Help me identify this 911

I saw this 911 on the road back in December outside of Nashville, TN. The car had a dealer plate and was traveling at a high rate. Since I could never get in front of it, I could not get a look at the headlights, which for me is the easiest way to identify a Cayman or 997. Help me fill in the details.

997? Are the flares and lower body molding stock? How about the wheels and brakes? I have Brembo GT's on my 993 and these brakes almost look bigger. I believe that mine are either 14" or 15" upfront.

The GT2 has vents before the rear wheels.

Are those tail lights 996 or 997?

Looks like a modified 997, not a GT3.

Here is a GT3:

Whatever it is, it does not look like a factory or dealer optioned mod. Looks home-brewed.

Yep, I agree. To me that looks like a 997 with some kind of body kit.
