Ken - I, like sharky, wanted to know more on changing the center radiator to GT2 spec as I will be replacing my bumper soon so its an excellent time to do it.
Also, whay car modification did installing your V1 entail?? Detials please...I thought it was straight forward just put the remote in the lower switch panel

David,
Sent you a PM.

Mansour,
Regarding the radiator, I told Alex to call. IT is too invlved to writ up. Alternatively, call Bryan at FVD. That is where I got all of the parts. He knows what is necessary and can give you prices and availability. THe trick is with the hoses. You can either do nothing and leave tham stock TT, go whole hog and replace all of the varying TT/GT2 hoses or modify the two leading hoses that feed the radiator. It becomes a matter of cost/time/desire. Any of these solutions will work.
Regarding the V1 remote, there is not enough space behind the trim panel for the remote and its connection. The console needed to be hollowed out to a degree to allow for the V1.

The radiator supports and hoses were changed to tilt it forward. It was a PITA but definitely worth it.

Ken,
The car looks amazing!!!! By far one of the nicest TT's EVER!!!! I like every mod you did, and think they all improved the car past perfection!!!! That hood has to be my favorite part, makes the car look extremely agressive!!!!
Keep up the good work,
Evan
PS-Here is my comment...sorry bout that

Hi kpv,

gt2 looks awesome on your car first of all!!!

just wanted to know what are the disadvantages of installing the bumper like this "There are several ways to do this mod. The first is purely aesthetic wherein you simply replace the bumper cover and leave all else alone.". If i do get this bumper i want to try to get away with installing it without spending as much money as possible.

also are all 996 fronts the same? i have a 2002 carerra so will this fit it?

thanks
