you can switch it of using dme no need to do anything with the cables.

Is it a special wing you won't mention? I know that several people have asked but I have never seen you say what kind of wing you have on your car. I like it becuase it looks lower than the GT2 wing.

BTW: The car is black. Its just been wrapped for a work project. Seems to be causing lots of debate, you either love it or hate it.

Nice, thumbs up here!

Ok now I try to help. The 997 GT2 fits easly on the 997TT you only need the plastic of the GT2 in front of the two lateral radiators and take of the original plastic of the central radiator ( sorry for my eng). No news radiators at all

The GT2 front looks great, as does the 997 GT3 front - the GT3 on the turbo looks better then the stock front of a 997TT...

Do I understand you correctly, that the front bumper of the GT2 could be adapted to the Turbo without any modification of internal radiator or internal hose/wiring/etc.?

I thought it involves a lot more work than just a simple bumper swap??!! If this is the case... Hmmmm.

the plastic piece or something in the center vent in the last pic looks crooked. Any one know how much a gt2 bumper and rear wing cost?
