Very nice! By the way, where'd you get that sticker of the porsche crest on your windscreen? I like that a lot! I may want to put that one on mine. thanks!

Bumper looks good, but the gap above the clear side marker looks big. Can you "tighten" it up any?

What inspired you to do the bumper? Do you think it needs side skirts now (+1 PerfectLap)?

Before you do side skirts (if that's in the plans), your car is screamin' for wheel spacers! It's cheaper than skirts and you'd be amazed at the difference this subtle change can make. Do it, do it!

Looks nice but the GT3 bumper looks too "heavy" without the side skirts IMO. Also those Carrera lightweight wheels have a "light" look to them. Some Turbo II style wheels might match better because they have a wider spoke, heavier look.

on the sticker, I assume you mean the porsche one in the center, I got that from ebay. It looks great, It has that "etched glass" look to it.

on the bumper I know it does make the front look heavy, I really like the GT-3 look, but I do think side skirts will be necessary to fill the look out more....I didn't really want them, but it does not look finished.

on the wheels, I really, really like the lt. wts look. You can really see the S calipers thru them, they are light, and I like simple wheels.

BTW I have a set of "turbo look" wheels (the original stock wheels) if anybodyis looking for some wheels. They are straight, but do have some rash.
