sad
Man, am I am dissapointed!
I read your post heading and come in here expecting to see a bad *** new lip on a Scion (or at least some cool cosmetic surgery pics), and I find... this... this... yellow.... (what it is?)
(Ohh, OK - Looks very clean and nicely done!)

my thoughts
A full review will be written in our upcoming 996 Tech project in tUNINGwERKS Magazine...for now though:
I was looking to change up the front end of my 996- stock, the front sits too high for my taste, especially since the sideskirts came w/the car. I've seen a lot of the turbo front swaps, tech art full bumper replacments, etc - but wanted something a little less common and less painful on my pocketbook.
I came across this spoiler on the web - I won't mention the name as I'm not happy with the initial quality and shape it came in, thus I don't want to endorse their product in anyway by even mentioning it at this point. I don't endorse products I'm not 100% satisfied with.
Constuction: (3 Pieces)
The spoiler is made of Fiberglass (the intakes appeared to be made of PUrim (Polyurethane material). It took A LOT of prep work as the mold had several flaws in it.
Performance:
It's a front spoiler...LOL - have yet to test any lift @ 120mph+
Fitment:
7/10 - both intakes had to be modified for correct fitment, the spoiler was pretty straight, sans a slight gap on the right front that had to be adjusted.
Value:
Rather than purchase an entirely new front bumper that I had seen on other cars, I went for an add-on which is cheaper, but somewhat more of a pain to work with, at $600 Retail (I think LOL)- this is a good alternative if you have a VERY good bodyshop.
