The Cargraphic carbon lip and wheels. Simply elegant and sporty in one shot in a cost effective manor.

If money isn't a factor then the RUF bumpers are my all time favorite right now for the 997.

I love that lip spoiler.....cheap and great mod! In a totally carbon fiber free car DJ told me to go with carbon one anyway for durability or go with painted blk one and have it sealed up....thanks, buddy!

I completely agree with you DJ. I think simplicity is the best with this car and it should never be overdone. I'm going to keep my 997 simple and just drop it on the iForged Senekas I already have and just add an exhaust and that Cargraphic lip in CF.

Should add that finishing touch to any cab. Hate huge spoilers and wings on cabs especially on something as sexy as the C4's. My favorite looking Porsche 996 is the C4s Cab.

I am so happy that we all agree that the 997 cab (esp. wide body C4) is the one porsche that looks worse with mods! i have made up my mind that wheels, lip spoiler, and side markers are enough to keep this sexy beast lookin' good!

It's good that the lip spoiler is cheap b/c you will break at least one. Cabs don't lend themselves to much in the way of rear spoilers and almost every car can be bettered with some change in wheels. 997 is just a bit cleaner in lines but certainly least-changed of all 911 evolutions. The 997 C4 cab drives well when driven sedately and I'll get a chance to beat on it, err, drive sportingly tomorrow.

yea i find it somewhat humorous that some of you find this lip inexpensive or "cheap". Coming from a G35, it seems like every part for this car is twice+ as expensive which will cut my modding down to a bare minimum. I'm hoping I can get away with just 1 lip and nor breaking it because I have to save up to get just one.

I love these wheels ... but I'll say it again like I always do ... I'll order some as soon as they come out with a new generation wheel where the wheel spokes go ALL THE WAY to the LIP ...
