First pictures of US spec 991
Here are pictures of the US spec Cabriolet from the Detroit Auto Show. I still haven't seen any good pictures of the US spec Coupe.

I think that's a .2 997, not a 991.

It doesn't appear to be letting me change the title, possibly due to my status as "new user." Thanks for the tip, though. I'm surprised that it's so difficult to find pictures of the US spec. 991. Does anyone have real pictures of the front and rear of the US 991? From the Detroit Auto Show pictures of the cabrio, it looks like the warts in back may be gone.

Bumperettes are finally gone!!!! They were an unfortunate requirement from the DOT for the 997 to pass crash testing. I'm glad that solid German engineering has found a way to pass the crash tests and clean up the car.

But just wait until you get hit in back. Then you'll wish that you had them!
The back end difference is simply the width of the rear plate cutout.
Here's a German spec car to compare to the earlier pics:

Why Porsche didn't make changes, I don't know. There is a fairly substantial ride height difference in NA Spec VW MkV GTI/Rabbits between the 07 and 08 model years that reflect the change in the law.
