Unpainted plastic parts swapped for sleek carbon enhancements across the body.

1016 Industries, a tuning company based in Florida, has recently unveiled its comprehensive carbon fiber replacement program for the latest 992 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This program completely substitutes all plastic exterior elements with carbon fiber counterparts, resulting in a more exotic appearance and potentially reducing the vehicle’s weight.The company’s program features a variety of high-quality carbon fiber replacements, including front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear wing, and other smaller trims pieces. Each component is meticulously crafted to fit seamlessly onto the GT3 RS and enhance its overall performance and aesthetic.According to 1016 Industries, the carbon fiber replacements not only improve the car’s appearance but also offer functional benefits, such as improved aerodynamics and reduced weight. This can potentially enhance the car’s speed and handling capabilities.Additionally, the company also offers an optional clear matte finish for those wanting a more subtle and sophisticated look. The carbon fiber parts can also be customized with color accents, allowing owners to personalize their GT3 RS according to their preferences.The launch of this new carbon fiber replacement program comes at a perfect time, as the demand for lightweight and high-performance vehicles continues to rise. With its advanced and stylish offerings, 1016 Industries’ program is sure to attract many Porsche enthusiasts looking to

The appearance of the carbon fiber upgrade package was designed by 9design. It substitutes common side skirts, front lip, entire front bumper unit, wing mirror covers, rear wing end plates, front wheel arch vents, hood vents, and full rear bumper and diffuser.

At first glance, the alterations seem insignificant, however upon closer inspection, those who can distinguish the variances will be astounded by the tastefulness of this set.

It is fascinating to note that the more recent kit does not incorporate a complete carbon fiber hood, a wise decision given that Porsche offers this option through their Weissach package. As it may not have been apparent, 1016 Industries’ kit does not make any alterations to the car’s engine. However, we believe that the reduced weight from the carbon fiber components will complement the original 518-hp 4.0-liter flat-six engine quite effectively.

The exact amount of weight reduction has not been disclosed by the company; a thorough weight evaluation is still in progress, therefore we can expect to receive further details in the upcoming weeks. As a point of comparison, the 911 GT3 RS II weighs in at 3,268 pounds.

According to their recent announcement on social media, 1016 Industries has announced that their kits are now available for purchase. However, the exact cost has not yet been revealed by the company, but we anticipate it will be quite expensive. After all, the complete carbon fiber package for the 991 GT3 RS is priced at $39,415. Nevertheless, the options for customizing a GT3 RS without being too flashy are limited, making 1016 Industries’ understated approach a unique and welcomed aspect.

Simply add an upgraded exhaust and a tune to your car, and experience the joy of owning one of the most thrilling 911s in existence.
