Amazing job! As I was reading/ viewing, I was thinking about the control unit...and then you described it. Looks cool! Enjoy your good work!

Absolutely beautiful job.

The LED rear makes the MK1s look dated.

You got to give the credit to Jason (atomic80)...not only did the work, but took great photos, as always.

Can this be done on a NON-TURBO 997.1 (Carrera 4S)?

Gorgeous!

Any news on the front LEDs?

I haven't heard of anyone trying the front LEDs out yet and I don't want to be the first either.

Whoops..forgot to answer your question about that. Yes, it can be done but you'd of course have to go with a different bumper and probably control units too. Just have your dealership look up the control units and bumper from a newer 997.2.
