What's interesting is that if you look at the press photos, they appear to be stick on fenders.

And then in a real world photo, they're part of the fender

Porsche must have realized that with the cost of the GT2 RS being as it is, it'd serve them well to make those fenders look "cleaner." I applaud them for making this change.

I have seen the blended fenders in a few pics. But, the bumper part is still a stick-on.

Atomic- the "cleaner" fender look, I believe, IS the 6800 dollar option. That is what the difference is. Plus some weight savings?

Just looked closer...and you're right, Wyatt...

Leave it to Porsche to rape us and leave our wallets for dead. I thought it was standard on the GT2 RS and optional on the GT3 RS. Guess not.
