Lightbulb Cool Project of the Week: White 997 GT2
Thought I'd end the week by showing you a nifty White 997GT2 which came by for some surgery. On tap was a black RSS roll bar, Schroth Harnesses, front screen kit and a fire extinguisher kit....

Out come the CF GT2 sport seats (40 pounds each btw).


The RSS roll bar (powder coated black) fits in very nicely and allows for full reclining of these sport seats as well.


Next up were the 6-point Schroth harness restraints.


Then it was on to the screen kit and FE Kit... except Cargraphic doesn't make a screen kit and we don't make an FE kit for those seats (yet)

The customer wanted to protect his radiators for track duty just like we do on all the GT3 bumpers, however Cargraphic doesn't make any screen kits so James had to DIY it (and enjoy the finger cuts)... There's a lot more nooks and crannies to the GT2 screens but it came out ok in the end

Off with the bumper... one part I wished I'd photo'd is the weird radiator support beam which is made out of CF. There's one piece of CF for some reason there and I'm wondering if they had left-overs from the CGT?

Here's James cutting/fitting (his fingers) etc..



After paint...

And now installed...

Our 996GT3 Fire Extinguisher seats really only works with those seats and the 997GT3 seats (with minor mods) but James re-worked one for these new sport seats

Customer went with black...


There she is decked out in light weight Champion wheels ready for the track

I remember when you said that the GT2 was the one car perfect from the factory and you wouldn't touch one with mods. That was about three months ago. I just knew you would not be able to resist making one better.

As always, great work! Let's trade jobs for a couple of months.
