997.1 gt3 to 997.1 gt3rs wide body conversion help

I am considering, but want to understand how much of an undertaking it is to go from narrow to wide body on my 7.1 gt3 all oem parts save for the wheels which I will run champion rg5s.

New rs euro rear bumper

New rear quarter panels (likely not specific to rs)

Sundry bolts and little bits

What am I missing? It looks like the rear haunches are rather big metal units as the actual metal itself extends all the way to the front windshield?

Would love to hear from someone who's done this. I know of one example by a gmg customer.

Many thx.

I've been waiting for someone to start on e of these projects! Since I have been waiting for so long, I've had half a mind to sell off my early RSR project and do one of these myself

Here is a link to race body parts if that is the direction that you decide to go.
