Bought my car about a year ago, and in no time confirmed my thoughts that making this car faster was not really worth the effort. So I decided I wanted it to look better. I’ve always like the wider and wingless look of the old 993 4S or the 996 4s. More agressive, wider front and rear, yet not as “in your face” as the GT3.So I tooke some part from that bin. I really like the 997 GT3 but I don’t have one, and don’t want to make a GT3 “clone”. So that means no rear wing (for now at least) and certainly not the GT3 wheels. Don’t get me wrong, the 997.1 GT3 is by far one of the best looking cars IMHO. Anyway… I ordered some front and rear bumpers from Misha Designs, and after some delay I got my bumpers delivered and mocked up.

Love it. That front bumper is so good looking. I wish jay was out here to fab me an exhaust Had a misha gt2 wing on my turbo for a hot minute but wasn’t stoked on the look so I went with an in your face option 😉 You have adaptive seats in that?
