GT2 body kit conversion

Did anyone convert to Gt2 body kit?

If yes which company sells a GT2 body kit?

Couple i know did. And it's a pain in the @ss to do it. Cuz the front radiater vents are diffrent. Therefore, You'd have to do some dirty work to make it fit. Plus, It's not feasable to spend roughly 10k on an OEM kit.
More people does front vents and GT2 side skirts. It's much more feasable IMHO.

And you could find the kit either in your local dealer or suncoastparts.com

I had a friend install the GT2 rear bumper so it would look better with my round exhaust pipes.

I can post some pics if you're interested.

i think the oem kit is roughly 5k not 10k . before i got a gt2 i had done this to my 07 tt. also many after market companys make gt2 bumpers for a fraction of the oem cost with decent fitment.

There is no OEM "kit." You'll have to piece together the pieces...front bumper, radiators, (there is a trick to make them fit 997TT radiators, but I can not elaborate,) side skirts, front bumper lip, rear bumper, valence, wing, wing insert, PIWIS shutoff of wing actuators.

The decklid and carbon/kevlar wing retails >$7900 alone from Suncoast.
