    Problem with my boring looking 997 C2S Cab. FRONT END

    I hate the front end on my 997 C2S cab., and Porsche will not let you install the front end of the Aerokit without the rear wing, because of downforce issues. what am I to do to give my C2S Cab. a more aggressive looking front spoiler!!!

    I just found the ultimate solution: speedART 997 front chin spoiler in original carbon and carbon-look

    naaa..IMO your car has an exotic look and carbon is too sporty ,dont match... there should be a way to install the aerokit front end alone.. check techart!

    Re: Problem with my boring looking 997 C2S Cab. FRONT END

    hey! waynak! yesterday I switched my wheel and tires to the new XRR in GT Silver... they're wider... the car looks awesome... the PSE is on the way... all that is left is the front bumper, which is boring... the areokit rear wing doesns't fit, because the retractable piece under which the hood lies will hit the wing when your taking the top down... and porsche is against installing only the front spoiler... balance may be affected at high speed due to a change in front downforce... although at SpeedART they say that the stock retractable rear spoiler is enough to balance the car, with an aerokit/GT3 spoiler in the front...

    If that bumper works for you then go for it! Concerning the XRR, IMO they look niceeee due to the wider rear wheels (305 instead of 295) but as wheel design I guess they are ot winners... What you can do (this is what I will do) is to get 305 tires on your own wheels... It is doable... No worries about it. I prefer my SportDesign wheels (got install the 5mm spacers, and now they look awesome), what do you have?
    PSE wise, I think that Ramzi have done a gr8 job showing you my car while installing it last week (that's what he told me...) and let me tell you that it is the best thing I have ever bought! So Good Luck!

    Sorry. All that red Porsche is missing now is a Honda emblem, a giant wing, and a tattoo'd 19-year-old kid laid back in the driver's seat with his arm out the window....

    Geez that chin spoiler looks like it would make 75% of all driveways off limits. I dunno if I'd want to go that far because you know you're gonna look the fool to bystanders when you are forced to use said driveways.

    I can't find the @#$%^& picture but I have one (had?) of a 997 with the front end that looks like the CGT. THAT one I would consider getting. Looks serious and gorgeous, not "frilly" and overly perforated.

    that looks better than the carbon fiber one. Also, if you put that on the front, you'd need side skirts & something for the rear to balance it all out
