How much work would it take to put a 997 TT front bumper on a 997C4?

Wheelbase is different than width - I thought you said the RS was the widest of all. Wheelbase of 2360mm = 92.9 in. and wheelbase of 2350mm = 92.5 in. so I don't disagree with you on the wheelbase dimensions. Maybe it was using the red letters and all caps that got you confused unless of course you're measuring width differently than the rest of us.

Like Brennan said,

I'm pretty sure the RS is the same width as the other widebody 997's (turbo, 4, 4s etc) Wheelbase is NOT directly proportional with width nor are they the same.

also, id go with the GT3 front, but it looks like the turbo front has more clearance, which is a plus for me.
I saw EVO 997tt (Silver) & IA 997tt (yellow) also change the front bumper to GT3, as I recall it took them 10 - 15 hr at the shop to make it work right. Now! You want to change the 997 front to 997tt, it will be very expense you will be the first. Let us know how much the final cost?

Good for you, the Turbo front might be a hassle to install.

If a had a 997 TT I'd trade you. I think the TT front is ugly. Go with a GT3 front. It's the nicest out of them all.

I like them both equally, its just that the GT3 front's lack of clearance scares me. What I'll probably do is run the GT3 front with an unpainted lip, that way, if it gets messed up I can always replace it easily w/o much cost.

I'm doing the GT3 front bumper cover. Hope to have it here later this week.

I would LOVE to do it too, but am concerned with hitting it on the speed bumps on my area.

Glad to hear, I think you like it more it the long run and good idea of leaving the lower lip unpainted.

the wheelbase are all the same on the 911 platform.
the cars width vary based on models from c2/c2s..c4/c4s..gt3..tt..etc.

for Gods sake it's not c2s and gt3rs LI (like bmws long wheelbase).

Good choice on the GT3 front. Leave the lips unpainted, and when its really messed up, get a new lip. Its like 100.00 or something around there.

The wheelbases are different on the GT3 (2355mm) and GT3RS (2360mm) - the other 997's are 2350mm.
