I'm a GT3 owner now! (Lots of LARGE photos) (Part 1)

Hey Gang,

After months of searching and trying to decide between a TT and a GT3 I finally found this car. Initially I was really leaning towards a TT and honestly would have been happy with either. I found plenty of 03-05 TTs but they were all either black or some shade of grey. Guards Red and Speed Yellow were virtually impossible to find. I found this one at a dealer in Houston and had it shipped up.

Some details:

Options (Factory)
-Cruise Control
-Tequipment Roll Bar
-Litronic Headlights
-Instrument Dials in Speed Yellow
-Rear Console painted in Speed Yellow
-Front Center Console painted in Speed Yellow
-Instrument Surround painted in Speed Yellow
-Seatbelt Outlets painted in Speed Yellow
-Speed Yellow Seat Belts
-Aluminum Door Sills with GT3 Logo
-Storage Bin Lid with GT3 Logo
-Leather Seats
-Porsche Crest in Headrest
-Seats Stitched in Speed Yellow
-Air Conditioning
-HiFi Sound System

Modifications
-Fabspeed MAXFLO Mufflers
-Cargraphics Dual Exhaust Tips
-Aluminum Door Pulls and Map Pocket Covers (on order)
-Schnell Aluminum Pedals
-Tinted Rear Window
-Clear Side Markers
-Stone Guard
-Silvered Turn Signal Bulbs (Front and Rear)
-Bumper/Door Plugs
-Custom Mats (Lloyd’s) (on order)

Stunning! My 1st mod advice is get a new Steering wheel (only part of the car that doesn't look new), Maybe the GT3RS one like the the one's on carnewal.com or Something thicker liek a RUF,FVD, or Techart bad boy!

Hey DJ,

OK, I'll look into one of those. Will I lose the air bag as a result?

Thanks!

"Where is the front lip?"

Hey Luis,

I don't really know. The previous owner didn't send it with the car. Either he took it off or a curb jumped up and snatched it off.

The dealer wants $240 for a new one. If I decide to track the car I'll pick one up then.

Thanks!

There is one on e-bay right now. Tracking or not, the GT3 needs the front lip to be complete.

Beautiful car, great find. I love the pipes on the sides of the rear bumper.
Cheers.

Hey Luis,

OK, I just put in a bid for the one on eBay. I bid within $30 of what I can get it at the dealer.

Someone will probably believe his blurb about it being a $500 part and snipe me. Ha! ha!

Thanks!
