Default New pic of my car with the Turbo bumper installed

Hello all,

Wanted to share a pic of my car (996 C4 NB) that recently had the Turbo front bumper added this weekend in case anyone was thinking of this mod. It was pretty straightforward with respect to install. I am very pleased with the outcome...

Looks great, I love the turbo bumper, not mistaken for a boxster anymore.

wow, looks great with that bumper. Is it a 40th bumper or from another design company?

Love the look of that style front bumper. Nice!

Now for the side skirts...?

Thanks everyone for the comments. The car is wrapped frozen sky blue. The bumper itself is OEM and I got it complete which was a great find. I am trying to figure out which side skirts pair nicely with a turbo bumper. Since I am not wide like a turbo in the rear I assume that I will have to have aftermarket ones. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I personally think it looks clean the way it is, side skirt no necessary, but that's just me.

MKII side skirts look good with the turbo front end and lip. Ask me how I know

The door handles are wrapped in carbon to give it some accents. Looks really good in person. My mirrors are wrapped the same way.

Looks like you have track wheels and tires as well. Car looks very purposeful. What color is under the 'skin'?
