997 GTS - Exterior mods

I'll be in the market for a vehicle soon so i've been looking at what's available in the market. I noticed there's a used 2011 GTS 997.2 available locally in white ext, black int, black rims. Looking at it though, there's just something about the exterior that doesn't do it for me. Maybe the black rims make it look even worse than it seems due to the floating car look. Well anyway, the exterior seems very similar to a GT3; without the front lip and bumper vent/grill. I know a GT3 "look" vent can be retrofitted, but can the front lip be retrofitted too?

Side question: Anything special about the 997.2 GTS other than the exterior and centerlocks?

You are mistaken. LSD was NOT standard. PSE is.

Differences are X51 powerkit so 408 hp as mentioned prior...
PASM standard...
wide body rear even if only RWD...
Standard Aerokit front bumper cover and bespoke GTS aerokit front spoiler lip...
thicker rear sway bar...
alcantara interior standard and Centerlock wheels standard.
Leather interior and 5 lug wheels were no charge options available.

LSD is standard with SPASM but an option with PASM. LSD is standard on 4GTS as well as all C4 and C4S Carreras.

That GT3 front lip you show WILL NOT fit the standard GTS Aerokit front bumper cover.

The only OEM lips that fit the Aerokit bumper cover are these 3:
OEM GTS lip: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/50598305.html
OEM Speedster lip: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/50598306G2L.html
OEM Aerokit lip: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/50598303.html

The GT3 lip won't fit, but you can add the Speedster or Aero lip. Both are more aggressive than the standard GTS lip. Both are in the link below.

Love my speedster lip. Also had the rest of the lower body panels painted (last pic is before painting them white). Made a big difference IMO. Still considering doing a ducktail to complete my sport classic look...
