something is lacking on this car. the fl rear lights look to tame with the rear wing. just doesn't look right to me.
I agree... it just looks a little weird.

Seems like they simplified the design of the whole car. I like that! However, the front is still a bit cluttered. The effect is now that the rear bumper looks MASSIVE, but that could also be because of the different color. Overall: Big thumbs up for me!

Its funny to see how porsche have pulled there usual lazy design philosophy!
996 GT3 mk I... Wiggle spoiler design... 996 GT3 mkt II... More standard big horizontal wing
997 GT3 mk I... Wiggle spoiler design... 997 GT3 mkt II... More standard big horizontal wing
Anyway, prefer it to the Mk I however if / when I get around to taking my very own 997 GT3 mk I or II the first thing I would do is swap out the rear spoiler for an RS item which looks so very much better
Thanks for helping us with the pics. I agree with some that the design does not appear to be as cohesive as the original, but facelifts rarely do look as cohesive as the original. However, it may grow on me, especially if the mechanicals are significantly enhanced.

I have to dissagree with the above. I think most times the face lift looks better than the original. Just my opinion but I think the 996 GT3 MKII looks much better than the MKI.
I almost think when they design the car they then make a few changes to insure the next version looks better.

Here's my attempt of the rear in black. I much prefer this FL to the 2008 - especially the front end.
I am starting to prefer the 997.1 tail lights to the 997.2 - I felt just the opposite when the .2 first came out. I guess that will happen when you look at this stuff too much.
Any way, here is the rear:
