I have just purchased a 997tt and this spoiler looks brilliant, what is it? GT2 style or something along those lines? - sorry to hijack the thread, here is a pic of what I have just purchased - first turbo for me, after a 964 for many years.

Today I finally installed the eBay repro GT2/Aerokit front lip, finished with several coats of Plastidip and Glossifier. I also installed black Rennline grilles and Hoen LED city lights. The car also already had a custom silver plated crest, clear corners, and FVD spacers.
The job took me a long time as I've never done the front bumper R&R on one of these before, and I took the time to clean and inspect everything along the way. There was tons of debris in the radiators so that was a PITA.
Another spectacular SoCal weekend, and damn, I love this car!

looks great. Your door pulls remind me of a conversation I had with a TTS owner at Porsche Parade. He had invested huge dollars in every little weight-saving bit on the car. I added it all up roughly in my head and figured he spent $15k easily to save about 70 lbs. Now this may not have been his only reason for the changes, but it was the only one he kept citing as he walked me around his (very beautiful)car.
The dude had to have weighed 300 pounds with at least 100 he could have lived without. He was super nice, and super knowledgeable. But all I could think about was how much money he could have saved by committing to the gym. Anyway, he had door pulls too. LOL
