Default 997.1 Fat *** from 997.2

I changed TechArt fixed spoiler to a new 997.2 Decklid w Reflector on my 08 Targa C4S
I have new Silver logos, will see if I like without.

Looks a little out of place to me. On a .2 the bottom line of the reflector lines up with the lights better, IMO. As long as you like it...

Looks great! I am considering the no-logo as well.

I think adding the LED lights might complete the look. I like.

Nicely done. I had the 997.2 C4S and appreciated the way it "respects" the 993 appearance. And the fixed wing, well, some like it, but to me, I prefer the classic silhouette of the 911 without the wings. I have a 997.2 RS now and I take the wing off.

The LED lights are irrelevant other than the practical advantage of the brake light creating light sooner (which is useful for the "eye level" brake light, less so the tail lights.) If anything, I'd want the Euro bumper, but I've never justified the cost (and I don't really care about the rear bumper compression cylinders.)

This is what everyone gets to do with their Porsches---customize. Looks fine!

I like it a lot. Think that it's a great improvement.

I don't like it, it's off, it needs to align with the lower or upper light. Your original setup looks a lot wider. But if it makes you happy then that is all that matters.
