I think it takes away from the classic look of the 993tt. I think they got a little ghetto on the 997tt, trying too hard to make it look current. I like the reference of the Reeses peanut butter cup. I think you got to close to a 997tt, and a little rubbed off on your 993tt.

Euro turbo front bumper with a turbo s spoiler is the nicest front clip i have ever seen. JMHO something to consider.

Maybe better with clear corners (!!!)

Dunno - your car is one of the best looking on RL (no doubt) - this definitely knocks it down a few notches...

"Dont look at the mantlepiece when you're stoking the fire" comes to mind...

I don't mind the way it looks, but would of thought it would need/or you must have thought it to be functional/advantageous in some way for you to try it. More air to brakes/oil cooler?

Can't say i am a fan. I think the stock bumper cover with bumperettes removed or perhaps the turbo S eith the same mods work best JMHO of course.

I like the 997 GT2 front end, on a 997 GT2.

I personally like this modern look of the classic car. The only remark is the clear corners will look much better.

I like it especially since it can be reversed wothout much pain, what might be more interesting is the amount of airflow that it gets into the oil coolers and brakes, looks like it might help..

I would have prefered a one piece rubber lip under it rather than the 2 splitters ala RS though.

Did it need modifications to install to match the width with the GT2 flares?
