It looks very nice.

When I got the GT2, I actually had the dealer swap my black rubber rear bumps with the painted ones from the GT2.

If you DD your car, it's better to have the rubber bumps, ugliness be damned.

Especially after I was tapped by a stupid woman in an SUV in the Turbo. The rubbers did their jobs and the bumper had no damage.

And then there's the office parking garage, where I worry every time I park my Audi because it has no rubber bumps like the GT2.

Hey DJ

Lead based paint was used more than 20 years ago. Auto industry uses petroleum based paint until recently. Porsche lead the way and start using water based paint which is friendlier to the environment but handle differently than the old petroleum based paint. That is why you need to make sure your body shop know how to spray them. Some people actually take classes to learn the art of water based paint

Great write up! What other components of the Euro GT3RS are lighter than US spec?

Glad you guys like how it turn out

Yes, some sort of mid section muffler by-pass is in the works. Stay tune

The most weight loss happen on the Euro aluminum brace which has cut out on the back and also no bumperettes - 8 lbs saving
