New Carbon & Paint on my Black GT3

Finally after some time thinking about it, then ordering parts , some weeks waitting for parts to get together from the different companies (some of them where special order!!), And finally reassembling everything back into the car (painful process, I did all myself!!). In the end the car looks like a totally different one, beatiful!!, pictures don do justice.

List of Mods:

Powdercoated Wheels by Fuzion Powdercoating.

Painted Black (exterior color) from BUMPERPLUGS.
Painted center cosole (including back and front sections), Painted faces (Radio, A/C, Sport button section, storage cubby), Seatbelts Outlets, Instruments surround, Door Openners, glove box openner, Wheel Center Caps (Black/Red GT3 legend).

Carbon Fiber from MACARBON.
Center and Side Vents (special order with vanes painted Black), Chrono surround, door sills and inner sills, door trims in door handle area, door mirror control triangles, door mirrors (upper part), Steering wheel buttons, Ignition and ligths control surround, Front bumper vent (smilie, still pending installation).

Carbon Fiber & Others Porsche OEM Parts from Suncoast Porsche.
Cup Holder trim, window controls trim, Door pocket cover and Handle, Shift **** and E-brake, Red Seat Belts.

My neighbor saw my car after some weeks (he was out the last 3 weeks), and He couldn't believe it!!

Now I have to get the center piece around the airbag in black (ASAP), also I'll order some grills for the radiator openings (to have them install together with the smilie).

This post is not complete if I don't thank to the guys at Macarbon (John and Lane) and Eric at Bumperplugs for the dedication, pasion for service and specially great quality. Thanks also to the guys at Suncoast Porsche.

Also thanks to Tony Kannan who's beutifully executed GT3 was my inspiration for this project (and still is).

I'm already planning some more mods!!

Regards,
gf.

Thanks Daytonaviolet, I have to say that it is a painful process, Nevertheless the end result is great!!
If you do it, find a qualified shop, don't have to say that this parts are in your face!!, apart from perfect the finish also must be durable.

Thats how the GT3 should cut the mustard, your car is truly menacing. I absolutely adore the black interior trim and black wheels, truly a tastefully done GT3. One of the best that I've seen so far and not doing it over the top.

Beautifully done Gus!! You're missing the Rennline Track mats to complete the look.
