    Don't like the bottom pic at all. Looks like a goldfish on steriods.

    Re: Which front looks more

    The top one (stock) looks more agressive compared to the cluttered and pointlessly busy looking one below.

    Form Follows Function (true for the most part).

    Sorry for being blunt, just following the lead of the posts above.

    Re: Which front looks more

    The second pic looks sportier and more agressive no doubt IMO. BUt make no mistake guys, this is the same as the 997GT3's bumper, its not for looks like on a C4S. Its reason is to achieve decreased lift compared to stock bumper and better brake cooling, so form follows funtion on this one.

    And once the GT3 is out on the street and people get used it then it will look even more agressive. Of course expect some initial resentment from some 997S owners

    But maybe it looks better like this

    Re: Which front looks more





    I like very much the front spoiler of 996 TT or GT2 , even 4S... or "911 40 Jahre"
    I see that front more agresive than the 2nd pic of 997

    Re: Which front looks more

    The stock bumper makes the car smile...don't know how to say it otherwise. I never really liked the front bumper of the 997.

    As for the 2nd pic, the bumper is a bit too complicated and fussy. Although it looks sportier. A much simple, sportier one would do better than stock.

    Nontheless The yellow 997 with the stupid rear spoiler is ugly.

    Who thinks the new Boxster has a more aggressive front?

    From a design point of view, I think Porsche made a mistake regarding the front hood. The 997 looks too "friendly", not aggressive enough. And I doubt they can change it without changing the shape of the front hood. I'm not a designer but this is my personal opinion. It doesn't have anything to do with the front bumper or front spoiler, it is the shape of the front hood.

    Re: Which front looks more

    Typical Porsche, just all the other edition, the first one looks clean and slick, the second one mayb not please anybody, but that's not the point, like carlos said, form follows function. Second one is much more aggressive too.
    I personally prefer the first one I think.
    Having said that, in the 996 gen, I think the GT3 mk2 spoiler looked great, cleaner!

    Ocean; it looks like the RT12, because RUF shaped its front to look like the front of the earlier released pictures of the race 997 GT3...

    Re: Which front looks more

    BTW; I find the "C4S with aerokit" so unbelievable... why the hell would they do that? It would be either the C4s, or an aerokit, but the combo... just does not make sense to me.
    BTW; am I the only one who actually seems to like the exhausts?
