The front is OEM. The sides and rear pieces are from Precision Porsche. I would give the fitment of their parts an 8.5 out of 10. My paint guy had to spend some time sanding down a couple areas that contact the body in order to eliminate gaps for a better fit. I installed all the items myself and I would give it a 6 out of 10 for difficulty, with patience being the most important skill. It really helps to have two people install everything.

I lost count... $1900 for the wheels (used), $600 for the front bumper (ebay), $150 for the C4S lip, and I forget how much the sides and rear were, but Precision Porsche sells them. $700 for prep and paint.

Precision has some killer prices. Any fitment issues with the rear?

Looks great, enjoy.

I also opted for the no bumperette route on my TT rear.

Love the wheels. I know you said they were used, but where did you get them?
Thanks.

Do you guys just happen to find these nose pieces and ****** them up? I never see noses when I troll ebay.
You say the nose is OEM? Turbo noses come in narrow bodies?

The front end of the NB and TT cars are the same. The TT front pretty much bolts right up.
There are usually a few on Ebay and if you post a WTB TT front in the parts for sale section you should have a few to choose from pretty quickly.

The only fitment issue I had with the rear was that it was about 1/2" too wide at the corners. When I say the corners, I mean the sharp part where the bumper meets the rear quarter panel at the wheel well. I had to push it in, then tighten down the screw that attaches it to the wheel well. The other minor complaint I have is with the vent slats by the muffler.. the fins do not extend very far inside. So this makes it a bit harder to attach the mesh from the back side (which I bought from customcargrilles.com).

The wheels were a total impulse buy. I just happen to find someone on rennlist that was selling them with tires. I was not in the market, but it was a good deal so I jumped on it. They used to be on Bumble996's car. I am the 3rd owner.
