Summer lovin'

So, I purchased by 997 S in December 2015. I had big plans for her and it is all coming together. I finally placed my bumpers on after a long wait of purchasing, prepping, painting, and installation. I also installed LED DRL's.

Front bumper is an OEM GT3 bumper. Rear is a full carbon fiber GT3 cup bumper. My GT3RS spoiler is en route and should be at my home soon.


Enjoy the before and after pictures!

Where did your exhaust tips go? Are they hidden behind the bumper? Are you converting to a center exhaust outlet? If not, are you worried about melting your bumper?

Converting to center exhaust; however, at the moment tips are downward faced.

Thank you kindly. Yes, it does scrape. The streets where I live are mostly flat. I haven't had any problems going around town. It would be a different story if I live in Los Angeles though.

Looking good! My original plan was to go with meisters as well, but the classics are just my all time favorite. Can't wait to see your build.

I used the original mounting points and heating protection still in place. I did not want to drill into my car.

Post pics of yours. I would love to see it.

I went from a G35 6MT to a 997.1 C2S. As much as I loved my Infiniti, I have no regrets!
