So that bumper on your yellow car is a stock, standard MK2?
Yes, but you also have to change out the aluminum bumper under the skin to work with the different style bumperettes. In addition, I needed to get MK2 exhaust tips which are bit longer but everything else I just used what I had before. I think it just brings the rear together real nice.
Here is another angle....I am trying to find a rear/side shot that shows the flow of the rockers to the rear bumper...really integrates nicely...I think its actually better than the Mk2 Aero rockers.
Hard to beat the clean pure lines of the narrow body C2, unfussy, unembellished and classic.
And I will never understand why people try to hide the fact that it's a 996 by putting headlight covers on to apologise for the characterful lights of both the.1 and.2. Be proud of your car, not embarrassed for it to be seen for what it is...I removed the ones on mine within hours of owning it.
As I former owner of a 996 C4S, it's still the one that gets my vote. It has the sexy wide hips of the turbo, but clean lines with the smooth rear fenders and the lack of a rear wing. In my opinion, the red reflector strip looks outstanding, and the way it connects the tail lights is a great tribute to the air-cooled cars. The red reflector strip looks completely out of place on the newer cars.
A close second for me is a MK I aero car. There's something about the simplicity combined with the mild aggression offered by the aerokit that really appeals to me.
Any of the widebody cars. The narrow body cars look good in their own way, especially the GT3. Although lately I have found myself oddly attracted to the early narrowbody 996 carreras.
