This is one SICK car!!! The final bill must be huge. Probably better to get a 997 "S" and do the upgrade. Less pain, time and $$$.

Thanks guy for your comments ! I’m really glad you all like it.

Wheels are iForged Essen series with custom painted lip in speed yellow to match the car color. Vince and guys at iForged did great job. And yes John rear lip is 5 inch.

Photos are taken and photoshop by my friend and yes she did wonderful job.
If you need good photographer in LA or any kind of photoshop work just let me know, she does amazing wedding photography.

Front bumper is my new design GTM bumper and it is available for 997 at the moment but I will probably do 996 version soon if you guys like it.

Wing is new 997 GTM that is available now for your 996 C2 and C4S coupe or cab. Also people who have my GT2M wing can get this new GTM blade and switch it on existing wing base.

newport996 yes we can do photo shoot together anytime, PM me


Cost of doing something like this …. not cheap.

Doing just a front conversion to 997 look is not that hard and you are looking at about 8K-9K.
Around 5K for the parts – Porsche parts and my 997 conversion fenders and GTM or GT3 bumper.

And around 3K for body work, paint and installation.

Conversion to 997TT rockers, rear quarter panels and everything else in the back of the car I would say it will cost you around 16K-17K and it is much more complicated to do it then front.
Everything accept my new GTM wing and 997TT rear bumper is done with Porsche original metal panels.
8K-9K for the parts and 8K-9K for the body work.

Suspension and wheels are extra of course.

In doing something like this choosing the good body shop is crucial and finding the one that will finish it on time ….. priceless.

I would love to have the front bumper on 996 to compliment the GTM wing. It is even better if you can create a rear bumper for 996 narrow body.

that is a lot of money and dedication.
And let me just say even to a trained eye like mine i can say it's almost impossible to tell this was once a 996. The work speaks for itself. Awesome. I love the roof spoiler. Any plans for you guys to make the turbo look bumper for the 997 c2s?
