I don't know why it wouldn't DJ, center cooler and all. Same dimensions as a 997.1. I saw one on a .1 turbo, but don't recall a GT3 yet

I have yet to see one on a 997.1 GT3 and it's seems like a perfect mod, I will give the Ruf guys a shout next week.

I am 99% sure it does. Wasn't GK@Domani listing a 997 GT3 RUF for sale not long ago? Same bumper, but I doubt any modifications. Same side blinkers as other 997s...

That car is a full-on RUF hand-made with bored out 3.8L engine, etc, etc. It is an RGT, not a GT3 (although RUF does base the RGT off the GT3, it get full tear down and rebuild and RUF VIN). They are relatable because it is naturally aspirated. Not just a front bumper, unless I read your post wrong..

After thinking about this for a while DJ, I came to a new conclusion; absolutely.

GT3




RUF front cover



Having installed both on my car, GT3 cover and the RUF, there is virtually no difference in the hook up. A bit of modification is required; ex. you have to trim the front bumper reinforcement just a bit for the RUF, route the wires, etc... not a big deal at all.

My answer is YES, it will work perfectly, I don't know why more GT owners don't do it...

Probably because I am sure it costs a pretty penny, but it sure does look good
