My new FX Aero GTR bumper.

Update 2: picked up the car today and I'm totally stoked. It looks so amazing in person.

I have been working with Karl at FX Aero and his communication and drive for quality has been great. We have had 35 emails between us over 2 weeks. The bumper shipped today and I get it Thursday. Pretty excited. The pic is right out of the mold so you don't see the splitters in the side rad intakes with LEDs in them and it also comes with 997 side markers. The splitter is also already pre fit.


Updated:

Here is the stock duct to fit the bumper. Bottom is open a little and the top tucks in nice.



997 side marker hangs a little low so the body guy is building it up a little too make it look perfect

Agreed, I'd be interested to see how all the ducting lines up.

Looks good.

Later, Steve

its just a street car, so I really don't need it to be air tight and sealed. if I was road racing, then id just make ducting out of ABS plastic.

GT2 stuff might line up, center duct perhaps. Pretty sure I can use it with mine but I'm not sure the PO did it so I'm hoping to do it myself in the future... Really looking forward to see how this goes together, the led side markers and DRL is of GREAT interest to me so please keep us posted on difficulty and take lots of pics.

They fit all of it up before sending. They also include black aluminum mesh for the openings. Here is the splitters with leds in them. Not my car, but off the site. I should get mine tomorrow.

I like it, please take some pics from the side when it's done. I have Techart skirts and whatever front end I do needs to at least somewhat blend in lol
