Couple more rough renders of how I want the front bumper to look.
DUDE!! I know a lot of people won't like the amount of low but that'll look sweet! I think it's cool how the 997.1 skipped the red light bar for the 4/4S. The turbo twists would complement your build very well.

Damn those are 18”s?? I havent seen anyone pull those off on a 997.

And many people will be bothered by the low, i want to just completely eliminate the wheel gap, just looks better that way.

19's, I think 19x12 rear and they follow the proper direction.

Those are the 19" turbo twists made by Augment Wheel Company (AWC). Here's their article about the exact set of 19" turbo twists. https://www.augmentwheels.com/blogs/...es/dont-get-it
AWC is a small Canadian company that specializes in making custom forged wheels.

Edit: Haha, DesmoSD beat me to it.

Woah, these just might be it for me... I was thinking I would settle on those Sport Edition Cup 4’s, they sort of look like an updated “Turbo Twist” which is a look I wanted

But now knowing about those 19” ones I’m stoked!

Great build! Keep us posted on future mods. I just got an Arctic silver 09 Cab and am looking for ideas on wheels.

Wow great work. Any interest in trading your 18s for 5 spoke 19s? Looking for a smoother ride in nyc...

Very nice! Loved the breakdown of the brake refurb. I’m acquiring a Silver 997 next week and absorbing all I can now. What are you thinking to drop it? I’m looking at BC Racing coils
