GT3 Kit, Cup Lift Suspension, Work Wheels, Exhaust & LED's

I previously posted a thread introducing myself and my travels with this car ( Portland to Richmond )

My goal was to have a sporty car, but mainly focus on the suspension and superficial aspects of the car. Working in the aftermarket parts industry, I have been lucky enough to build a lot of cool cars for work and myself personally. This car was no different and I am really pleased with the way it came out!

Mod List so far:

Precision Porsche GT3 997.1 Front Bumper
Precision Porsche GT3 997.1 Rear Bumper
Precision Porsche GT3 997.2 Wing
LED Daytime Running Lights
LED Tail lights
Lamin-X Headlight film
Custom center exit Exhaust
Muller 1 Way coilovers
Muller Air Lift System (to clear driveways etc)
Work Meister S1 3PC wheels (19x8.5 - 19x11.5)
Hankook v12 235/35/19 295/30/19

Still need to install a roll bar and harness's

For the rear exhaust I did a lot of research on here. Initially I went the straight pipes route but that got old really fast. I ended up doing a completely custom setup that I am very pleased with!



I noticed that the rear bumper was getting hot with the new exhaust setup so I decided to use thermal gold reflective foil. This stuff works wonders! It is used regularly on ALMS and Le Mans cars.





Here are some shots of test fitting the precision porsche gt3 bumpers and wing.





Here is the final product. I am very pleased with the outcome! Hope you guys like it!




















Here is a video of the car with straight pipes!


Lastly, huge thanks to the 2 automotiev photographers that helped capture this car. If you guys are in the mid atlantic area and want your car shot I highly recommend them!

I love the color combo. Great work! The custom exhaust looks very similar to min, particularly the lower pipes that route to the center. My only thought / question is about the tips. It's a bit tough to see from the photos but they look like they might be a bit small, proportionally. I bought some tips - two individual ones - that seem to work really well.
More recently, I bought the RSS over-run tip pair for $25 on their special. I'm not sure it they have any left but that might be another option. The downside is that there's no plate to mount them to, but the upside is that they are the proper size and by having a one-piece design, you don't need to worry as much about the alignment of the two tips. I'm still using my original tips, but maybe I'll make a change sometime in the future.
Congrats on the build - it looks like a great project.
Jack

Looks great! Can you provide some feedback on the suspension? Also how much lift does air lift system provide?

gangster! (in a good way)

These are the cars that I choose to live through vicariously. I don't have the stones nor the resources to pull off what you did. Awesome ride!
