Nice! I would go with a front lip. Do you have a rear LSD? Post some more pics too.

can i ask a dumb question... why would you convert to RWD other than the desire for burn out shenanigans - Isn't the bias something like 10f/90r in default?...

Yes I do realize that the fastest track porsches are 2wd, so if you track the car and are that awesome of a driver, then more power to you

Not understanding why one would do this either

The fastest track Porsches are 2wd only because awd is not legal.

Even with the high RWD bias converting it to RWD still makes a tremendous difference in handling and its owners preference. With RWD you can take it to the limit more (less understeer) and also allows more play, so depending on your driving style it may fit you. when changed the entire dynamics of how the power is put to the ground, how it reacts in corner etc are all changed.

I think it looks great, but you should add the Turbo S lip and paint the lower side skirts yellow underneath to match. It makes the car literally wrap around the body in looks and makes much more of a difference than you would think. It's a beuaty regardless thouugh!!
