Default Should i try this???

I am currently driving a 997 C2 and would like to get a body kit for my ride. Any suggestions? Would this do? Thanks

Probably will look great but make sure you can negotiate the local roads and driveway. If you upgrade please post pictures.

I gotta wonder

Nowhere on their website is a phone # or where they are located?
What are "Grade A carbon fibres"
They have a copyright notice, but yet are using a PAG image of the "real deal" (red car) aero kit that is not their own kit hmmm ...a bit of mis-representation and copyright infringement.

Not for me

Agreed..Would never buy a catalogue type item like that that is so essential to the car without seeing the actual product installed on a vehicle. As Butch Cassidy said "Who are those guys?"

Most if not all bumper assemblies today, are modern plastic bumper system fascias are made of thermoplastic olefins (TPOs).
They are flexable.

This company is selling a Rigid sort of CF bumper assembly
Prestige Body Kits say:Please note that most carbon products are made in wet laid up in at least 2 layers of carbon fiber and fiber glass reinforced.
A bumper rigid assembly, could be nasty damage in a low speed encounter.
Not to mention its not "true" Autoclaved Carbon Fibre Body panels.

I'd spend the money on the "real deal" Aerokit Cup

Thanks!! The guy from panel workshop said the fitment was good but require a minor bodywork preparation on the surface. The result is so impressive!

Now we need more/ bigger pics of your avatar

Looks Great! Judging by the shape of your gray/blackout license plate, your car is in Asia (Hong Kong?) and not in the US

You beat us all to the punch, Tom. You mean I wasn't the only one clicking on his avatar hoping and praying it was a thumbnail?

Btw, glad to see you get back on the wagon there.
