Here is the 997 GT3 Front Bumper.. Anyone using it? Pros and Cons? The only downside is that it would be difficult to drive in the snow.. Guess I'm not too worried about the future snow fall here in San Diego :D Let me know what you guys think

That GT3 bumper looks great!

The only problem with that bumper is that you will also need sideskirts to make the side view look right. If you don't add the sideskirts, the bumper will make the car look nose heavy.

Nice car, by the way. I like your wheel choice. I also like the color combination. ;)

The 997 has totally different lights, they must have to do special cuts to make it fit. Is there a company making these to fit 986's?

looks great...but my opinion may not count so much to you as it may be biased...

...anyway I think that bumper cover is made to fit the 986..no custom cuts required. That is maybe my favorite bumper slightly ahead of the older GT3 911 version.

I really like the look of the 996 turbo front end on the 986. It is really clean look that looks natural. the 997 front end on the 986 looks a little out of place and a little to "aftermarket" to me.

just another guys' opinion-

Good luck

I see what you mean by the look, but to me the 996 turbo front looks more aftermarket.. Maybe just my opinion... but every opinion is welcomed since it helps me out more
