First real pictures of new 997TT aero kit

Taken from Rennteam.com, the first real set of pictures of the new aero kit. And now, that's a lot of brown! Even the speedo gauges are brown too! I'm not sure if I like it. Maybe with a different set of wheels they'd look good.

I was thinking the same.

Although the "aero" 996TT's looked REALLY good compared to a non-aero....i am not sure the same holds true on the 997TT.....maybe a different color would help?

Aerokit

I think the stock wing looks better than this aerokit and the stock wing of the 997 TT is quite a bit larger than the stock 996TT wing.

I really like the aluminum look front grill !!
Looks a lot richer IMO


I have to look into that...... i wonder if it is just the stock grill painted or is it a metal??

It's the stock grille painted. No way would they use real aluminum up front.

I'm diggin' the Macadamia Met.

I think I'd opt for the lower lip spoiler to be left in the bare plastic/black.

The rear wing looks promising from this view...I look forward to see it from the back.

Couldn't agree more. Maybe its the color, but not worth it to me, especially with the stock 997TT wing being damn nice already...

On the 996TT's it was an awesome upgrade.

No feel about it. Techart or GT2 kit look way better.
