Personally, I think it fits the lines better than the turbo front bumper. The chiseled air openings for the center radiator go better with the rear intercooler inlet ducts and the shape of the rear bumper. I thought the OEM 997TT front bumper was too round in my opinion.

Additionally, we added our carbon side mirrors with a different look. We left the bottom portion silver with the carbon top portion. I like the way it looks with the distinct contrasting colors. I think it makes the mirrors stand out more while highlighting the aerodynamic shape of the 997 mirrors.

Later this week we will be adding our carbon headlight covers and rear roof spoiler. I will post more photos then. Here are some photos that we took today after completing this conversion.

My goodness that looks AMAZING, WOW!!!!!!

We have been very busy with the 997TT R&D process the past few weeks. Since the front GT3 "facelift" we have been working on the ECU upgrade with GIAC. We have been able to program the ECU with the help of our PIWIS and some new equipment Garrett obtained recently. We will be releasing some of the details later this month. Additionally, our CNC machined billet VTG compressor wheels are being stress tested. All of these components will be completed about the same time so when we release our "staged" power upgrades, we will most likely release them at once. 625+ HP is not too far off, stay tuned!

We have been also working on the Moton suspension refit and we have made progress with the PASM electronics. We will be offering more information on this shortly as well.

Attached is a dyno graph from a month ago which I forgot to post. This graph shows the baseline 997TT HP and TQ compared to our Stage 1 upgrade consisting of our sport exhaust with 100 cell catalysts as well as our sport headers. We will be releasing this system in the next few weeks with more detailed dyno graphs, sound clips and real world timing improvements as compared to stock.

We have been very busy here with the 997TT as well as some other projects. We have some new items on the car that I thought I would share. The items we have completed and are pictures here are as follows:
