Looks great....one addition. Swap out the lettering in the back for black...contrast I think would go well!

I was split on that and waffled quite a bit. Ultimately I didn't want the GTS look and have been happy with the silver badging...so far

That is one beautiful car! I had a Carmine Red 2017 Panamera 4 and loved the colour. Many congrats!

No problem...to each their own. I did black on my 991.1 with lettering and eventually broke down and swapped out to the GTS rear engine cover as well cause I liked the contrast. But yours looks great as is. BTW what kind of side skirts are those..never seen them before...are they factory? Can you take some closer shots of them for detail? They look awesome on the car!

Before OEM at time of CPO purchase

Black lettering swap done

They are standard on a 4 model...here are a couple of pics. You can get them painted to the exterior color, but they take such abuse that I would never do that.

Default Rennline Grills

Some minor surgery this weekend. Took about 2 1/2 hours. I think you can do it faster, but I took my time. Very pleased with the results. Much better than the homemade ones on my old 911.1.

Major kudos to bkrantz for his excellent thread on bumper removal https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1023...tallation.html



Here's one with the grill installed but before bumper re-installed:


Finished product:

Great looking car. Love the wheels, but then I'm biased.

Jay-S, give us one more full front pic if you would. Also, who's grills did you go with?

Very nice...I'd agree and do the same. Too bad I am sure they won't fit on a non-wide body 991.1 C2...they look great! Really set off the car! Bravo!

They are Rennline grills. Really difficult to see from the full front which is fine with me. Not there for aesthetics.

And in the picture you also get to see the carnage of my front lip which is just a fact of life on my driveway

Thanks! I have one of those driveways as well, but have been successful with the (very) slow and angled approach. Will be interesting to see how my incoming T handles it.
