go check ur car i don't think ur car has the center radiator as regular C2s don't. Targa & GT3 has it and no mod required. to do it right for ur car u'll need a different grill which block the canter part. this one will still work though.

IS this the factory GT3 RS white? Paint code 900 or something?
if so, I can tell you from experience that it is NOT the same as the US spec gt3...
I had gone through the experience of putting it next to my car...and its not the same..

fONGSTER,
understand ur concern & i did some work on this. here is what i found:
Porsche uses many white through out the years. there are Glacier white 3AU/3AT, Biarritz White 9A2/9A3 and Carrara white B9A on the 996 era. according to u ur car is BH8A and the RS is 900. both numbers are not listed on the Porsche system therefore i can not tell which color u have. i'd guess u have the Carrara white B9A since all the GT3 comes in that color if u do a search under 996 GT3/USA in Porsche PET system. however, if u run the search under 996 GT3/ROW u'll see the Biarritz white 9A3 is listed as well as Carrara white B9A. therefore if u say the 2 don't match one major possiblity will be one being Carrara white another being Biarritz. for all that being said, i'd prefer a local customer to test fit it to see if there is indeed a difference; not to mention white is not a easy color to match 100% due to aging & material differences. luckily we have a Carrara white 996 in the shop today so we can put the 2 parts side by side to see if there's any difference. IMO they're pretty dang close which u can't really judge them in the picture. this picture is just showing we actually did the comparsion. very interesting topic indeed...

Lucent,
when we put the bumper in front of my car..it was obvious..
the Carrera white on the US Spec GT3s were more "yellow" while the GT3 RS ones are more "bluish" white.
I too really hope that they would match up...cuz if they do, I would buy one!
If you dont mind, can you PM me a price? I am still keen in getting one.

Hey Arling -
I just got a call from Ed (fasteddie) - he's trying with everything that he's got to reply to this thread, but can't get through! (technical issues) You have PM - give him a call or e-mail, ok?
I can heard the money flying out of his wallet right now....
