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

I was thinking the same, I am so glad I did it.
You get used to it, when you come to the speed bump just go side way.
You saw my car same color as yours, it would look Hot!

Note, Porsche and others highly reccomend doing a rear spoiler/wing if you do the GT3 front end. Must be to keep the car aero balanced.

It's an OEM part. Suncoast is also a Porsche dealer. My local Porsche parts dept quoted $650.00 for a GT3RS steering wheel, $450.00 from Suncoast.

The only wing install I have at the moment is on my GT3 RS. I'll post pics when I start the 997C2S project.

The GT3 front is the best looking but because it's so popular, I too would opt for the turbo front.
It's very subtle but any Porsche fanatic can always distinguish a Turbo from a 997 from the front and I think it will look fabulous.
The GT3 front is more in-your-face, flashy, showy, great looking, but doesn't have the bad-*** edginess of the GT3 to back it up
Btw, carnewal sells the Turbo bumper kit for 997s for $3500
