I'm in love with a stripper - that's absolute perfection and would buy that car with all mods included and pay extra for it, no doubt.

What are the specs on those LMs and where did he get them? Widths and offsets pls, especially the rear.

I don't like it anything
I always prefer OEM kits and I love the "clean" *** of a 996 Carrera without wings.
A GT3/GT2 are different story. They are designed in a wind-tunnel by engineers looking for aerodinamic efficiency, and not to walk around in a discotheque gate at low speed.
Don't be ungry with this comment

Benjamin, did you see the sticker on the front bumper?

Looks great, I'm not sure what the GT2 style front bumper grills are for (on top of the bumper)... anyone?

Air enters through the front grills and some of air exits out the grills to reduce lift???

Looks good. I do not mind the tuner look when it is done right, except for stickers, not a fan of any advertising unless it is part of the kit (i.e. molded into the pieces). So IMHO get rid of the side badges and sticker on the front. The Turbo emblem is OK.

Of course I would rather see a splashier (if that is a word) colour used with these types of mods, silver is so boring

BTW...welcome

Lose the stickers and the side badges, otherwise nice car. I like the hood and it's retro look with the cut in.

Not my cup of tea. I do like body kits, but, oh my, TechArt takes a special kind of person. It's almost overboard to the ricer-degree. I mean, if that kit was on a Honda...

But I do know you will get a lot of lookers, 'cause that style is pretty popular.

Oh, congrats and welcome! May the P-car bring you years of enjoyment!

I have never like that front bumper desitn. The large openings on either side look like torpedo ports.
