Default New Turbo to me

i just picked up a 2002 tt very very nice car

speed Yellow, x 50, full carbon, yellow stiching in seats and on dash, fab sped gen 3 exhaust, positivley perfect condition car ...

what do you all think installing gt2 nose on it>??? is there brands to look for ie cargraphic fvd etc?? or is this a porsche part item?

the only thing i am not wild about is the shocks and ride height ..any recomendations???

i dont mind firm ride the 997RS is fine to me i dont plan on tracking the car kind of a date / grocery store car...

i must admit porsche did a nice job on this model comparing it to the 997tt

2 popular Porsche parts suspension options:

1. Euro M030

2. X73

As for the nose, have you considered perhaps adding the Aerokit front chin spoiler:

(of course I would highly recommend having the DaVinci of Porsche paint, Eric at Bumperplugs, paint it to match.)

Aerokit and X73, then you're done!
Why did you dump the 997tt in favour of a 996version?

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

And yes!; Get the GT2 nose, X73 Suspension, Polished Headers, Upgraded Turbo's, New Wheels, Upgraded Stereo, Paint the Seatbacks, Carbon Fiber Wing, GT-3 Seats, etc., etc.

I just love seeing somebody spend their money. Keeps the economy going.

Seriously, drive the sucker for six months before you do anything. You'll probably find that you don't need a thing done to it.

Does the X73 (or for that matter the M030) use stock anti-roll bars??? My 993 euro M030 had bigger bars front and rear.

Anyone know for sure??
