Current pix of the GT3 before RAUH-WELT banners and new graphics applied..... Wanted to see what the car would look like as a virgin replica cup car. 
Car is forever changing!!!!!
BIG THANX to GUS F (Gustavo for letting these BBS E88 find a new home) and to RAUL @ FLAT6 MOTORWORKS in Miami for helping and shipping with the transaction!!!!!!
@LOPRO: Here are the BBS E88 on the car & the CUP WING is 58" for 997.1

Keep it just like that, it's a thing of beauty on the street.

This is a Stunning progress. U got great great taste man. I love your concept of "how-not-to-let-the-mod-stop". LOL cuz same to me, the mod bugs are with me until the last day of my life. KEEP IT GOING BUD, enjoy your super super nicely modded GT3 in good health.

The old wheels and wing looked way better in my eyes. The new wing looks like something a cheap ricer would have on it due to the ugly unfinished alum plates.
The BBS wheels I also find gross... But like you said, it's your car, its your taste.
A set of HRE dished P40 or P41's would look absolutely dreamy in a nice offset color.
BBS wheels just look old and dated. (See floral print bell bottoms)

You're a great friend here and on all the other message forums.
Yeah, can't stop modding.....gotta change it up to keep the fire going and find the right mods to suit my taste.
Thanx for the support and thank you for the good health comment!!!!
BTW - You have a beautiful TT SMURF.....Very envious of it!!!!!

Your comments gave me a good laugh too.
The old look of the white/red was cool, but after awhile.... I thought it was too redundant on the RS graphics.
The new look of virgin white is kinda boring for me, but its a cleaaaaan look for now until the graphics come on.
The wing is either you love it or hate it. The uprights were actually painted black from factory, but I decided to take the paint through bead blasting and getting the uprights brushed to look like the uprights of the 997.2 cup uprights.
HREs are cool wheels and luv'em, but the BBS is a timeless design and it never gets old (IMHO)
But thank you for your reply.
Thanx GURU

spoken like a true player. Way to go J bigelow. You know how to take the good with the bad and use it to your advantage. Respect. Good luck with the wrap. I cant wait to see it. Should be even better. Best part about a wrap is you can always change it up when you get bored.
Good for you J

i still dislike the rear wing, but with those BBS wheels and the graphics delete, the whole car looks much, much better. it really comes together, i guess because it does look more like a cup car.
i respect that you have the right to do whatever you want with your car and your hard-earned cash, but if you passed me on the street i would much enjoy seeing the car without any graphics. clean is the way to go.
but if you are going to put on graphics anyway, i'm still kind of interested in how it comes out.
