Came across this image while browsing google. (I wasn't even looking for anything 996tt related) In any case, the picture looks photoshopped in many ways, but I kinda like the front bumper. It's a mis mash of 996gt2 and 997 gt2rs.

Looks like 6GT2 outer ducts and 7GT3 center duct. Could probably do without the holes in front of the tires though.

blkmagic I've been digging around and best i can tell extreme is selling precision's parts. though i could be wrong? they are a 100 miles away from precision, sell many ( if not all! ) of the same items just they're on ebay.. .. and everything is just $10/15% higher. i can't think of any reason to buy from anyone other than precision if it's "copies" of stuff e.g. gt2 or tech art etc. i'm really leaning toward that "evo" 997 front but i seem to like it mostly only after a few beers. the rest of the time i think i'd need techno music slamming to match it aesthetically and aint gonna happen lol.

with the chance of these cheese whiz led tails coming, i just feel i need to refresh the car. it's never gonna look stock again, which has me thinkin...

I hear you! I want to update mine as well and really like the Precision piece. However a stereo, exhaust, and possibly intercoolers seem to have jumped the line ahead of an updated front-end lol! My car doesn't look stock now and I honestly have never felt the need to keep it so.

I ordered the Precision Porsche GT2 front bumper this week. Excited to get the conversion started.

I finally got my bumper back. Overall I'd say fitment was in the 90% and I am happy with it. The few spots where it's slightly off is in the top corners at the sides of the headlights. One side is perfect and the other has a small gap. The other spot is where the GT2 air dam meets the hood. The higher plastic dam gets closer to the hood on the driver side instead of maintaining the same gap. But overall I think it looks great. Precision was great to work with and had molded and shipped my bumper to me within a couple weeks of ordering it. It's not perfect but it's darn close. Thanks guys!

Looks like the painter did a good job of matching the yellow paint. Which is a difficult color to match. Looks great overall!!

I ended up taking the plunge on the Joe Toth splitter so I will probably go with the PP GT2 front bumper if I ever change out. Good to know they just need minimal body work to fit well.
