Default 993 Spars

I saw the Porsche Cayman spars that are now available

https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...-spars.htmland

and felt a little inspired. There are so many out there with pitted fog lights and the white background reflector never looked right to me. The US front bumpers also disappear. These may even shed a couple of pounds. What do you think?

Very cool idea but just does not look "correct" on these 993s.

Makes it look like a Panamera. But it is your car and your choice. If you think it looks cool, then I say go for it.

Not sure I would go for it, but I love creative thinking. I also think it would look better with clear corners.

Are you suggesting a product or one-off? I think it's an interesting direction.

I like the smoothness (maybe the same effect with just bumperette delete?). I don't appreciate the diamond pattern. The LEDs don't folow the bumper or the housing, look diagonal. If you are suggesting a product the background would be body color? I think the color of the LEDs would have to match the headlights.

Personally, I would buy this product but it would take some work in developing. Losing the bumpers would be a plus in my opinion without the need to fill in and repaint. The mesh pattern could match the one of the bottom grill, I have not really looked at it. The mod would be completely reversible like the Cayman.
