That was a lot of effort put in on your part. Also, what is that a 996 GT3? Beautiful car do you track the 996? Only word of advice I have is to take off the door handles, door mouldings, fender moulding, side view mirros, and belt mouldings. The paint may flake back. Overall man that is good stuff

thanks man, its actually a '03 996 twin turbo. my dad clipped a deer on the race track and it cracked the front bumper so he got a GT-2 bumper. he's making about 460 to the wheels, and is AWD w/ just a chip. still stock exhuast and intake

That GT-2 bumper really sets the 996 off. Does your dad track it most of the time? That is a really fun car to drive.

he used to run it alot, now he just runs it at VIR and we auto-x it. He usually tracks his '93 RS America at all the other tracks though
