I just purchased the 996 MK1 TA style front and GT2 wing from Precision Porsche. Fitment was spot-on. My body-shop was impressed with the craftsmanship.

More positive reviews on Precision Porsche on a couple forums including this one. Although that body kit is not my cup of tea, I sure hope you'll be using it with at least 19s.

Why to change the wheel I have 18 eom? I dont plan on changing them as they are nice and fit with the car. I dont see them became ugly because I install a bumper kit?

I have the car since 7 years now and im bored of the look. As much as I like the porsche if I was to put 100k on a new car it will be something more exotic cause all porsche look so similar to me for most not trained eye. I want to keep all the original part and if I ever want to go back original I could. I dont really want to create a 997 I just find the kit nice to my own eyes. after finish I will wrap the car in bright orange/black or gray/black Im not fix yet on the colour but I will post picture of the evolution anyway

here is my old ride now

IMHO, from a design perspective, the bumpers are really "heavy" looking and would need at least 19" wheels to balance out the aggressive nature of the bumpers. The wheels would also need to come out and be flush as possible with the fenders to make it cohesive with the bumpers as well.

But in the end, it's your money and as long ans you're happy, nothing else matters.

Spacer are on my list for sure when I finish but since you talk about it I have a question if I put them flush on the fender are they gone a not rub on the fender lip when I get a bump? For the wheel it is not in my plan as first Im not a fan of 19 inch and second I like to keep the car enjoyable to drive I live in Quebec Can. and over here the road look like Irak but if it look very ugly I will change them its no big deal

Thanks, they are correct 19" do make a more aggressive look and fit with a kit on, also mine is lowered as well. Start off with your kit and see what it looks like with stock wheels.
