And then add lower rockers, because the GT2 look alone may not be enough to ruffle the feathers of the purists

^ that looks really good! Any plans on paining the lip and rear lower bumper?

My car is black and I still want to do that.

I love the look of a painted front lip, but I love even more having an unpainted lip that I can swap for ~$100 when it gets damaged.

On a lowered car that is driven frequently, it's a question of when, not if...

...and the GT2 lip is ~$300.

I'd like to make some sort of quick release so that I can take it on and off, like for when I want to put it on ramps or when I take it to the shop.

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.

I can't paint the lower lip red because I occasionally don't traverse steep approaches correctly or hit dips in the road that leave me with a scraped lower lip. Removing the lower lip, hitting it with a little sand paper and then hitting it with a rattle can freshens it up and gives me satisfaction for little $. But the lower part of the rear bumper is a great idea! Thank you! Getting the two black bumper carbuncles painted red, as well as that black area would be a big improvement.

Lots of 996 Turbos have bumperettes painted to match the body color.

BumperPlugs.com will paint them factory colors. This was the first mod I did to mine.

Yes, there are not all that many in white. Found a Turbo S in white early last year and jumped on it, and I've not seen another, which I'm sure are out there.
