Well done! Looks really good.
Please share a side profile pic when you can. Personally I sometimes like the absence of a rear wing, but always wondered how it would look with the aerokit front bumper.

Your car looks happier now with that smile. I'm with you, the OEM front doesn't look good. I know you like it wingless but a ducktail or a 997.2 GT3 would complete the look. Not a fan of the 997.1 GT3 wing, love the GT3RS but that is a bit pricey.

I just have this battle in my head of always hating the whaletail on the 911 and always hating wings on cars in general (unless its a race car). I am softening so it may happen some day. I also don't want it to be a gt3 wannabe, as most people don't know that the aerokit was actually offered as an option on the 997, even before the GT3 came out.
btw, you car looks great, any more pics?

I have the exact same setup on my car (gt3 front - no spoiler) the one thing i noticed is the rear does get a little soft when you're driving above 75mph. You have more downforce in the front, but not the rear.

It is a safety issue and that's the reason Porsche does NOT recommend installing this bumper without adding a rear spoiler.
