you need a rear bumper to set it off and a bigger fixed wing .... cuase it looks a bit awkward right.. if you do those two things it will look complete.

If you don't mid me asking. Where did you source the parts to do the conversion. Are the fenders OEM.
The fenders are not OE...just molds. I am assured the stock steel fenders will work if I needed them to.

I too like the black on the side skirts...if fact they were supposed to do that and will be in a couple of weeks when I go back in to buff it. Maybe I will have them paint the vents as well. I think that looks good too.

I am intending on getting a new deck lid and a 997 GT2 conversion rear bumper...it's just that little thing called $ standing in the way...lol!

I like everything but the sides of the front bumper. White or black they still look like something you would see on a 1996 Civic at the taco stand. I would have the body shop remove them altogether and keep the smooth lines

Believe it or not... I used that exact quote to the manufacturer in an email during the purchase. He said they would grow on me once on and I am not there yet, but I am not hating them either.

Time will tell.

Good news is it is a simple fix.

Well, your car looks freaking amazing. Where did you get the parts? Are they real techart?

Any chance you can pm me your cost for the conversion?
