thanks guys it is the speedart/fvd bumper with oem gt3 vent. you can install this vent in any bumper.

thanks also for the compliments on the wheels, most people who have seen it in person liked my old wheels better, but i think they will look nice after i am done with the other black accents...

Are the wheels cast or forged?

Not a huge fan of black wheels but this is a good looking combo. The wheels, bumper,vent,wing, tint, and silver --everything--all work nicely. Congrats, schweeeet looking ride.

Looks really good and relatively understated compared to lots of tack-on bodykits. I'd be interested to see it with the other black accents, but I'm not a fan of roof spoilers. Who did the powdercoating for you - someone in LA or Champion?

Even better than the optical enhancents, if the wheels are forged they should be pounds lighter and this is unsprung and rotating weight.

All looks good to me. I think black wheels look "correct" on a silver Porsche, a very classy look that is reminiscent of the previous models. The front bumper is what Porsche should do with the 998.

someone local in LA, just dropped of the wheels and picked them up in a few days.

Thanks for the compliments guys, its always reassuring when other enthusiasts like the mods that you have just done.

the front bumper is for sale at fvd, i believe that is the most inexpensive place.
you can also try speedart...
its referred to as the gt style bumper.
