Yep, the GT2 in Seal Grey takes the prize, especially with those superlative wheels...

What I'm surprised by is not that I find the turbo more attractive but by how large the margin is imo! And I owned a .1 GTS.

While I wouldn't do it to my car, I think the GT2 style wing and GT2 bumper look good on his car.
I actually considered installing a GT2 wing and GT2 front bumper on my 996 Turbo not long after I purchased it, but decided instead that I was going to keep the exterior as close to stock as possible.

That's a great photo of the two generations side-by-side. These cars really do age well. When people ask me what year mine is, they're typically surprised to learn that it's well on its way to being 20 years old. They truly are beautiful cars (yes, I know... preaching to the choir
).

Your car does look great in the pictures. My 993 is almost always dirty so I’m amazed how clean your car just happened to be when you randomly showed up at your uncles house. Incredible! And I’m the only one who commented which implies many of you keep your cars that clean on a regular basis. I’d be a cleanliness pariah on this forum.
Anyway, again, you have a really nice looking 996TT.

You need some PCBs to bring it up to S status. Great looking car. I am jonesing for a GT2 front end for the down force improvement. It woul help in turn 1 at Laguna where I get a little squirrelly.

I haven't seen downforce measurements, but I imagine it is noticeable if you have the ducting that pushes air up through the bumper. Although the air dam is pretty small compared to other cars that have that type of downforce at the front, it definitely does something. Now it would be interesting to compare full GT2 front end to a 996TT bumper with a big splitter and maybe some canards.

I do like it more than the stock turbo front end. It would be interesting if there were some hard numbers on it.
