    GT3 nose fitted on Turbo

    What do you guys think of the GT3 nose fitted on the turbo ?

    Re: GT3 nose fitted on Turbo

    Personally I like the GT3 nose much better than the TT. It looks more aggressive.

    However I don't think switching front ends is a good idea.

    That's a 997 TT front end with a hood vent. Not a GT3 nose.

    To me it looks quite nice.My question is: can you fit it without any temperature issue?

    Re: GT3 nose fitted on Turbo

    The pics are too small to really tell. Different angles would help, specially seeing more of the side, but my first impression is that it gives it a more aggressive look, that works well too.

    Re: GT3 nose fitted on Turbo

    I think the GT3 front is a bit overdone. If it weren't for the spoiler, I think I'd like the GT3 rear better though.

    Why put a Gt3 nose on a Turbo?? Why would you you want it to look like it's lesser sibling?????

    I wouldn't really call it a lesser sibling when a GT3 is faster than a Turbo on a track...

    I love the look of both the GT3 and Turbo, but I don't think that GT3 front looks right on the Turbo. It needs the rest of the aero kit to look right, in my opinion.

    Re: GT3 nose fitted on Turbo

    It's funny, I love the GT3 nose on a GT3, it fits, but it looks wrong on the turbo. It needs the GT3 rear to balance it out.

    But, if it makes you happy.....

    Re: GT3 nose fitted on Turbo

    TT looks horrible in light silver anyway. They look great in slate/black if you want to hide some design features, or red/yellow for fun.

    Agreed with the other people out there though: the GT3 nose belongs on the GT3.

    I like it, no offense but the TT in certain angles specially when in your rear view mirror resembels the Boxster S.

    I like it alot, but the cost is prohibitive let alone what major bodywork does to your resale.

    Hi and greetings from the UK. My 997 TT is Atlas grey and has the fron vent a la GT3 but the turbo front. Looks OK to me!

    Great forum, and lots to learn.

    Cheers

    Is it functional? Looks great, but I'd still be concerned about resale with a irreversable mod like that

    Negligable functionality, I expect, but it won't be for sale for some time!

    Re: GT3 nose fitted on Turbo

    The overall look is not bad, but I suppose it just makes it very confusing, because that style is very much supposed to be reserved for the GT3.
