I think it goes well with the GT2 flares.

enjoy...this may confuse a few

Please say this is photo shop! I LOVED the way your car looked before. I know how it can fell when you haven’t done anything to the car in a bit, but If you needed a change you could have put the GT2 front lip. Techart even, GT2 EVO??? but not that one. Sorry for voicing how I feel, but I don’t like it at all. No disrespect.

A couple more with slightly better focus:

A "functional" air outlet a la EVO ?


This one will scare the kids

Thanks for those taking the trouble to respond

My current PU/S splitter needs a respray so I thought it would be "fun" to put something else on, didn't expect to have to chop the bloody aluminium bumper bar up tho' ..... I am a bit undecided on the look, it will need some time and maybe a few more insults before I can decide if I like it....

My first impression was it looks a bit "Stroseky" but I'm not sure if this is good or bad ?

the bottom of the spoiler is much higher off the ground than the turbo S lip so I suspect it will give a more lift at 120+mph speeds. The manufacturer claims it was developed using a "virtual windtunnel" -I'm such a mug, I'll believe anything

Keep the feedback coming, good or bad (don't worry it IS reversable)

Don't like the 997 bumper even on a 997. Especially the parking lights. Each to his own. Enjoy.

Glad you're giving it a try. I brought up the 7GT3 front on the 933TT idea previously and got flamed.May be RT12 ?

I like the fact that you have tried something different. It seems that any front bumpers that are out of the ordinary, people in the 993 world have a hard time excepting them. Probably cause it drastically changes the way your car looks. Your pictures are very dark and don't show all of the detail of the (997 ?) style bumper. I don't dislike it but a Turbo S, Ruf, or GT2 would be an improvement IMO. Kudos for sharing it with us.

If I bought a 997TT, the first mod I would do is put on a GT3 front bumper.
