I concur, with spoiler lip... IMO the biggest visual impact one can make to the front end of the 986 is litronics if not already equipped.

Who sells them?
Also, any recommendations for the rear bumper cover? Any way to remove the warts? Mine got clipped so I want to take advantage of the opportunity to change things up.

2003-2004 Bumper... followed by 996 MkII (2002-2004) front-end conversion which will need your fenders and headlights replaced.

I can't seem to find a picture of what I did, but I removed the warts or bumperettes and replaced them with a blank plate. I then mounted the license plate over top of it. I used a perforated metal that looked pretty darn good IMHO. I know another member here used a black plexiglass blank (their picture attached). I had a few of these blanks made up and bought the trim for them, but never did anything with them. If you want one, let me know and I can probably part with one cheap as I now have a Gemballa rear bumper and don't really see myself going back to stock.

If you like the style, the Caractere bumper shown in your photo is a very high quality piece. Be cautious, however, there are a few "knock offs" of their design out there.

No what I've got are the black pelxiglass inserts like in the photo.
For my arctic silver car I had installed the perforated metal blank and painted it silver.

Kirk - PM me with how much you'd like for the blanks. Does the underlying metal structure unbolt from the bumper beam? I have to admit that I haven't done more than a cursory look. Thanks.
