so are you going to put us out our misery? Is that lower center portion on the front bumper open for the third radiator or sealed up

I'm not sure what I can do about your misery but I can tell you I kept the center sealed b/c behind our bumpers (non GT3) isn't pretty. It just doesn't work well with the 996 imo. Of course my opinion and $5 will get you a cup of coffee

The new bumper looks fantastic. I agree with the suggestion of a wing... but even without, the car is very clean.

Looks very good. I'm considering the GT3 bumper and skirts for my 99 C2. I'm over-thinking the rear bumper now. I'm not going to go for a wing on the cab, but I'm not sure the rear hangs together with the skirts? it looks like you've kept the standard rear bumper--how's that feel to you?

Thanks! They're Fikse Profil 10. 19 inchers. Painted black with Boothe design caps. I got luck and ran into a guy who wanted to go back to 18 inch wheels for the track. he sold me the wheels and tires cheap. i bought the caps later.

Like I said, the wheels are sharp. I generally don't care for the styling on either Fiske or Kinesis wheels, but those look really good.

hey joe it's this matte black plastic molded piece that runs all along underneath the front gt3 aero bumper. it's there to reduce lift up front to match with the rear wing. i think you can order it via porsche. it makes the car look lower and serves a functional purposes as well.

good luck.
