I have to say Bill that Dan is ahead you in the photochop skills competition..

I think the side holes will look cool. The ones I've planned for mine were very similar but I was also thinking of cutting that piece so the the back side is attached, bending the front in.
Nothing to lose because if its not good, just chop it off...

No argument there, PS is a mystery to me.

yes, I liked that idea too, but my bumper is too melted for that to work well

from the battleship thread



I'd really like to graft a set of these on

Yep, the top is exactly what I was thinking.

I agree in the last image, would be great.

Well I'm still learning, my wife is the real photoshop talent at our house. I took a stab grafting the RS vents to the sides to see how it looked.

That's a nice clean look, if I was keeping my 993 RS Inspired Track Car I would certainly perform that mod.

Your wife is a genius, unfortunately the melted part of my bumper would need to be retained for this to work. To bad GT Tek decided to put a GT3 type 993 rear bumper on hold and a new one is ridiculously expensive.

Thanks for all the help!!

Nice work Dan!

I personally like the opening more on the side as shown in the pic of that grey bumper.
Not because it's less work but to me the location works better visually. I think the RS location would be better aerodynamically but visually it's not so good IMO, it should be taller in order for it to look good.

P.S. Bill, interested in this?
