Great pictures Easy ... Rep for you ...

How hard/easy is the required mod to fit the turbo bumper?

Cheers

The flares I purchased from Suncoast.

The front flares that attach to the bumper can be heat treated and formed. A skilled bodyshop can do it.

Yes, GT2 wing:

First off you need to get the GT2RS fender flares. The GT3RS flares run a different length and won't reach to the bottom end of the front bumper on the turbo.

Secondly, the flare piece that attaches to the front turbo bumper needs to be reformed to fit the contour of the turbo bumper properly.

H&R's 7mm spacers on the front should cure the offset issue.

Here's some pics of mine:




Stunning car! Curious how you purchased the 2RS flares? I see on suncoast they only offer the 3RS flares or the 2Full carbon fender...

Hi, yes I bought my set from Suncoast. However that was about an year ago? Not sure why it wouldn't show up on their site. Perhaps give them a call?
