Techart is a MUST !

If im going to shy away from the 360 you better believe im going to make the 996 have an edgy look , i dont want to have a porsche that looks like everyone elses...

in CT they are out and about, rarley do i see modified ones unless i go to a tune shop.

From my research it looks like the TA front bumper, TA sideskirts are most desirable with rear bumper no so much

I want that high wing as well

im so pumped i can bearly sleep

Have you seen the MA Shaw front bumper? A lot cheaper than TA and still a much better look than stock IMHO.

Here's some shots of mine.

looks good thanks for posting !

i like the depth of the ducts in the TA, as well as the lines that run bottom of bumber.

Im pretty solid on the TA front choice ( for now )

I prefer the MA Shaw GT2 type bumper much better. However, if you are really going after a super aggressive look, TA is the route to get there. TA body parts are expensive so if you don't mind that you can get a GT2 wing also and maybe even a Euro bumper. You will also need to put coil overs for handling and to lower it and probably some good 3 piece wheels. Total price for the above will be north of $20k.

that puts me back into the 360 price range sort of speak, the downside is all the attention id get driving a ferarri would make it a pain to enjoy as often as a porsche

If you run into a good deal go with the 360.

But the 360 is so S L O W. You can get those parts as replicas from Precision for a lot less I think.

Is the grill in front of the hook on the Mashaw bumper part of the actual bumper? Or is it a seperate grill insert? if its the same piece as the bumper that is the only downfall.

The grill isn't in front of the hook location, and there's no cutout in the bumper for it. Yes, that's an issue. You can only tow from the rear. But the front is so low using the rear is probably better anyway!

The grills come from MA Shaw, but are pop riveted in after it's painted or however you want to put them in.

Some people drill a hole for the hook and cover it with the thing from bumper plugs.
