GT3 Vent Installation
Hey guys,
I'm seriously considering getting the Carbon Fiber GT3 vent for mt GT silver TT ala Fred.
Any recommendations on any body shop/place where I can get it done in Atlanta?

Thanks in advance.

Shashi

Just make sure that they put it up right near the edge of the bumper opening.

Do you have any pictures (or specs?) on the correct location?

Thanks!

Here are some pictures:





Don't have measurements but the body shop should be able to extrapolate exact location from these pictures. I'm also using official GT3 pictures too.

Don't do the carbon one it's looks to cheap and plasticy, save the money and do the OEM vent in flat black like atomic on the blue GT3 you see above. The part is only $75 I believe from www.carnewal.com

It's more than $75. it's 95 euros from carnewal. You may be able to get it cheaper elsewhere but I didn't bother. And yeah, I do think that the black one looks better.

Is this functional or just aesthetics? Does look good!

I don't know if it looks good but I like it on the GT3. It's probably more about aesthetics than functionality.
