Why don't you guys slap on a Euro-style rear bumper, or is that illegal? Bumperettes are fugly. Nice car though.

Nicely done!
I have a question, does the TT front help with keeping the nose down at higher speed? My stock front feels like it lets waaay too much air under the car, and the steering wheel gets waaay too free.

thanks guys. I would think that the nose does provide additional downforce because ive read on the rennlist forums that porsche recommends a front spoiler if youre going to add a rear wing.

and for the euro bumper question, ive been bumped on the bumperettes twice in traffic, so i decided it'd be in my best interest to keep the bumperettes.

i bought the front bumper from nrauto and the side skirts from dps (oem). the skirts fit with no issues, and the front bumper required some modification for the side marker lights, and the turbo grilles needed to be trimmed and glued into position. my body shop guy said he would expect more for $1100. The rear bumper is an oem from the 02-04 models, and the lower lip on it matches the side skirts perfectly. it also fit with no issues.

no i didnt. i added that rear bumper for 2 reasons:

1) it matched the side skirts

2) i thought it would hide the exhaust piping from the back view.

unfortunately it doesnt hide the piping as well as i hoped it would
