Painted Front and Rear Bumperettes

So I had the front and rear bumperettes body matched (see picks). I also had the front spoiler, side skirts, and rear lower diffuser body matched as well (pics). I think it turned out great, as I was torn but was informed that if I were to have the frt. bumperettes removed there would be a huge hole that could not be sealed (yikes). Over all its unique and I like the look the more I look at the picture. My lights are ready for install and I had them cracked open and painted the chrome (minus the inner light bowl area) seal grey. I have the flat black HRE P40's ready to add as well. The widows have been tinted to legal limits. The last touches to my baby will be painting the hood badge flat black, paint the rear turbo emblem flat black, smoke out the rear tails and install the new P40's...I am getting very excited to get my girl back on the road! Just wanted to share the progress and thank Tym at SPI for not only making my ride a beast, but also dressing her up a little as well!

Aaron what wing do you have on your 996TT, looks real good not too flashy like others I've seen... Can you post some pics with it all the way down?


Hey, evo you gotta get rid of that front bumper, sorry man. I think I'm torn just looking at it and staring at it longer won't make it prettier. There's a bunch of 996TT front bumpers for sale that don't have the worts or better yet upgrade to the GT2 bumper. I don't think we would do you any justice by telling you it looks good because it really doesn't and porsche realized their mistake and corrected it.

Thanks for your opinion...much appreciated. I am not really a fan of of the GT2 bumper cover at all for the 996 (I love the GT2 997).

Hey Sid, sure. It's an authentic techart type 1 wing. I like it too, just enough beef.

I cant wait either. Dave Sutton for SPI (Switzer Performance Innovation). Tym over at SPI is working on offering this service in a tiered manor with different options and features for the 996 lights etc.
