In this multi-part tutorial we are going to be taking a close look at how to model a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Due to the nature of the car the tutorial encompasses a lot of techniques from both organic modeling and hard-body modeling styles. A particular emphasis is placed on creating good topology that will enable you to easily modify the shape but also to accurately create the details.

Part 03 of the this tutorial focuses on the back bumper and side of the car. This part also deals with tweaking some of the shape and proportions from the previous section.
