When I was inquiring about the Techart steering wheel today I saw a 997tt with a combination of the Gt Street front bumper and the Type 1 rear diffuser . I parked my car side by side (wish I had a camera but didn't) and I was so amazed at how the front spoiler looked . My biggest issue with the Gt street was the rear wing . I like the Type 2 wing as well as Type 1 .

The car looked fantastic.

I have always shyed away from mix and match but I do think witrh cars constantly being revised every two years a do it youself revision might be a great idea over trade in.

I would like to see companies in the aftermarket aerodynamically test parts combinations. Not just with Techart but with engine mix and match of parts too .

I think this would be a great avenue for a low mileage driver who wants to change his car every two or three years but doesn't want to spend as much to do it .

Any thoughts?

 

Something like this? The front normally looks hideous but in black with a subtle rear end, it looks great.

 

Yes --except it was a coupe . My first question was about the mix and match. I have not read anything about how well a car can aerodynamically accomodate mixing design styles .

The car does look like a "facelifted" version which (barring a complete redesign) might offer an increase of choices if mix and match tests were done and it was very interesting to see the side by side cars .

Often when a manufacturer revises a car the two are photographed next to each other to draw comparisons and sometimes one hears "I like the lights but not the tail" type of comments .

The front looked better up close than anything I saw in photos. The lower lip was made of carbon fiber and with the huge vents it offered breathabilty which the grills on the stock bumper and or even Type 1 seems to obscure .
I just wish that there was a way of really studying high speed driving with Mr Potato head type choices by the manufacturer . As well --I welcome any future versions too.

 

love those wheels!

 

WOW... that vert is AMAZING looking... imho... I'm all for the occasional facelift.

 

That vert looks nice.

 

Looks great!

 

The photo doesn't show how great the carbon spoiler offsets the open grill in the sunlight . It really is quite a sight .
