Default Opinions on Body Trim

I am thinking about adding a front lip spoiler to my 96 C4S. I would probably go with a Turbo S or GT2 look. How would you complement that with additional trim moving towards the rear of car? What options- side skirts, rear valance, etc? I am not looking to change out the deck lid. Would it look disjointed if just the front spoiler?

Appreciate any opinions (w/pics if you have them).

Thanks,

G.

For a C4S I think the turbo S lip is perfect. It adds a bit more "edge" to the 993 front. The lip complements the widebody sideskirts nicely. Personally, I would not add anything else. I am thinking of adding the turbo s lip too, but I am hesitating because they seem hard to fit correctly and it's not easily reversible...

Not sure if you can actually add a GT2 frontlip on the widebody/turbo bumper. If I recall correctly, the GT2 had the narrowbody frontbumper.

Below a photo I found on the web which shows the side profile on the widebody:

Yep, needs to be the Turbo S on a widebody, GT2 was narrow body, but hey, anything can be made to fit!

There are a couple of third-party GT2-style front spoilers out there specifically for wide bodies including C4S. I had previously researched and verified.

Best,

I agree with outrun. I think the turboS lip 100% complements the side sills on a C2S/C4S/turbo 993. Note how the light catches the side sills and turboS spoiler the same way in outruns pic. I added one to mine. Nothing additional required imo.

How about a front splitter, balanced off in back with a big, whopping GT2 wing??
