Bader's 991 GT3 Build Thread.
Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well, a quick introduction I just got my 991 GT3 last week, so far in love with the car. Its my 1st Porsche, was between this and a BMW M6 Gran Coupe. In my country of Saudi Arabia, the dealer never ordered any GT3's. Only Carrera S/4S, & Tubros. Only GT3's in the country are the ones ordered by the clients themselves. So its safe to say the GT3 is rare in Saudi, I couldn't find any for sale, and the dealer couldn't order me any so I got one from Dubai.
Here are the plans for the car:
-Wheels to be painted gloss black.
-Car to be fully wrapped in another color.
-Carbon bits for the interior & exterior.
-Centerlock aftermarket forged wheels (recommend a style)
-Exhaust ( still deciding on which to get, recommendations?)
Before we go into the photos, I'd like to share pictures of my last project car. my 2008 Audi S5, this was my car when I was in the states. It had a complete makeover done a few times as seen below.
& now we move on to the GT3, got a few questions before we move onto the photos.
-I have PCM, plugged my iphone 6 via bluetooth for calls. How come when I watch a video or get a text message on my phone I cant hear any sound? how can this be fixed?
-Dealer says to fill oil the car needs to be there for a full day, what oil can I use to fill up the car and how much do I put in if my oil level is on minimum?
-can anyone direct me into a direction where I can get an aftermarket rear view camera/ sensors?
& now finally the photos.
Will keep the thread updated.
Kind Regards,
Bader

First of all, congrats on the new car! great choice over the m6 GC. You should get in touch with by-design they have done more than one gt3 rear view cam install. for exhaust akra or ipe is my choice. Cant wait to see where this project ends with.

so this happened....
while under progress:
final product (metallic gloss blue wrap with door jams, gloss black wheels, light tint)
also I might of went a bit overboard ( the 21" rears and gold finish have been changed to 20" and gloss black)
Will keep you guys posted whenever I have updates.

and heres the 3 month update lol. Professional pics of the metallic gloss blue wrap. Car also had wheels done in gloss black and some light tint.
car will be shipped in a few weeks to get the akrapovic, hre wheels, tech art steering wheel, rear view camera, tire stickers, and carbon bits installed. Will do another proper video/ photo shoot after that is done.
