I like it. Just wondering if those are functional leds.

edited... oh, the leds are used for blinkers; it seems that only one of them works.

I purchased a rear bumper skin from Wicked - was extremely disappointed in the experience.

I would NOT do business with them again.

Wicked is not known as one of the higher esteemed companies around here. Their cars are usually salvaged vehicles with a questionable past. That being said, there's a few here that have had positive experiences (Billystang, I believe has a black 996TT from them and seems very happy with it). So to say the least, it's a mixed bag, so if you deal with them, choose wisely, stay in VERY close communication with them and get EVERYTHING in writing, even if it's just for parts and not an entire car. They do have some very nice looking cars though, others are gaudy.

It certainly looks very nice, but I cannot help but remain comprehensively unimpressed with the "nickel and dime" approach to buy all the parts required to complete the look. This is definitely a very expensive mod, to do it correctly.

Thumbs up

Genuinely a Pity as they do have some "Wicked" designs, does anybody else make a 997 GT2 or GT3 front for a 996TT ?

NR auto is making one, in fact they already sold one to a customer, but its no listed on their site.

It includes custom LED lights, so you do not have to buy expensive OEM ones.

Can you please give us a little bit more detail as to what went wrong? Was it quality or service?

I was in need of a new rear bumper skin - Beau had one for sale and advertised it as just needing paint. When I recieved it, it was broken in multiple places and needed much more repair than just paint.

Beau would not admit to any of the problems with what he sold me. I took pictures of the damage and sent it to him - he never responded.

Unfortunately, he's 350 miles away otherwise I would have paid him a visit...

From the pics on their site, it looks like to fit and finish may be off a little. It could just be the paint finish, but it looks like the gaps are inconsistent and the paint finish on the pics of the arctic silver car doesn't seem to match the paint on the original car.

Just looks a little off.
