gt2 front and gt3 rear

Had the car cleaned professionally and able to get some terrible iPhone 5s photos of some new exterior parts.. Powder coated the centerlocks with some graphite metallic, went with acid green 918 colored calipers, put an NR auto gt2 front on with techart leds, oem gt3 rear bumper. with a CARiD.COM carbon gt3 spoiler.. All the products with some prep and care came out really nice... Was shocked to see the carbon weave on the spoiler quality is really good, the deck lid itself is fiberglass, took some time fitting properly, but looks amazing and feels fine at speed. Love how we can dress up these 911s!

Wow fun stuff! Going OEM look parts vs aftermarket is the way to go.

Have you thought about getting some 997.2 headlights to update the front, and maybe some GT3RS CL wheels? They should fill out the car better than the standard CL's, which are nice but aren't the best offset.

Cool stuff!

I've got that exact NR Auto front bumper for sale. Maybe I should put it on the car. It looks fantastic. Can you make any comments on fit or quality? Seems like a nice piece from what I can see.

Yea just posted this thread to show people the quality of those replica pieces. Any bodyshop with experience can get these pieces to fit nicely. id say the fitment is 9/10, fiberglass is way more vulnerable to crack but had no issues with this piece. Also keep in mind an oem gt2 bumper is north of 6k for parts alone.

It's looking great, but you need to get a shorted tow hook. Perhaps the one on ebay/ali for honda. Would get it closer to the bumper with a little luck.
