Picture # 3 without doubt. Elegantly understated and tasteful. The others belong on "rice rockets"!

3 and 4 have that extra light and looks extra busy. With #1, could you add the 3rd radiator and get real airflow? They all look better than the stock on on my 01 c2.

My hangup

I struggle a little with all the "mesh" these days on the conversions. Some look ok but it can be a common abuse with the less desireable versions available for the 996. I went with #3 because in my mind the horizontal details look more believavle as an engineered and well executed piece. I'd like to think airflow was available either way...

Not fiberglass is a big plus. I think the biggest problem with fiberglass are the people that do the final painting not knowing what they are doing.

I was watching a show on Speed on kit cars and one guy said that you have to use a very special primer otherwise the paint job looks bad after 5-6 months because fiberglass parts are always curing. I bet almost none of the regular paint and body shops know that.
