I really appreciate all the shots guys. Thanks!

So nice to see well lit silver ones also, since mine is silver.

Any thoughts of slotting the area below hood? I remember seeing some different looks to that.

Slotting the area below the hood is part of the bumper, RS I think.

It can be done on +02 996's via the RS bumper (GMG has the whole deal now). It lets the third radiator vent out the bumper as apposed to venting under the car (block holes under car), and thus creates more downforce up front. Radiator needs to be angled in order to flow properly. On MKI 996s I believe the cup cars had three slots just cut in rectangles for the same purpose of venting the third radiator. Tho, on those cars the mess behind the bumper does not sit flush with the top of the bumper as the MKII RS does (I'm sure it could be done with some work).

This is what I have read, so I don't hold any of this to 100% valid. I do plan on doing it however 'cause it looks badarse!

I bought it from a 6speeder about a year ago. It's a Getty Design I think. I love it but some hate it. I just seem to make myself put a Taco wing on the car yet.
