looks good! ...

have seen some 997 front end conversions that use OEM porsche parts. this one's got a pretty cool fuel cap.

anyone have photos of a 997 gt2 front end conversion?

Looks nice. I like it and I like the gt2 look.

How do the turn signals, fogs, and all that work...and any difference in feel at high speed...is the downforce still there?

And, can you put a gt3 or other (see gmg site) lip on the new front end.


TIA


JB

wonder if dimensions of the kit are exactly the same as oem on the bottom side of bumper. believe top side, it's matched to a flat edged 996 bonnet.
