Installed Fabspeed Carbon intake on my 997.1TT in my office parking lot on Friday... I had one of my colleagues help me and it really did take 25min! Can't tell a huge difference in sound or performance... a small increase in intake noise, still not much more than the Fabspeed exhaust.

Those are the HRE FF01's. The fitment for widebody 997's with this wheel are 8.5" ET 50 for the front & 11" ET 35 for the rear in either 19" or 20" diameter. At the moment these are in-stock ready to ship.

Drove it! (and, other than 7mm spacers, kept it completely stock)

Where did you get those nozzle covers as well as the plate screws / tint cover? looks good.

great job on this - its a must do for 997.2 rear bumpers. looks great - and the way it should have come from the factory - yet they saved it for the premium gts models

Originally Posted by Hass_Geschafte
Vinyl wrapped lower bumper for the GTS look. Have done some taillight film on some past cars, those were much simpler shapes. This shape was hard. If the valance was a removable piece it would be easy. As is, the edge is defined by a deep rounded groove in the bumper. So you've got to make an accurate paper template, transfer to the vinyl, and then place the edge of the wrap as close as possible to the center of that groove. Then the wrap has to get over the ridge, including around corners, all without folding over itself .

Since I wasn't sure I'd manage, I got the smallest, cheapest amount of vinyl I could - 1'x5' of "3M 1080" matte black vinyl. I put that in quotes because it was bought off ebay, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was counterfeit. Particularly for only $12.

Have some dual exhaust tips coming in a few weeks, in that time I'll decide if I like the look. If I do but it's not holding up I'll get some nicer vinyl and try it again. It being reversible makes it a less stressful change to commit to. Not the best pics, shadows make it hard to pick out the edge in places, but here it is..

The black stainless steel screws and nozzle covers were from suncoast. The plate covers Canadian tire.

Sides are Moshammer

No shaving on the 991 lip besides some natural shaving from scraping the bottom.

I have those same skirts in the garage. I had mine CF wrapped. Seeing them on your car makes me want to get off my other projects and get them installed - maybe before Petit le Mans at RA, but that means I have to wash the car first (think it has been months).

Installed mesh grill. Got it professionally down while my bumper was out getting the 991 lip reinforced with screws, bolts and rivets

Shop used some plastic hexagon shaped (Audi pattern) mesh and I thought it came out pretty cool.

Hi Quickxotica, Thanks for the compliment!

I live in North County San Diego. HRE Wheels is in my backyard. TAG Motorsports did all of the install work.

I previously ran lobster claws with 7mm/15mm spacers.

These are HRE Liquid Silver FF01's in perfect C4S sizing, with the optional center cap coloring, aluminum valves, 235/19 front, 305/19 rear 4S tires.

This set up fills out the wheel wells perfectly!!!

Highly recommended! Love them on my C4S!
