Question 996 Turbo front bumper Vote -> Techart type II or GT2?

Time to replace the front bumper and im really on the fence. Techart type II is definitely more aggressive but not as refined and classy as the factory GT2..

Curious to hear some other opinions..?

no question GT2 front. Just like you said, not as refined or classy.

I actually like the stock bumper with the aero lip. Call me odd....I just wish I could get better lip spoiler for the standard bumper than the OEM aero unit....something like GMG sells for the 997 GT3...

if you are only changing front bumper, go for GT2; if you're getting whole kits, Techart for sure.

The techart is great when you can see it. on a black car it is wasted IMO. But on a seal gray it is awesome

dam, it didn't work. I thought for sure there would have been a bunch of Techart noses for sale

Oh and Bill, that is definitely not the dumbest thing I have ever said. I say much dumber stuff than that hourly.

Woohooww.... Wheels selection is sooo important. The bottom one looks very contemporary from a complete vehicle perspective, as opposed to the top ones.
