end of a supercharger

Thanks very much. BTW, OC PCar is right. I should have installed grills with the bumper. I had planned to but couldn't line things up logistically. I vacuumed out a lot of detritus from inside the two radiator vents today. I'm not too comfortable removing the bumper myself though I'd like to and add back in a set of grills.
Verde,
Where are the standard Porsche measuring points, if you don't mind me asking?

I find this rather oblique, and I ended up asking the tech at my dealer to show me, but here is a (slightly sloppy) scan of a manual showing the measuring points. If this doesn't do it for you, I also have a few photos from my iPhone. I'll also dig up the chart that compares a few different specs (including the GT3) if you're interested - all based on these measuring benchmarks.




. You're lowered 17mm or so, right?
