It was a 30 minute install, pretty easy. I did not follow the tutorial, I used screws instead and cut it differently to make it fit more "flush" against the bumper. It is also worth mentioning that the photos do not do it justice, it looks way better in person, like a factory option, I love it!

Hope you don't mind me asking where you got the front lip from ?
Great photos! I wish I could get some of mine like that.
Love those carbon exhaust tips. I've been thinking about those but the fabspeed's were a bit pricey.
I have a base model too and dropping it and adding 15mm spacers all around is "required". It totally transforms the look of the car. I put Eibachs on mine and I think those are the perfect height. Its about 1" in the rear and a bit more than 1 in front. I would caution going more than that. The car looks slammed and the wheels get tucked under the fenders and dont sit flush.
Ps - get rid of that front plate and accept the consequences :-)
Thank you! The Carrera S ii wheels have a somewhat flush look from the factory on stock height. I will drop it to try and achieve 0 gap in the front and maybe 1/4" in the rear, and adjust as necessary from there. Any "tucking" issues will be taken care of with a more aggressive offset on the new wheels and I would get spacers for the rear if needed.
Also, I highly recommend the Fabspeed tips. I love the Carbon look and they are top notch quality.

Today I installed the Fabspeed Carbon Exhaust Tips and over the weekend I had the rear valance wrapped in satin black. Unfortunately it is raining here in Ottawa so I only have garage photos...
My factory titanium emblem was peeling at the C, so I decided to take advantage of this situation and replace it with one that ties into the GTS style rear diffuser and carbon tips a little better. Today I installed a new satin black "Carrera" emblem from a 996, aside from the color it is identical to the 997 factory emblem. I will get some nicer exterior shots tomorrow, for now some quick garage pics:
