997 Exterior mods done! (pics)

I picked up the car completely stock a few months ago... Since then I have done a few cosmetic mods and a Proto tune. The car goes in next week for modded vtg's and E85 upgrade.
I really love the look of the new GT2, so that was my inspiration for setting up this car.

Are the ducts a single piece of CF wrap?

I tried endlessly to do them without any seam and it was impossible.

Very nice!!

Thanks. The wheels are Rennen Xtremen concave 5. Stock sizes.
Yes it will look a little better about 1 inch lower.
GT2 wing, Fabspeed tips and LED tail lights.
The hood and ducts are CF wrap. The ducts are not seemless, but you really need to go up to it and inspect it to tell they are not real CF! The hood came out awesome. For $300.00 bucks and I can always peel it off I figured it was a good way to go.

Thanks To Edelectra for all the good advice and help with the set up! You the man!
