  • The GT3 spoiler is on! The decals are on and the roof antenna is gone!! In this video we take a tour around the 911 to see how this next step in my 997’s exterior transformation has come together. Check it out!!
    My GT3 wing was produced by designer Olivier Jacquemond who has been crafting high end after market parts for Porsches for over 20 years. Check out his range of all different Porsche body kits and accessories: www.jacquemond-...
    I also couldn’t have done this without the bodywork magicians at LaMettry’s of Chanhassen MN, Brandon and Mike! Thanks guys you both went above and beyond!! www.lamettrys.com
    My decals are from Renndecals. They have an epic range of decals for all generations and models of Porsche in all different colors and combinations: renndecals.com

    Well done! Car looks really clean, aerial delete was a must and side and roof stripe work really well - nice one 👍. As you know, my preference is the 911 emblem in black and definitely continue the stripe under the black emblem. The yellow “Porsche” although it will be unique is probably a little too “matchy” in my opinion. Oh, and maybe add some twin exhaust tips from dansk ... would look great with the wing! 😉

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      Thanks Michael!! Dansk exhaust tips?? Interesting! I’ll check them out immediately!! I have 5 votes for chrome, 3 for black and 3 for yellow..... and I’m still completely undecided. Haha. 😆🤦🏼‍♂️

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Michael... what do you think about these two options from Dansk...? Matt Black (www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod136941/Exhaust-Tail-Pipes-in-Matt-Satin-Black-DesignTek-for-Porsche-997/) or Carbon Fiber (www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod136004/Exhaust-Deluxe-Quad-Style-Tail-Pipe-Carbon-Fibre-Porsche-9971-Carrera/)

    • @K1dPhresh1
      @K1dPhresh1 6 років тому +2

      Auto Amateur you didn’t ask me but I’ll answer anyhow.... I think the matte black look better. Then you can put the black “911” on the rest of the stripe like I mentioned in my other comment. I feel if you add carbon fiber in one place, you have to strategically place it elsewhere on/in the car. All this of course is just my $0.02.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Your opinion counts! :) It's funny what you say about the carbon fiber. I thought to myself that if I start I might have to continue and won't be able to stop...!

    • @K1dPhresh1
      @K1dPhresh1 6 років тому +1

      Auto Amateur agreed. Carbon is beautiful, but pricey. It’s best when done in just the right amount. I do believe there can be too much CF (aesthetically speaking) if left unpainted.

    I really enjoyed your video of applying the PORSCHE logo on the back so I look forward to another. 😊
    The side decal looks great so my vote is for yellow on the back.

    I think what you've done looks great and whatever you want to do on the back. be it bare or badged, it should come out well. I have a 2010 Cayman S and what I did was to remove the chrome lettering and install black lettering on the hatch. I also installed the 987 numerals (Porsche Script) centered on the upper portion of the rear bumper cover and hand painted them red . My Cayman is black like your 997 Carrera 911. I think the 997 & 987 are some of the finest examples since the 964 air cooled 911.

  • @johnsmalls4856
    @johnsmalls4856 6 років тому +1

    Car looks amazing. One of the best transformations on UA-cam. I say yes to the yellow lettering and this car will be ready for the concourse. Good luck with the rest of the mods.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Woah! Thanks John!! That’s very kind, thanks so much! That’s 4 for chrome, 3 for black and now 1 (negative 4) for yellow! 👍🤔🤔🤔

  • @kianustarr
    @kianustarr 6 років тому +1

    I was glad to see the notification for your channel, the car looks absolutely amazing. You've made some brilliant styling decisions. As for the badge on the back, I'm suggesting the chrome numbers "911" rather than the letters. The blank space does look appealing but I agree that it needs something. The numbers would, in my opinion, flow with the sporty elegance of your car. Also, it would be great to see LED tail lights to further add to the upgraded look of the car. I'm thinking the non-smoke version. As always, thanks for taking us along with you on the journey!

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      Thanks Jae!! Hmm... LED tail lights? That’s an interesting suggestion!! I’ll do some research into them. Like the second gen 997 style?? Thanks for the kind words and for watching!! 🙌👍

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      Ps. That’s now 4 for chrome, 3 for black and zero (negative 5) for yellow. 👍 You’re the second to suggest the ‘911’ numbers. Cool idea!

    • @kianustarr
      @kianustarr 6 років тому +1

      Auto Amateur Yes, there's some nice options out there for the gen 2 style for your 997. I've been planning some mods for a Carrera 4S and came across them.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      Thanks!!! The great thing about the lights on a 911 is that they’re so easy to install. Plug and play!

  • @jodiemartinez3230
    @jodiemartinez3230 6 років тому +1

    Looks awesome! I ordered a chinese fibreglass wing for my 981 Cayman. My body shop couldn't get the paint right. Under light you could see ripples and waves and it would distort the reflection. Yours looks top notch.

  • @davidkasserra184
    @davidkasserra184 6 років тому +1

  • @mariodesmo
    @mariodesmo 6 років тому +1

    The car looks great! Nicely balanced front to rear with both wings installed. And the stripes look fantastic.
    I would go with the chrome PORSCHE lettering on the rear deck lid. You can't see any other yellow back there, so it will stand out because of that, IMHO. Either way, the car looks spectacular! Well done!

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Thanks mate!!! Appreciate it! One up for chrome, two for the black. Zero for the yellow so far. 😆🤦🏼‍♂️

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Thanks Rick!! I appreciate the feedback!! Thanks for watching. Chrome?? Cool! Ok... now 6 votes for chrome, 3 for black and 2 for yellow! 👍

  • @DavidJWarEagle
    @DavidJWarEagle 6 років тому +2

    The wing turned out great! Here’s my vote. My first choice would be the “Porsche” lettering but in a matte or satin black. My second choice would be “911” also in matte or satin black. If you went with “911,” then I would also extend the grey stripe down to the end of the deck lid like you did in the front.
    Are you also considering deleting the rear bumperettes? Or, perhaps a rear bumper swap? That might be good if/when you swap the tail lamps to the LED 997.2 version.
    Try not to run yourself too ragged with the new baby! Congratulations!

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Thanks David and nice suggestions!!!!!!! Black and chrome votes are neck and neck right now.

      I am looking at the rear bumper, GT3 style. It has cool little vents on the left and right and NOOOOOOOOOO flipping bumperettes!!! 🙌🏆

  • @ThePhilandPam
    @ThePhilandPam 6 років тому +1

    Now that is so nice, it looks really balanced now and love the stripe. I’m thinking silver Carrera with the stripe continued through to the end of the rear lid to match the front and the silver Carrera over the top. Love it and it’s a credit to you 👍

  • @MichaelBath

    Thanks for the shoutout 🙏.
    You have got me thinking of what I need to do next 🤔 short shifter and Bluetooth I think! Cheers

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      Absolutely!!! I gave you a cheeky shout out in the description below the video too. Haha. 🍻

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Bluetooth is a must these days I think. Safety and convenience. As for the short shifter... I’ve thought about too. I’ve heard lots of great things about the mod but the one thing I’ve heard that has put me off is this... if you have any issues gear shifting today, the short shift kit will amplify them. My shift between first and second, and from second to first, is a little clunky when the car is cold. I’m worried the short shift kit will make it worse. 🤔🤔 I need to find some time to figure out the solution to that first I think. Gear oil change maybe??

    • @MichaelBath
      @MichaelBath 6 років тому +1

      Yep, i have also been warned that the 997 Short Shifter is worse. I have same issue with 1st to 2nd. Need to be sure i guess, as not a super cheap modification. I was told it takes 3-4hrs to install.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      That sounds right and from what I can find on YT it might be a job I would be willing to attempt myself... maybe... 😆

    • @inver22wade3
      @inver22wade3 6 років тому +1

      Short shifter.. You are both correct to be concerned regarding the possibility the the reduction in resolution of the s/s kit aggravating any existing reluctance of the transmission to move smoothly between 1st and 2nd gears.I considered this but went ahead anyway. Points to be aware of to mitigate said issue:
      1.It can be a DYI job however make sure that cables are in exact same position after mods as before.
      2. Make sure kit has metal bearings instead of original "plastic" ones. Reduces play in the cage assembly.
      I have 997 2cs 2008 and have never regretted the upgrade.It enhances the driving experience no end!!

  • @svoodoo6303
    @svoodoo6303 6 років тому +2

    Man are you happy ? Be honest. I am not, I install all original gt3 wing, same as yours design but for 996, side skirts, front lip. After installation i sold my car ))) i will never do like that any more, nothing better than clean original looks.in same time car was looking fantastic.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Hey Sasha! Great to hear from you! I’m honestly very happy, I truly love how my car looks now. I’m also glad that all of these changes are 100% reversible. If I sell the car one day, the buyer can take it as it is or have the stock parts. Sorry to hear your experience wasn’t as positive!!

  • @WiredJunkie

    @y.t.928 6 років тому +1

    First of all congrats on the upgrades of the car. They look awesome! I was wondering when the video would come out but I am sure the new baby keeps most of your attention. My car is badge less and that's what I prefer but everyone is different, I love the stripes and if that was my car I would bring the stripes all the way down on the rear and leave the badge off. Now I did not hear you say anything on the next update??????? How about an exhaust, or a different rear bumper hint, hint. As always I enjoyed the videos keep them coming. I too love Michaels channel.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

  • @barefootdriver5152
    @barefootdriver5152 6 років тому +1

    Looks really great. You might consider the 991 generation Carrera emblem in stock chrome. It's smaller and I think modernizes the car a smidge.

    @713vinh 6 років тому +1

    Beautiful job on the car. I think you should leave the stripes as is and install the chrome Carerra in the back lid. It makes it look more original which is what you want to achieve.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      Thanks Vincent! Thanks!!! Ok... that’s now 3 for chrome, 3 for black and zero (negative 5) for yellow! 👍

  • @omarcabrera3348
    @omarcabrera3348 6 років тому +1

    Great Job. It was worth the wait. Your 997 looks amazing! In regards to the emblems, I would have to give some thought. The one thing I can say for sure is NOT to use the yellow lettering... it would be to much yellow. And black on black? Not sure. However, the original Carrera emblem in the gray might work... Chrome might also be to much.. Not sure to be honest.
    I might go with a gloss black for my 997, but it’s Silver with Black Gloss Wheels.
    I look forward to your next video.

  • @head911

    Grey Carrera with a yellow s badge I reckon I know your gunna say well it’s not a Carrera s but it’s not a GT3 either so you might as well mix it up even more lol anyhow looks great I must say I did change me 996 to a GT2 deck lid but now having the 997 I kinda like the original rear spoiler each to their own 👍🏻

  • @K1dPhresh1
    @K1dPhresh1 6 років тому +2

    Aaaaaaaawwwwwwww YEAH!!! Finally!! I was beginning to get worried we’d never hear from you again! 911 looks amazing!!! The spoiler is fantastic!! Love it!! The decals are awesome as well. I did question why they stopped where they did, but you explained that. I feel the front could be “rounded off” on the bumper or something, but it isn’t purist Porsche so, scratch that. As for the emblem, I think that yellow may be too much. Could be just because it was on a yellow background as well. Have you considered completing the strip in the back and the just putting “911” on the rear, in the stripe? I think that would work in black and even yellow, since it’s just 3 characters. I also think the tail emblem should complement the exhaust tips, so a black emblem should go with black exhaust tips, chrome with chrome. Yellow could go with either, I suppose. Things to think about and you about with. Either way, good job!!

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому

      Hahaha. Yeah mate, it has been a slow roll to get here but I’m so happy with the way it’s all turned out. So what do you think I do with the emblems on the back? Which emblem and what color??

    • @K1dPhresh1
      @K1dPhresh1 6 років тому +1

      Auto Amateur stepped away to research 911 striping for a second and came back to edit my first comment with my thoughts.

    • @K1dPhresh1
      @K1dPhresh1 6 років тому +1

      Auto Amateur if and when you do new wheels, I think they should be the color of the grey stripe or a tad lighter. That would tie it all together. Or yellow!!! ; )

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  6 років тому +1

      Aha!! Nice one. I like the idea of the black emblem. I think that would look really smooth, but maybe only with the decal brought down over the rear of the deck lid. The best thing about the decals and emblems of course is that they’re so easy to install and easy to remove if they don’t look good. I might experiment a bit!

    • @AutoAmateur

    • @AutoAmateur

  • @scottweber3077
    @scottweber3077 5 років тому +1

    if you haven't done so, so far paint math the wheels to the grey decal. I think it would be a great compliment to the other grey and yellow accents.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  5 років тому

      Thanks! I’m in the process of getting some 19in OEM lobsters and I’ll be getting them finished. I was thinking either a perfect match to the grey decals, or a darker gun metal sort of color. What do you think?

    • @scottweber3077
      @scottweber3077 5 років тому +1

      for consistency I'd go with the color of the decals, but gun metal always looks good.

    • @scottweber3077
      @scottweber3077 5 років тому +1

      I'd also add I think for the Porsche Badge, in the rear going with a dry carbon fiber would look amazing with the black. It would be a subtle contrast

    @royramdeen8864 6 років тому +1

    Looks awesome. Man that wing was a lot of work, now i am wondering what the Darius would look like, as it is subtle and a much easier install. I personally find the wing a little overpowering and takes away from the classic look, but everyone likes the wing. Decals came out well, the strip is perfect, anymore and i think it becomes too much. Badging basic "Carrera" logo in the script brushed silver. May not see the black since the car is already black. All looks awesome and by your enthusiasm, you are happy. Enjoy..

  • @f457yam
    @f457yam 5 років тому +1

    how do you deactivate the original pop up spoiler, ie mechanism & wiring & i heard also that a warning light comes on the dash saying that something is wrong once you mess about with the wires. how do you get rid of that message in the info on the dash? great car btw, im getting lots of inspiration for my c2s form yours. i think i will be going for the duck tail though.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  5 років тому +1

      All of the mechanism for the original spoiler is self-contained within the spoiler itself. All you need to do is unplug the wiring harness and remove the two hinges, then the whole spoiler comes off. You’re right about the message in the dash. When you go above 75 mph you get an error message that says the spoiler hasn’t deployed. Your local Porsche dealer can turn that off for you, or you can do it yourself if you have one of the auto software test apps on your laptop and plug for under the dash. I would just ask your dealer to turn the error message off. It’s just a configuration setting that tells your car that you don’t have an automatic spoiler installed. Takes 2 mins. Good luck and thanks for watching!!

      Haha. Nah, not really. I know more Porsche drivers and car enthusiasts who say “Porsch” instead of “Porsch-e”. It’s like Nike vs. Nike-ee, my friends and I growing up in the UK always said Nike without the “ee” because we didn’t know any better. I still feel weird saying Nike-ee. I can’t seem to break the Porsch no-e habit. 😆🤦🏼‍♂️ Thanks for watching and for commenting!! 🙌👍

      You can either have Porsche quickly reprogram the software for you with their PIWIS tool, or there is a quick and dirty solution that involves splices a couple of the wires together to the wiring harness that connects to the old light bar.

      I ended up reusing most of the hardware from my factory deck-lid on the new GT3 spoiler actually, so yes - you're quite right. I ended up returning most of the parts I bought. My original plan was to make going back to factory as easy as possible, but ultimately I loved the new wing so much I didn't need to worry.

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  5 років тому +1

      It doesn’t. When you get a fixed wing spoiler like the one I have, you need to switch off the active spoiler setting and associated warning light by using the Porsche programmer tool. My friend did it for me in 5 mins flat, it’s super easy. You can always turn it back on again if you go back to your stock wing later.

      Great question! Exhaust, yes. Either the gundo-hack or the FabSpeed muffler deletes. I’m also considering moving from my stock 18in rims to 19in rims. Either the Porsche lobster claws like Michael Bath has on his 997, or something similar to the GT3 style but not center locking. I might also check out the GT3 style rear bumper to complete the Aerokit and fiiiiiinally get rid of the bumperettes (which I’ve never liked, not even on the old school 911s). What kind of exhaust would you consider??
