997 GT3 conversion on a C2S help needed!
997 GT3 conversion on a C2S help needed!
Pretty much the project is completed... but still the car doesn't look rite to me! I've order genuine parts from my local porsche dealership and ordered exactly what I need.
Since my car is a NB Carrera 2S I've ordered the GT3 (non RS) front and rear bumper. I've double & triple checked the part number and its correct. I've ordered exact wheels off the non RS GT3 with offset at ET67 (factory specs) with 305 tyres. I've also added 7mm spacers (instead of the 5mm from factory, seen on all GT3s). So pretty much I've followed every step trying to make the car look proper.
Now I'm encountering the following issie, let me know what you guys think!
please see where the arrow is pointing, does look a bit flared than what I normally see on the road? The bumper is confirmed to be the NB GT3 item.
any thoughts and info is much appreciated
Cheers!

I have the same issue with my car and others on here have posted something similar with aftermarket rear bumpers.
I'm not 100% certain on the answer, but I'm pretty sure the reason is that the lower supports are difficult to adjust for proper fit and lines.
There are some long metal rods that connect to the inside of the bumper, just behind the rear wheel. Check it out.
I've been meaning to do something about mine, but I just let it be
People seem to like the wider look to mine, and that's a bit of a tradeoff. I'd prefer it was correct, but I've got too many other things on my plate to put any time into it

Rear end flaring with body kit and fixed, start at post #25: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post3172794
Thanks for the infos!! Had a look underneath and yes the flare was caused from the final screw wasnt on due to the fact that the gt3 kit won't fit carreras properly. Extra bracket was made today! Looks right now
cheers!!
cheers!!
