So this would def require someone to "man up" and cut a hole in their bumper like this guy did... And I'm fairly certain there's not many that would consider it

I have no problem cutting the bumper cover. I'm more interested in seeing how the lines work with the Panamera with this piece installed. If I pull the trigger, I will do write up.

Yes. Just making sure. So you can't really formulate an opinion of how it will look on a Panama, right?

Oh. I though that was a picture of a Panamera with it done. Seems like you could use an editing program to make it happen?

Great idea! I guess I need to get the dimensions of the vent somehow. Maybe go to the dealership and see if they have a GT3.

Have you googled an oem replacement vent? Sometimes those have the measurements.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from OAKLEYdesign, I did not get paid to share these pics.

Well, I legit just stumbled onto this eBay listing for a 970 Turbo carbon fiber lip, but noticed it also had a carbon GT3 smile vent... Here are some pics.

I gotta say, it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, but I'm still not willing to cut a chunk out of my front bumper.

Hmm, not bad but i feel like it should be wider...like the entire width of the hood. It just reminds me of Charlie Chaplin's mustache.
