Default Pics of new Aerosport front bumper cover....

I finally got the time to have the Aerosport front cover installed yesterday. It's been painted and waiting for 3 weeks so I dropped it off yesterday morning for the install. With the H & R springs it's really close to the ground; I had to re-work a portion of my steep driveway to allow access.....

It is gorgeous!
Sadly, it wouldn't last a week on my car considering the driveways I negotiate. Ah well...

Are you planning any other ground effects?
It's a great looking bumper, but I think it makes the car look a tad off balance now with the front being so much lower than the rest of the car. Just my $0.02.

I love that bumper! Can I ask how high off the ground it is?

John, that looks great! What are you going to do on the rear end? Don't you need to balance it out for handling as well as looks?

I think it looks great without a wing....(kinda like the 996 C4S). And if I ever do it I may do the GT-3 nose with the 3rd radiator.

Jim right now I like the look without the rear spoiler but who know how I'll feel ina month or 2. Now if I can only get the exhaust on I'll be finished for awhile.....

JR, your car looks amazing. I actually think I prefer the cleaner look of your Aerosport bumper cover over the OEM GT3 cover.

By the way, what color is your car? Seems too dark to be Seal Gray, and too light to be Atlas Gray. Whatever the color it is, it's gorgeous!

Looks like Atlas Grey to me. The color looks and photographs a fabulous variety of shades and hues depending on the lighting.
BTW, I think the new nose looks great, but agree you need something else possibly TechArt side skirts to visually balance it out.
