Default Am I the only one?

Am I the only one frustrated that our 997 Turbo seems to be the only sub-model for which there is no polyurethane, black, aero kit???

Painting is really not an option with a lowered car, and same with all the carbon fiber offering. Neither would last but a few weeks…

I can’t believe no one makes anything, other than the $120 Amazon faux aero front lip, which is far too shiny and fit is not ideal.

Sorry guys, just venting…

I agree.

I blame the rich white men, the police… oh and Obama. Maybe even Russia and China as well, but I haven’t fully decided yet.

My 2012 997 Turbo has the factory painted Aero option. The car has 20,000 miles on it and the front still looks good. I hit every driveway at an angle. Maybe I'm missing something here.

Put 12.5k miles on my car with this setup - lowered and all pieces painted and clear bra applied. Many don’t have the patience and or tolerance to drive a car setup like this and I get it. Plus this wasn’t cheap. But imho it’s the best look for the 997 turbo - OEM aero front lip and GT2 sides. This was in Houston btw.

Comrades, jokes aside, from my personal experience even with a slight drop… we scrape.

Angle or no angle, the nose seems to have just enough over-hang that whether you approach the garage entrance at an angle or not, we scrape at least here in NE.

I can almost guarantee you that lip didn't look that way for much longer lol. Car is already lowered and the lip is deep and extended too far to survive more than a photoshoot or two

Thank you. Dark Blue Metallic. The car was a very high MSRP with the Aero Pkg painted, wheels and interior accents painted to match etc. I love the car.

Awsome config and very rare!
What color is the interior? I am guessing a contrasting color like espresso or cognac?
I don’t mean to hijack the thread but if you have more pics, please share :-)

Thanks a lot for the pics.

Your interior is incredible! First time I see such a special combination. Love the 2 tones interior and the touches of blue in the cabin are top notch. Congrats on your 997 TT!
