I really like the front bumper, nice lines and clean looking. I would love to have those rear diffusors!

Never thought I'd say this, but bring the amber side markers back -unless you plan on getting clear headlights. Yellow is one of the few colors that amber looks acceptable with.

Looks good! Can't you hear her SCREAMING for 18s?

Hey Ezeks,

I just bought the same front bumper from Precision Porsche. It is Poly for sure. I was surprised at how flexible it was/is. Thought I got ripped off. My body shop guy says it's fine and will work good. Looking forward to getting it back.
I didn't order the skirts but think I probably will
Your car looks great. Congrats!

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of de-ambering all the way, but since he's still got amber in the headlights, it would balance out better with the orange markers.

Once the new headlights arrive, he can go back to the smoked look.

Hey Couper make sure you body guy adds the flexing agents to the paint and the clear. That will prevent your paint from cracking, your right it really is flexible. Also make sure you body guy works over the bumper good as we had lots of small air pockets in mine that we had to sand and fill before we primed it.

You guys are right on the amber lights, the headlights are on the list to go but the wheels are coming first. Not sure if I'm going with 18's or 19's.

Thanks for that tip. i'll make sure he adds the flexing agents. I've never heard of that but I hope he has. I also upgraded to Litronic with wiring harness. Those are going in this week with the new wheels as well. Thanks again!

I want so badly to put some black 18's with a polished lip on my car but, my next mod is exhaust. The stock 18's don't look bad and I'd like a little more pep at this time.

I just have so many plans and not enough to fund it. The story of a Porsche owners life.

I know the feeling, not enough funds to justify all the mods you want. I turned a bad situation into a good one. I was in an accident with about 10k in damage. Instead of replacing all stock parts I upgraded to all the mods I wanted. New wheels, Turbo front bumper, litronic headlights, clear side markers. I threw in some extras to like upgraded taillights and clear 3rd breaklight. Should be out of the shop this week so I'll post some pics then.
