it looks like you need the splitter at the bottom of the Turbo bumper to make it look right. That's going to limit your clearance. And if the splitter is fiberglass and not polyurethane then its just asking for trouble. Or maybe it looks okay without the splitter.

I have the factory GT3 which is polyurethane and very impact ressistant. It sits pretty low but when there's scraping from going over a 'sleeping policeman' (aka speed bump) or sloping drive way, the scraping is underneath where you can't see it and since I don't need a splitter there's nothing for it to catch onto and cause damage.

Come to think of it the splitter looks a little funny being that it comes from the 996 parts bin and on that car its intended to work with a rear spoiler and that's just not part of the 986 aero package.

p.s.
I wonder how long it will be until we see a 981 front bumper and headlight kit with new fenders and all. There are so many 986/987 out there now I'm sure many will want to get that Ferrari look.
