2008 997GT3 comes in for a SharkWerks Snack!
This super-clean white 2008 997 GT3 came into us with under 5K miles on it. The new owner decided to have the SharkWerks exhaust installed along with our optional Titanium Tips. To make the car easier to drive on the street and navigating those steep driveways we also installed the TechArt noselift system.

In she comes with a stash of other GT3s....


And on the lift she goes...


First port of call is the SharkWerks exhaust:


With the bumper back on we also installed the SharkWerks titanium tips:


The finished results...



Stock suspension soon to be removed:


Assembly of the TechArt noselift...



And installed:


Over to the front area and wiring the pump, controller etc..


Fully installed:


A video demo:

Over to the interior and the RSS Roll bar is installed (powder-coated in white):





Ready for a test drive...


Ready to go home:

Thanks and it's only about 8 pounds or so of extra gear. Labor wise you have to remove the front and rear suspension so it's a full day's work.

Why does the rear suspension have to come off too? Is it just a full suspension system?

Will the nose go back down after some driving or do you have to come to a complete stop to bring it back down

You bet. It goes down if you forget automatically at 36mph....

He Aus... well the springs are changed in front so the rears are done also to match.

It goes up an extra inch. It's a hydraulic system vs pneumatic....
