997TT w/ GT3RS Front Bumper

Is it just me or would that look killer!?!? I am not too crazy about the front bumper with the fog lights on these. Somebody needs to do this...

I'm with you. The funny little LEDs are a novel touch, but I don't think they integrate all that well.

I think it would look great along with the GT3 rear bumper & exhaust.

Wow, I was just about to post the same question. I love the TT, don't get me wrong, but I think I like the GT3 front end better.

I said that to my tuner shop (Lucent) before I even got my car. However, I don't know if the aerodynamics will be upset because the rest of the car (bottom, rear, etc) were designed to go with the TT front bumper. I guess if I stay under 180mph, it should be OK.

if u really want to go that route might as well do the RUF RT12 front bumper. leave the GT3/RS bumper for the GT3/RS. RT12 bumper is for Turbo.

Quickly did this. Sorry for the lack of color matching, but you get the idea

if u look at all the openings that the Turbo has including the side intakes & rear bumper openings (just a quick look at cayenne_ksa's avatar) u'll realize the vertical slats design on the GT3 bumper doesn't work very well with the horizontal slats design on the turbo. the bumper design is gorgeous alone but as a package it doesn't work well on the Turbo. just my personal opinion of course.

the foglight placement kills the stock front bumper, imo.
