There are a lot of pics of my car in my original thread here, and also several other colors as you go through the pages. Hopefully that can help also.

It's not as bad as you think. It's hardly noticeable. EMC2 used the existing under lip, I removed mine.

Very good point Supermode. I also realized after installing that i took a bunch of pics specifically to show the lip, but in real life the part is mainly in shadow and being so low down is much more discreet than one might think based on the photo. However it really helps to fill out the front of the car.

Put the mods4cars remotekey in. Let's me have full one touch up on passenger side, beep when lock-unlock as well as remote control of the windows up and down. Took a little longer than normal due to install instructions but really straight forward.

Recommended. I mainly did it for the beeping as I can not tell if I locked it and the window down from remote which is nice on summer days to vent the car.

Added Magnagraifk Carbon Fiber rock guards.
Added a brand new wind block from Suncoast.
Added silver and black Porsche crest wheel center caps too.
The quality and material of the rock guards are outstanding.
I wasn't not sure I liked the look when it was just sitting in the garage and even considered removing them, but took it outside to clean it up for our Porsche Club Spring meet in Greenville TN tomorrow and now ... they are growing on me. You be the judge ...

You can't. She loves riding in the car, especially once she knows that she isn't going to vet...T
