I really like it, except for the "brake ducts" by the front wheels...it looks tacked on. It just doesn't flow with the rest of the car.

I have been battling this same demon. I am considering molding them in with an active vent. They are bolted on right now.

I was thinking a 997 GT2 rear. The T/A is a little much if you ask me.

Looks good. I always loved that TA front more then the 996 TA font. How about painting the font side ducts black as in the picture below. I also like the black piece that they have painted on the side skits in font or the rear tire. I guess you can do that piece in vinyl if anything.

If you don't mid me asking. Where did you source the parts to do the conversion. Are the fenders OEM.

Looks good! Was this at Coffee & Cars Saturday?

I like the idea of the black painted ducts.
