It does share some similiarities to Tech Art and the GT2 bumper but it does have its own unique design concept IMO.

I like it a lot actually lot and prefer this over Tech Art for some reason. Nice and not too agressive which is what the turbo needs.

I still like Vorsteiner much better and we don't have to worry about the Euro killing the prices. The front isn't so aggressive and it blends in much better.

They are big differences between both products.

The Techart is plastic similar to OEM.

Vorsteiners is carbon fiber. Problems with this including paint chipping easily and the bumper can crack.

I can almost guarantee Vorsteiners bumper price is going to be very close to the Techart, so why not just get the Techart.

Personally I was never a fan of how the Techart bumper had those swoops on the outside of the bumper. Either on this kit or for the 996TT. Makes it look like it has fangs, less so here than on the 996. Otherwise I think its a great look, but that just made it too over the top for me.

At first I thought the front needed more of an aggressive look but after seeing it for a month, I think the only thing the stock bumper really needs is less of separation between the lip and the bumper, such as the GT2.

I like what they did with the placement of the driving lights.
But, I agree with the turn signals, I dont like them. I dont like them on the OEM bumper or any of the aftermarket bumpers. My prefence is to create another light housing for it like in the GT3 bumpers that have been installed on the TTs.

I can tell you that as a daily driver those turn signals are great, they definitely let people know your intentions.

I agree with the fang comment, thats why I want to see the end product.

I agree with raiyu and thuggy. The techart has the huge vampire fangs making the front and side profile look too aggresive and heavy imo.

I like the fact that this other bumper does not have the big side fangs making it look lighter and not too over the top. I also kind of like the scuderia style lip crease on the 2 front openings

In any case i think both the Tech Art and Vorsteiner bumpers look good in their own respective rights.

I'm agree with you on that.
Until I have 997TT just ignore what I say.
