Default New GT3 bumper and sideskirts installed!

Just wanted to post a couple pics (though not great lighting) of my GT3 bumper and sideskirts on my 01 996 Cab. It was pretty easy to put the new pieces on with thanks to Dell with the PDF directions he sent onto me!!

So that now completes my version of the aerokit as I did the wing at the end of last year!!!

I really like the grill covers but you mihgt experience hihger than usual temps with the restirictive airflow.

Just loose the front plate and it will be complete

Looks awesome, where did you get the aero skirts and what did you pay. I am looking to do to my 01 Cab also.

Just as an aside for those interested in the mesh inserts - if I had to do it over again, I'd do what others have done and just go to the hardware store and buy a sheet of the mesh. With the "already" cut pieces from Cargraphics, you still need to glue them into place..which requires that you have to massage the grill some to get it to fit flat so that you can glue it down. Since you have to go thru that part, it seems as though it would be a whole lot cheaper just buying a large sheet and cutting out the pieces you need. Oh well, I guess I learned the more expensive way!

That looks sweet! I'm still waiting on my wing from Dayton then hopefully you can help me with my aerokit installation. Maybe it'll go quicker with 2 people.

Very, very nice. I think I need to get me that GT3 bumper cover and side skirts next time my bumper cover needs to be replaced. Your paint job looks great too.

I love it! I really like the complete kit. Usually on the cabs I do not like the rear spoiler; however, your is just perfect. Which spoiler is it? I thought you could not use the standard GT3 on a Cab. I need that Wing!!!
