  • Our good customer Steve has tasked Fred with painting and installing a Porsche factory GT3 aero body kit on his '99 996 Carrera 2 with only 7,800 original miles. The old body panels will be removed and the new kit will be test fitted before they are painted. After the body kit is installed, the Porsche will be on display at a concourse show coming up in the next month and the body kit needs to have the paint finish match the factory paint exactly.

    LOL !!! "Didn't bring it yesterday because it was raining!!!" Yep, I'm also one of those porsche maniacs... Love it when Fred brings me back to reality with his sarcastic sense of humour... Great job Fred !

    Nothing beats OEM parts. Even if it’s from their Motorsport side. It’ll fit 100% all the time. 👍🏻

      Blending is the best way to match colors. Butt matches are never easy.

    Fred the keys man!!! The keys need a new home far away from the front of you're pants when your leaning over cars. The anxiety it gave me seeing those keys dangling off the front of your jeans with the fresh bumper and disassembling the original. Otherwise fantastic work guys

    I can't blame him for not taking out in the rain - that's the only reason I won't buy one here in the UK, it does tend to rain every now and then.
    Great job and it does look fantastic! 🙂

    I though it would include rear quarters. And thought dont cut it up its so clean. I thought the kit would have more parts.

    Why not sir the side skirt install? Did you need to drill and didn't want to scare the owner?

    I have a 99 C4 with a couple of cracks in the front bumper cover. I have alway liked the 996.2 look with the larger openings on the sides. I have seen 996.1 GT bumper cover that has the cutout for the extended front lights and am considering it. any suggestions on the various suppliers of good and poor products would be appreciated.

      I will speak to the owner of this car sometime over the weekend. He is the one that researched and found the parts. I will get back to you when I have some info for you.

    With the kit itself, how much did this total up to? Reason I ask is I have an eye on one with the same kit installed. Thanks in advance.

    • @UWrenchTV
      @UWrenchTV  7 місяців тому

      The OE kit from Porsche was close to 10k. That's just the kit no installation or paint.

    No offense man, I’m sure you’re great and all; but I’d never trust a so-called paint and body man that walks around the shop with a giant jangling ring of scratch hazards handing off his belt.
