I like the 1st one..the 2nd is aggressive but look kinda out of proportion to the rest of the body..look best if they're on a wide body..IMO..damn $2300-$2700 is a little steep for me

if your car is a turbo get the second one. The cooling will be needed. Plus if your going to spend the money go all the way.

If you are going for total show, then 2nd one. Otherwise, the first one is already good. However it gives the perception to the common person that you just have a stock "turbo" with new front bumper as the sides and rear are stock turbo look items. I'm not sure if this fact really matters to you or not.

As for the rear in the 2nd pic hanging too low, I think it is just photoshopped a bit off as the other member Adin(?) has the same side skirts and his flows well and is even between the sideskirt height and rear bumper height.

Edit: Or you can buy my Sport Seats instead and paint the back red to set it off.

Stay with your current bumper. The lines work better.

The first pic is his stock rear bumper cover. The second pic is the photo shop I believe. Completely do not like it as I am not an aftermarket Porsche kind of guy. Then again why make a Carrera look like a Turbo?

IMO I like the first one better. The second ones seems like a little much and doesn't flow with the car as well. That being said, they have lots of other nice aftermarket bumpers. I ended up going with a 2011 Speedster style.

You can't just say that and leave us hanging, right?
