Just ordered sideskirts...

^ you got a steal...I paid $1000 for the GT3 bumper.
With the skirting I don't think you need to lower the car. It fills up the area under the doors nicely, kinda give the impression of the car being wider and lower.
Also, if you're roads are rough I would skip lowering the car. That really wears down a car and things start to come loose and the rattling gets annoying.

Yes lowering is not an option, I drive on very bad roads everyday, downtown atlanta. I agree completely though, in a perfect world with perfect streets I think the bigger the wheels and the lower the car the better...

Now that I know that the 996 bumper sits at least a little lower, I think that's what I'll go for. My skirts would match the gt3 bumper perfectly, but I can't count on finding one for that great of deal.

I doubt the car will look too bad with the 996 front bumper because it's a factory bumper, most people probably won't be able to tell it's been changed. Maybe if I get lucky I'll find one in seal gray.

BTW if anyone sees a stock 996 bumper for sale let me know. All I can find on 6 speed are 996t bumpers....

do a google search on the part numbers. i found my GT3 bumper that way; it turned up in a warehouse of surplus parts. i called the company & made them an offer on it; obviously they took it.

IMHO, if you want to do this right, since you got the aerokit side skirts, I think you should touch it off by getting the aerokit GT3 OEM front bumper that was made to match the skirts. As you can see, it looks absolutely great in seal grey:

ggggggorgeous

i shudder to imagine the cost of the front bumper and side skirts... but that would make my car look wowzah...

is there a rear bumper for the aerokit that swaps to the 986 also?

No there isnt....Thats why I opted for the 2003-2004 bumper with no bumperettes. This really really finishes off the Aero Kit without adding that wing on the rear trunk lid.

The rear treatment of the GT3 aerokit consists of a spoiler on the rear deck lid.

Here's a sideview with the rear spoiler. Keep in mind, part of the reason his car looks so good is because of the Techart wheels too.

I remember this car. He wrecked it awhile back in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
