I think it could look better, but I won't complain too much. The main areas for me are the wheels, fog light, and LED turn signals on the front bumper - if they were more integrated it would look much smoother. The 997TT, IMHO, doesn't flow as nicely as they used to. Maybe this will all change once I see it in person though.

I am not too crazy about the wheels either, but at least I think they will be a lot easier to clean due to the grayish finish on the inside areas.

It's not exactly a 'clean' looking car, the wheels are good, the side vents are overdone.

overall, i think the gt3 is the nicest looking kit in the 997 series period.
just right. not overdone at all.

In my opinion the wheels are very good...and are pretty useful too...but maybe Porsche will give more choices in future!

I like the 997tt, but I was expecting something closer to the 993tt.

i agree. the 997 turbo, mechanicals and advancements aside, looks aesthetically like a piece of s^$%. its not well put together by any means. the side vents are a combo of the 996 and 80's art. the rear valence aside from the integrated pipes looks like an after market kit for the 996TT. the wheels are obviously wierd. the front looks way less aggressive than the gt3. the stance doesnt look any wider. and to cap it off, i showed a pic of both the 996tt and the 997tt to 3 friends of mine (none of which have any idea or care about cars in general) and asked them which they thought was the newer, updated model and two of them pointed to the 996TT stating, "the headlights look newer"

Its not a matter of being nicer or newer.. Who gives a crap!! The most important thing is that YOU like it and thats that. IMO, I have had 5 996's and 3 of them were TT. I think the new 997 *** is by far much better looking than the 996TT. reguardless of that what about the interior and fit and finish.. I think the 997 interior along with the seats and the whole dashboard is kick-***!!
Last week I drove a 997 for the first time(997s) and all I kept saying is that I cant imagine this car with 150 more hp!!!
And also, its hard to make opinions with the front end or any other angle of the 997TT; You gotta wait to see it in person.
All I can say is that a couple of weeks ago I saw a 997C4S and all I kept thinking was how sick that rear end was even without the wing..
The new turbo is gonna be sick!! Its gonna blow you away just like every other turbo did in the past when they hit the streets..
