997.1 C4S with turbo wheels & body kit

Pics of my bro's C4S after doing the Turbo look to it.. I think it really made look hot

I had to change the front and rear bumpers along with the lower bumper spoilers. The hard part was the exhaust tips. The original location doesn't align with the turbo bumper, so had to fabricate that.

Btw... I also added the GT3 radiator vent to the front bumper (oem)

before


After

Don't see that look often. In fact I think it may be my first time seeing it.

I like it.

This is why I posted it here, coz I remember before I started I tried searching about a similar setup and there wasn't a lot about it... So, wanted to share it

Love the look, so fresh so clean. Something about the pure spoilerless widebody tail just gets me every time, makes me miss my C4S.

My bro wanted a rear spoiler too, I suggested this look coz it it's unique and maintains the C4S wide character. Just simple and clean, nothing fancy

Very sick. Always felt that the widebody c4s needed a little more ooommmph.
I think you nailed it. It always seemed like it would be nice if they made a 997 version similar to what they did with the 996 4s and you did a nice job.
Was it difficult to do or mostly bolt on?

Thanks guys

All the body parts were direct bolt-ons. Two things to consider tho:

# The exhaust tips did not align with the turbo bumper and needed a cut and weld job.
# The intercooler side vents were exposed due to lack of ic core, that was fixed with neat mash gril that covered it nicely.

Oh yea, had to cut the front bumper for the GT3 vent

Are the LED's functional? I know this to be one of the hardest parts of this conversion as the wiring isn't the same.

Regardless it's a good look, I agree he should stay spoiler-less... Otherwise it's just too close to the complete turbo body.

Agreed! Probably would have bought a C4S if that was the case.

I didn't have any issues with LEDs. Coz on the turbo, they are used for the turn signals (amber) and not DRLs like the 997.2
