Well, I don't know about the medley.
I think the Porsche rear bumper is just fine. The Porsche Turbo front end is blant on the 993, 996, and 997. With the 993 Turbo being the best.
On a 996 I think the GT2 bumper looks best thats why I have an OEM GT2 bumper on my car. On a 997 I'd put the GT3 bumper in a second. OEM only.
My opinion on a Techart rear bumper: I think it breaks any line this car has. Looks like a sooped up Civic got caught in a bad accident.
I'm not one who postes alot anymore - but this car needs corrective surgery now. Your HMO should cover it.

welcome aboard! i love the car! i happen to agree with our fellow members that the wheels and front bumper could be improved. by no means does it look bad, but could look better. enjoy it in good health, and once again, welcome!

Great to see the enthusiasm from the owner...I would probably change a few of the mods for better flow...but congrats on the purchase and welcome to 6speed...a world of misfits, degenerates, and teenage wonders...

I'm not a cab fan in general, but the hardtop looks different and cool. The bottom line is if you like it then awesome! Lets face it, its' a 996TT and you can't go wrong with that

i'm not sure why people have issues with the bumpers. they're both reputable name brand porsche tuners with quality pieces. i think it looks good with the brands blended. mixes it up a bit from the same old ho hum "all techart" or "all gemballa" look we see over and over again. i think the gemballa bumpers looks similar to the techart one anyway. not to mention i love the techart rear bumper and gemballa front hood.
the hardtop on the cab looks sick too. i'd put one on mine if i didn't ride around with the top down so often. i love the look but i would assume it's pretty heavy.
