Nero 991 Build Thread

Hey Guys,

New to the forums, just picked up a 13" 991 C2S PDK, Sport Chromo.

Always enjoy modifying my vehicles, below are photos of a couple previous cars. I've already got the mod bug going on the 991 but there are more plans for her so stay tuned!

I have always been a big fan of the sport design front bumper on the 991 but couldn't fork out the crazy money to order the retrofit kit from the dealership ($4K just in parts!!). I was lucky enough to find a used sport design front bumper on ebay that had a little damage but easily repairable. In total I save myself 3k sourcing everything myself. Big thanks to James @ Signature Autobody for doing the paint work on her. Looks perfect!!

Also wanted to post some photos of the Vorsteiner V-GT Rear diffuser and deck lid spoiler. Really like how aggressive the rear diffuser adds to the rear of the car and the deck lid is a subtle touch to the gorgeous lines of the 991 rear.

Another big thing for me was the sports design steering wheel and Alcantara A-Pillars. My 991 came with the old style steering wheel which didn't flow with the interior. First thing was to order the sports design steering wheel and I absolutely love it. The aluminum ties in perfectly with the interior. In addition my 991 didn't come with the extended leather package so the A-pillars were vinyl which looked weird against the full alcantara headliner. The alcantara A-pillars were a simple add on but complete the look of the headliner. Let me know what you guys think.

Tastefully modded. Just curious, was the Vorsteiner diffuser a pain to install? I've been finding conflicting information online.

Beautiful mods and great start on your 991. I too came from BMW e92 M3 to my 991.1 C2S.

This one seems to have all the needed supported parts at a good price. I have ZERO affiliation with this seller.

That looks amazing. The Vorsteiner rear diffuser for the 991 has to be one of the best looking diffusers on the market for any car

Was the Sport Design front bumper a straight bolt on...no cutting or anything required?

I'm loving your car. A few of those visual mods are also on my list. Wanted to know how difficult the bumper swap is. Looking at picking up a bumper soon for my body guy to start cleaning up.
