Default Turbo Nose and Side Skirts

What do you guys think of the new skirts and turbo front bumper? I like it a lot better than the stock 996.

Please, no jokes about the suspension-- an X74 upgrade is my next mod.

Personally I would have gone for the GT2 style front bumper, may yet still.

Forcing some of the frontal airflow up and over the top seems like a damn good idea.

Thanks so much Kirby and OH996. WWest-- good thought; in fact, I thought about the GT2 bumper, but, in the end, liked the look of the turbo front end better.

The car is an '04.

Thanks Deputydog95. You and your speed yellow beauty, by the way, are what inspired me to do this.

I love the look of your car after you did the same. Thanks for posting your pics s few weeks ago. In fact, the contrast of your black turbo grills against the yellow bumper looks even better than my black on black, but I'm still very happy with the nose job. (My pics are poor quality-- the car actually looks a lot better in person.)

Not sure whether my body shop got rid of the ducts or not; never asked. (I'm not much of a do it yourself guy, so I may not even understand your question, my apologies). Thanks again.

Gary
