@M3Inline6 have you taken the center grill section out? Always hated those two bumps on the sides of the center section but assume there may be radiator piping or similar behind them. Think its possible to make a center piece without them?

They remind me of the "bumperettes" on the rear of older Porsches, required to meet U.S. impact standards.
A thin horizontal bar isn’t enough to protect from an impact— you need some vertical support as well. (Note that this structure is present on the Standard Bumpers as well as the Sport Design Bumpers, where Porsche cleverly tried to hide it).
If anyone finds out what is behind those, please let us know (just form a curiosity perspective).

I always thought they were a part of the crash protection structure?

I believe the 992 crash bar sits higher than these behind the nose section and runs horizontally between the two 'frame rails' of the frunk assembly.

I think pricing will be fair and competitive, especially if we have a good list of people who want the lip. The GT3 deck lid badges are selling really well, so I’m hoping this does too.
I’m certain my designer/fabricator would be down for a redesign. I haven’t taken my front bumper off, but now you have me very curious. If there’s nothing behind those bumperettes, a redesign should be very easy to accomplish.
edit:
The Turbo S has two support rods in that exact location. I wonder if the regular Carrera’s have that as well.

I always darken them in pics because I hate the way they look

Now that you’ve brought it to my attention, I really want to see what he’ll come up with for that center section.

3. SA_992SMT
4. reddsektor (standard)
5. Ripper T
6. BlitzIS
7. adrianp89

I think once this thing is a go, I’ll get a Group Buy going.

Like others have mentioned, I am not a fan of the aero kit/ sport design painted "splitter", painted should have been an option

Added!
I think 991 GT3 front end is perfection as well. I want to get the design as close to that as possible.
