Thanks, I have to finish the Tips, they are just there for temp fitment. I love the color of your car (if that is yours in your avatar), do you have any more pictures?

I'm having a little bit of trouble getting it to fit on the sides. The side exhaust shields are on the way.

I thought it was recommended to have a rear wing if you have an aerokit front end to counter balance downforce?

If you look on some of the earlier posts with the bumper off, you can see where I trimmed the black "plastic" to make mine fit. I just used a dremel tool to make the cuts.

It is. If my car starts to feel "floaty", I'll get one. I just wanted to try it without first.

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for it. I love that color.

Amazing looking car. Thought I saw one of these recently in L.A, it was a Carrera S but wasn't a GT3 yet looked even nicer without the wing. Beautiful.

I'm very close to purchasing AV M510 wheels (love them). I have been pondering 19" vs 20" but in general, these are heavier than the OEM Carrera Classics that my car came with from the factory. 26lbs vs 23lbs front and 29lbs vs 28lbs rear. Have you noticed any difference with the small amount of added unsprung weight? Did you also consider 19" vs. 20"?

Lastly, did you move to 305's rear vs. the stock 295's?

I stayed with 295 rears and they weighed the same as the OE setup with tires. (In a 19)

When I was piecing all my conversion together, my car was sitting in pieces for over a year.
