997 bumber on 996TT, ghetto?

What do you guys think about putting "997 look" parts on the 996T? I kinda like this 997 bumper on Ebay but at the same time i like to keep the car a 996TT...I don't want to be a poser.

Hmmm
Would need to see in the flesh to make a definate decision

if you zoom in to some of the pictures you'll see the fitment between the bumper and the front of the bootlid and wings isn't ideal - may be a bad mould, may be poorly fitted

Jury's still out

I can tell you I don't like the rear bumper or the addition of a GT2 badge

Yeah, even if it's a little off it will look like a smashed bag of a$$holes. I was more wondering what everyones opinion was regarding non 996TT parts on a 996TT. "clone" cars=lame?

I wouldn't do it personally

I wouldn't class a change of bumper as a clone, it's clearly a 996

I do strongly agree that clones are weak ***

I agree with Dan, if your going to do to it, then do it all! Headlights, fenders, hood, and front bumper.
