Cargraphic or TechArt 997 Carrera S Cab

I am looking to go either with Cargraphic or TechArt for my silver 997 S Cab. I would go with the Cargraphic lip and black 19" Cargraphic wheels. The TechArt route is the front lip, side skirts and black 19" TechArt wheels. What does everyone think?

Have you checked out "justatoy"'s (Stacy's) custom side skirts and spats? They look fantastic on his C2S cab. I expect Stacy will chime in here very soon.

I think you can't go wrong with either option. Both TechArt and Cargraphic make top quality part that fit will and complement the look of the car perfectly.

Coincidentally, I can get pretty good pricing on either, if you're interested.

Sorry guys,I have been up to my eye-***** with work and landscaping the house!

As far as producing the bodykit,I am not interested for two reasons:
1- I am not a site sponsor
2-I would rather sell the rights/molds to a reputable shop who is a site sponsor to produce these for the Porsche community.
But thanks for looking out for me Ken!

Sorry,

Stacy

stardoc, car looks great. Don't know how the GT3 front will look on a cab though, might be over the top

I just put the GT3 bumper on my Cab and I think it looks amazing. I'll snap a picture or two if you'd like when the rain stops.
FWIW, depending on the color, I like the GT3 nose over either of the two choices. For me, the white car with the white bumper and black lower splitter looks great. And, practically speaking, you'll very quickly appreciate a black versus body-colored splitter. Try as you might, you'll be dragging and scraping it now and then. No worries with the black one. Replacements are $200. or so.

Verde, I would appreciate pictures. Who did the work for you? If your free sometime, I would like to check out the look.

There's no such thing as over the top. I think it'd look unique and classy with the GT3 front as it's not too far off the Porsche OEM designs. With the Cargraphic kit people will always wonder what type of 911 your driving.

That's my take as well. But actually, net net it has just exceeded my expectations and has radically changed the overall look of the car for the better. The stance and proportions have changed very visibly. And, though it hurt the first time I scuffed the bottom on a driveway, not nearly as much as if it had been a painted part. (and it was not visible; always 'under' the part)

Would also love to see pics. Where was the GT3 bumper bought from.
I would assume it would also fit a 997.2

I'll post pictures within the day. BTW, I'm not the only one who has done this. I believe Cattman has as well.
That said, I would make no such assumptions that it fits a .2. The front end looks a bit different on those (LED's), and I'm sure they've made subtle changes in the design. But that's just speculation.
