Been trying to look at these pics for two days, filters were blocking me.
I thought this was a bad idea at first because I figured you were going to replace the fried eggs with those VW bug lights on the 997. I HATE those lights...
And even if you had told me your keeping the frieg eggs but adding the 997 GT3 bumper, I would have still said it was a bad idea.
but looking at the photos I can say I was wrong. It came out very well, definitely a head turner and goes well with the hard edge of the wheel design, but I think you need more robust skirting since it's no longer a subtle and fluid design. The 986 GT2 bumper doesn't really do it for me unless its with the 02-04 996 Turbo lights, this GT3 look is much better. I can tell just by looking at the photos that you used a a high end shop or one does very good work. I hate it when I see all these cars with kits and the paint work is crap and there are gaps in the aero.
p.s.
I think skipping the lights on the bumper was a good idea. Although it would be more "complete" with actual lights there, I don't think that juxtaposition of rectangular lights beneath round lights works on the 997 GT3 at all. To me it looks like a mish mash of a VW Bug-Mazda Rx8 or one worse.. one of those riced out S2000 body kits with six sets of blue headlights. Maybe photoshop those rectangular covers in black? might work as just a design element.
p.s.s.
Deamber those Litronics!!!!
