Sweet 997GT2 Project @ SharkWerks
Thought I'd end the week by showing you a nifty White 997GT2 which came by for some surgery. On tap was a black RSS roll bar, Schroth Harnesses, front screen kit and a fire extinguisher kit....
Out come the CF GT2 sport seats (40 pounds each btw).
The RSS roll bar (powder coated black) fits in very nicely and allows for full reclining of these sport seats as well.
Next up were the 6-point Schroth harness restraints.
Then it was on to the screen kit and FE Kit... except Cargraphic doesn't make a screen kit and we don't make an FE kit for those seats (yet)
The customer wanted to protect his radiators for track duty just like we do on all the GT3 bumpers, however Cargraphic doesn't make any screen kits so James had to DIY it (and enjoy the finger cuts)... There's a lot more nooks and crannies to the GT2 screens but it came out ok in the end
Off with the bumper... one part I wished I'd photo'd is the weird radiator support beam which is made out of CF. There's one piece of CF for some reason there and I'm wondering if they had left-overs from the CGT?
Here's James cutting/fitting (his fingers) etc..
After paint...
And now installed...
Our 996GT3 Fire Extinguisher seats really only works with those seats and the 997GT3 seats (with minor mods) but James re-worked one for these new sport seats
Customer went with black...
There she is decked out in light weight Champion wheels ready for the track

Thanks mucho! Oh we hated every minute of it:P Very nice owner and car. They went hand-in-hand
No worries and although I felt bad for James' fingers (worse than paper cuts) he did a nice job with it... Maybe we'll make more or something.
Our pleasure and there's always more um... power too hehe:P
Thanks N2it, good to see you and hopefully we'll tart yours up a bit more next week eh:P At least we won't need to do more screens on those new GT3s heh!
Thanks Jack and it's funny because their openings keep on getting bigger so it's good to see them finally do it. It'll save a few destroyed radiators that's for sure!
Thanks Dan!
Thanks! It was my favorite car of the week/month for sure
