All DONE! 996 Nose job and customcargrilles mesh

I really liked how it turned out. The black powdercoated diamond mesh makes all the difference.

Kudos to Ryan at West Coast Specialties here in San Diego. They were able to bring the dream to life - and get this conversion done the right way - huge attention to detail here. They are the repair shop that all the local high end dealers bring their cars to for work. It really shows. I love how "stock" everything looks.

No, I wish!

The guys as west coast specialties modified a 9ff 997 aero nose I had under my house (my wife needed the storage space - "why dont you put THAT nose on your car now) to work on the 996TT.

haha - yes that was before it was done, the grill and stripe were missing, and still had amber bulbs - so the look is a bit diff!

I like the mesh - but their "attention to detail" overlooked the stripe not lining up, unless the angle is just funny.
