This is my gt3 rear proyect, thanks for all the information , very helpfull. Now exhaust and done.
Do you have any pictures of the wheel arch ends of the side skirts? I find they usually look aftermarket by the way they are cut. These look very good if the ends are shaped right?
Post if you have pictures please.
Is this rear wing the gt3tek wing? If so how does it look with the rear deck retracted? I have both the rear spoiler and front spoiler from gt3tek as I think you do but have yet to install any of it because I opted for the factory aerokit front bumper. Still wondering if I should install the rear spoiler or not. Post a pic retracted if you have one please.
I bought my car a year ago, and really love it. However after about 6 months I decided I wanted to "make it my own". There are other 997s in my area, and I just wanted mine to look a little different. I then stumbled upon this image on this forum.
I liked the "wingless" look of this car. It really reminded me on the 993 4S or the 996 4s. More agressive, wider front and rear, yet not as "in your face" as the GT3. That part was really important too, I don't really want to have a GT3 "clone". So that means no rear wing (for now at least) and certainly not the GT3 wheels. Don't get me wrong, the 997.1 GT3 is by far one of the best looking cars IMHO. Anyway...
EDIT here some similar angles of where I'm at now
Here is the rest of the "build"
I ordered some front and rear bumpers from Misha Designs, and after some delay ( guess some other threads on this forum swamped him with orders earlier this year) I got my bumpers delivered and mocked up.

I have a question for you. The lip is painted or poliurethane? I have the same aerokit, and I want to change the lip. A lot of many stone blows. If it is painted, did you apply any special paint?
Any other method to sort out the exhaust for the center exit? I tried deleting the cat and side muffler by installing a GT3 centre muffler directly from the header (sans the valves, similar to Cup car design with the centre muffler top opening sealed off) unfortunately the sound was so loud it was impossible to be street driven without being stopped.
Here is a Carrera S we did a complete color change to factory Porsche Chalk and added GT3 body kit. Wing tips and mirrors are now Green to match brakes.

So Fitment on the bumper was great, but there are a few things that needed some adjustment.
First off the heat shields under the bumper cover, and the brackets that hold them on, won't fit under the GT3 Bumpers because of the "vents" in the side of the bumper.
I don't have any pictures of what I cut up, but you can make it work.
The other part about mounting the bumper that doesn't fit 100% is the bottom mounts at the wheel arch. The GT3 one is about an inch lower. Not big deal.
Now on to the "big" issue... the exhaust. I wanted the Center exit exhaust, but obviously that isn't easy. After checking with others and what they did, I decided to try and keep the stock cats, instead of dealing with a light on the dash, or how to eliminate that. It seemed like others have tried, but none with an "easy" fix. Plus I am in NY state and get OBDII scanned for inspections.
I have a local guy that does pretty damn good exhaust work, so I thought I'd see what he could come up with. I bought some Magnaflow mufflers that have the "in" and "out" on the same side.
Here is the 90% done result... (just need to finalize the tips)
Sorry about the carp phone pictures. I know it's not easy to see everything, but you kinda get the idea. It's run similar to the OEM ones, but the piping keeps going past the "side" exits and goes to the center and out.
That's all I have for now, off to paint with it, and then put it all back together and put the final touches on the exhaust tips and it's respective heat shield.

Hello Xander,
could you provide what needs to be used to make this spacer for the lower portion of the bumper?
Would anyone know how to make this spacer required to mount the bumper properly?
