Yes, you're right. The cooling fan has been removed all together for this application.

Thanks for you comment. Wheels are definitely an individual taste. I happen to be a fan of HRE and have owned 2 other sets before. I think my 2nd set of wheels for this car will be the HRE C93 (photo below from my sold turbo)

GTS-R is on a distinguished road
Nice looking car and congratulations on the purchase. It looks like the front spoiler is restyled to mate correctly with the front bumper. I know on my car, I scrape not infrequently and need to replace the spoiler every so often. What options do you have for replacement of that part as the stock spoiler will no longer fit?

GTS-R, Thanks for the compliments.

To answer your question:
I've owned several lowered sports cars in the past, including Porsches, that had low front spoilers..often integrated into an aftermarket front bumper, so this is no new issue for me.

Low speed scrapes on the underside are hard to see and can be repainted. A really hard smack that would split the front spoiler can also be expertly repaired and repainted. I've done this a few times with my previous cars.

If I were ever to do something big, such as have an off track excursion and tear off my front spoiler completely (which I have never done), well in that case I would just have the original shop that did the work in Charlotte, NC make me a new front spoiler. Easy as that.

Who fabricated that rear intake? That is just like the Carrera Cup cars.
The wing I understand but the lower half that must of been a custom job.
The car is absolutely gorgeous. Best of luck with it.

And yes, Hendrick's had this car listed on Ebay earlier this past year.
Between your's and Jared's car, I would say that these are two of the nicest modified cars.

Thanks for sharing your pictures, nice to see that the GT3 is well loved and tracked!

First of all, thanks for the props. Secondly, you are correct...that intake is an actual Carrera Cup car intake. Installing the Cup intake was apparantly no big deal. The big deal involved relocating the stock MAF sensor to integrate with the CUP intake. That indeed was a custom job that was handled skillfully by Synergy Racing.

Here are a few more pictures for you to examine:

Anytime a car is mentioned that is in the same league as Jared's, that is an achievement! Appreciate it.

This car was definitely built to be tracked, and doing anything less would be the type of crime that would be punishable by a caning in Singapore!
