Speed yellow GT2 front end conversion complete w/ pics.

Hey folks. Finally finished the GT2 front end conversion on my speed yellow 996 turbo. Ended up going with a precision Porsche bumper, rennline grill, and all the work was done by 2mautowerks in San Diego. Also ended up painting the mirrors side skirts and side vents to match the car. If you're looking to do this conversion I would highly recommend 2m for the work, precision for the bumper, and rennline for the grill. One of the best mods I've done to the car. Enjoy!

Looks great. Painting the mirrors, skirt and especially the side duct was a great call.

Later, Steve

Is that the factory front lip? I have an aftermarket GT2 bumper, and the stock lip doesn't fit properly. Need to either fab something up custom, or I'm thinking about getting a different brand of bumper.

Yes the lip and grill are from the factory. Didn't end up going with the oem ducts though.

Very nice, I have the same precision porsche bumper with Rennline grill. But just so others are aware, the Rennline grill will not clip on to the precision porsche bumper like it would an OEM bumper. I had to modify and glue mine in to make it work.

PP for the front is a no brainer....who's rear gt2deck lid is that?
I can't decide on misha mashaw or PP for the rear...they all seem to have a gap at the bottom...
