Did you not scrole down to see the images of the REAL 997 GT-3 Cup cars with the headlight covers? Looks exactly the same. Look at the begining of this post they are on the first page. They cover up the fog lights just like I did.

Yes, I saw the pics, but I never said I liked them either  I like the street version with the lights. As you pointed out, it's my opinion. Now if there was a option to add the lights, I would all over that bumper with the quickness.

You can add the lights to this bumper. But trust me all that glas does not work with the shape of our headlights. It works great with the shape of the round 997 stock ones. And like I said if you want them completely deleted, you can buy the one sold at NR Auto.

Thanks for letting me know
I looked up the website you said you purchased the bumper from, but didn't see it available. Maybe I missed this, but how much does it run? I agree that the 997 oval lights would look better, but DJ's chop didn't look bad at all.

wow, that's hot.
Very close to what I like in the following attached picture.
I love aggressive front bumper.  BTW, if the skirt can be a litter more aggressive, it will be perfect!

Well, all I can say is this. Everyone who sees it in person likes it. The photos don't do my car any justice. I used a wide angle lense to take the pictures. I was trying to be artistic like always. I agree about the side ground effects. I think I will switch them out later when I have done everything else I want to do first. The flexability of the new bumper is what really sold me compared to the fiberglass old one I had.

What you just said  I have never had this much difficulties to decide about one single thing in my entire life (rough life I know)
Could I bother you for one shoot from the side, if that makes sense? So we can see how BIG it is or not
Thanks a bunch
(see attached image for angle)

You asked for it. Here it is. As you can see from these side shots, the bumper does not stick out any further than the stock front bumper. Only the bottom lip does by a few inches for aerodynamic purposes. It makes the car look 8 years newer, nice and round, much more modern.
