I just got a 2002 Carerra and am super excited about it.
Despite having 103K miles on the chassis, it has a 30K factory replacement transmission, and a 20K factory replacement engine, X74 suspension, GHL mufflers, GT3 control arms, deep sump, skid plate, DAS Sport rollbar, recaro racing seats, Getty GT3 RS wing, GT3/aero sideskirts/bumper, plus a bunch of other nice goodies. It also included 3 sets of rims, and the stock seats too.
I'm returning it to street trim and am looking forward to using it for a daily driver and DE car.
This is going to be fun!
Looks like the 2000 may need to find a new home this spring. I've got a new toy!
Yeah, at first I thought it might be a little bold for me, but it came with the stock motorized spoiler decklid too, so I can swap them around easily. Now that it is in my garage, it doesn't seem quite as "in your face". It definitely gives the car an aggressive look though. I can't wait for spring!
Ha,
I am considering to put the PORSCHE lettering, then 911 below on mine.
The main thing I am trying to decide on is what color I want. Silver, black or black/red combo
Thanks all.
I'm torn between replacing the badge and leaving it badge-less. I think I'm leaning toward badge-less for now.
The stock lid on both this car and my 2000 had black carerra script lettering, and I'm 99.9% sure they are both original equipment. If I put a badge on this GT3 RS style lid, I'd go with the black lettering.
I'm am surprised at all the positive comments on wing. I figured you would shred it apart. Now I'm feeling better about leaving it on the car.
The rear badge on the 997 is silver so you can't go wrong with black or silver. I personally do not like the big tail, not even the ones from the aero kit or turbo. I love the looks of the stock deck lid with the retractable pop up tail.
I don't think its too bad, swap the wheels for originals and install MK2 side skirts and its all factory.
Is there a definitive answer on whether MK1 side skirts were factory installed or available on MK2 cars?
OP's car has MK1 GT3/AeroKit I side skirts but is a MK2 2002.
