2009 Porsche 911 997.2 GT3 Wing Install
Hey guys! I've never actually written a how to/DIY post but here are some shots of a small project I'm doing. Long story short, I own a Guards red 997.2, it took me months of searching until i found a female driven 1 owner car that is 6 speed (Thanks Colleen from VA). Its a base with few upgrades. After searching everywhere i finally found my favorite OEM GT3 wing on CL in New jersey. And I purchased a GT3 Tek front lip that will be getting installed as well. Thought I would share my car with you guys and provide some lovely pictures of the progress. I am making the car more tasteful in my eyes. I get that some of you may like and others won't but feel free to give your open opinion as it may help me make a final or reversible decision. Thanks Guys.

I just installed a stock TT fixed height wing. You will need to go to the dealer and have them recode your car to a fixed wing or buy the Rennkit Micromodule to get rid of the dash 'spoiler massage'. Then pick up the third brake delete kit wiring harness from Suncoast $120. That will kill the 'Raised third brake light' message. Now you will be message free. Looks good so far.

Since you're looking for opinions....
Too much for an otherwise stock 911. Mullet look, business up front and party out back.
The front lip will help, but a GT3 "look" front and rear bumper will help help balance out the dramatic looking wing.
Sometimes less is more.

Agreed..You need to go all the way with front lip or GT3 front bumper, side skirts and lower rear. That wing is way too aggressive by itself and looks out of place.

My intentions are aero kit style. Since the aero kit and gt3 share the same wing, I planned on going with the aero front end as well. Finding the front aero bumper for a reasonable price is the hard part. The 997 aero kit only has wing and different front bumper which I love the look. Plans of lowering and wheels are in the making. Thanks for the feedback though, its greatly appreciated! The gt3 tek front lip will have to do for now until I find one.
Here's an example of the look I am referring to...

Adding gt3 bumpers and lowering springs 997
I'm currently shopping for lowering springs until I save enough coin for some Coil-overs. H&R springs drop it about 1.5-2 inches so that'll help for now (opinions?) I agree with you... GT3 bumpers will look great, but the look wont match the HP lol Sheep in wolves clothing haha. Just looking to add the aero kit, lowered with some wheels. I'll keep posting pictures as I go. Should I rename the thread?

Thank you. I purposely sold my black 997.1 to get a red one because I kept dreaming of owning a GR one lol
