looks great. much better than the stock one.

but how come when the 996 guys put TT and GT3/2 bumpers on their cars they get hazed for being wanna be's, but no one is saying a word about this conversion?

Because the GT3 is not released and the original nose looks like a marshmallow It is unfitting for the car and not aggressive enough. I guess the census is if you have a TT you aspire not to be a GT3 rather just different. If I wanted a GT3 I would have bought one. On the flip side it is normally misunderstood that even though you love the look and that is what you want people see it as a wannabe. Like sticking a GT2 badge on a TT. Same argument.
<O
In all I have never understood why people throw stones for that, but in my case the bumper has character, the TT could if they didn’t make it look like Stay Puff with the goofy driving lights.
<O<O
FWIW the LEDs are in the signals. They are blacked out until on. I will post those pics later. There is over 60 hours in the conversion. 40 of which where on the lights. The radiators are much larger than the GT3 or NA car so the lights had to be cut in half to fit in the same spot. The cost of the conversion is unpractical for most. <O</O
