The aesthetic problem with something like this, is that the bumper will look high, as the black front spoiler will get lost in the background. From a distance, will look like a tall bumper. My take on it ...

Anybody know how to get those pesky "rivets" out of the front lip. Tried pulling them out with needle nose pliers - not so easy as it is hard to grab onto anything.

Yes, I aganoized for weeks before my order "locked". Sport PASM was absolutely the right decision. I have one very minor scrape on the bottom (not visible) now at just under 9K miles. At this rate, I'll need a replacement lower piece in 2025.

Within 2 weeks of replacing the lip (5 month old GTS), I entered the steep driveway of a gas station at an angle to avoid scraping the new lip. It scraped anyway! Iused the "Dr. ColorChip" kit to touch it up. It is close to perfect given my minimal skills. Try it!

Try squirting the area with soapy water. The tabs will slip out much easier. Also, that's pulling the tabs out without tools.

So figured out a fairly easy way to remove the rivet fasteners. An L pick would be useful, but any thin long pointed metal object will work. Simply push the stem completely up out of the fastener. Once that is done, the fastener can be removed easily by just pulling it out. Fasteners are not destroyed and can be reused, just the same, I used new ones.
Plasti dipped the aerokit and put it on -- as easy as lining up the tabs and snapping them in. Thanks to Larry for his write-up and pics.

Better than I thought it would look, but from the side view makes the bumper look really tall. Doesn't flow with the sides of the car.
What laser shifters do you have?

997 GT3 - good analogy.
Laser jammers are AntiLaser Priority - the best out there IMHO.
