Crazed1, did you get around to installing yours yet? Are you just throwing this on like the others in the pics or any custom touches? 
I have one being shipped to me as we speak for my black Cayman S
The sides and the back are fine Dep....what do you want out of this car? Its a GREAT looking car --- just needs to sit a little lower and needs a 'stronger chin' and i think its done. Ok, wheels too. and more power. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There is really much involved to do it right...
The words of Doug:
1) Install cover to vehicle
2) Block the cover on the vehicle to fit
3) Remove cover, body work edges, glaze coat lower spots
4) In paint booth spray poly primer
5) Block poly primer
6) In paint booth spray primer
7) Wet sand block primer
8) Mix base coat, check color, custom tint to match
9) In booth spray sealer, spray base coat, spray clear coat
10) Custom cut and fit mesh, install cover
11) Color sand and polish new paint.
12) Detail and done

Well, here is the amount of prep work...If you have a Paint/Body backround, then I would say this could be a DIY project!!!

Thanks for that !! What does "Block" mean ?(sanding maybe ? ) Im guessing this is an American term ?(Im from the UK) And could you tell me please how the mesh grills are held in place ? Im guessing some form of glue/ epoxy resin , if so what type ? Many thanks .

Personally i think the GT3 front is the only body mod the car "needs" and i dont think it throws the lines of the car off in any way. All it needs then is a nice drop and its a whole different car.
There is a member on Cayman Club/Planet Porsche (whatever they call themselves this week) that has a Black Cayman S with GT3 front end lowered on H&R Springs w/19 oem wheels and the car is PERFECT in my mind. Hope mine turns out just like that (+ some other little knick nacks i have planned
