This could probably be my first major mod after seeing yours, and I will be calling on your body shop when I do it.
Very nice. Let us know how you get on with the electrical issue.
Dave.

I don't know if it's the GT3 vent on the top of the bumper or the painted front lip but the car looks really aggressive! I love it!!!

Keep us posted on the front LED's. Also, did you get any error messages from not having one of the original bulbs hooked up? I think I am thinking of the original turn signal bulb.

i think another member worked on the same project on a white C4S and he said he had no problems at all and everything was plug and play and worked perfectly..

I got left / right indicator light errors but my shop removed the message for me and had the side markers switch to blinkers until I get the module I'm missing ordered in. ( to have some sort of turn indicators for the front ) lol.

Your car looks great, I like the way the conversion came out. I like all the other mods too, wheels, tails, tint all come together nicely

I like it, but now you need the Turbo/GT3 rear bumper , and I'd love to see how the Turbo spoiler looks on that car!

Mods

Yeah, I've been inspired by Roadrage's mod. I prefer the GT2 nose; looks cleaner if you're gonna go that route. Tempted but I don't wanna deal w/the LED issue. I know you figured it out on your C4S (loved that cab) but cost is also a factor. 997 GT3.1 front and rear bumpers are looking more likely. What's next for you. Never even saw your TT (or the gal sitting on the fender).

yeah Ryan when I had my c4s, it was a nightmare because at the time no one was doing it, but now its pretty common, and I found the right people to fix that problem which is one of the board sponsor A.I design in Tuckahoe NY. Safe to say they only work on high end car ex: Mclaren, Bugatti's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Bentleys, Porsche's etc......Ask for Todd or Matt, good guys.

I must say the scramble of finding someone to do it, and not only do it, but also to do a professional job was the only nightmare, after that it was smooth sailing, no check engine or other lights came on in the vehicle. Thats why you have to be careful who you have work on your car. I did my research and PePe Porsche deals with them all the time to handle all their aftermarket needs, so safe to say I was going into this knowing my baby was in good hands with them. A.I design took good care of me, and the total cost wasn't too costly for the outcome of the new led look........

@ NYC_Z06 Yeah Im waiting for the new 991's (998's) to come out, I have my eyes set on that, they should be here by next summer
