Thanks!! it's the lumma or sometimes called the reiger, the fit and make of the kit is really good, no extra efforts in fitting. just had to move the fog lights closer inwards, but wasn't an issue as the fogs actually have two sides it could be mounted. i did not get side skirts as i didn't like the skirts they offered.

Have you thought about quad tips? I think it'd be a nice touch to that rear bumper. It's an aggressive rear valence so I think a more aggressive looking exhaust (read: quad) will look better. Come on, those single tips look lonely hehe...

Sweet ride.
The exhaust on the right looks like it's behind the bumper opening and the one on the left goes thru the opening? optical illusion?

i have not seen it in person but did not like the look on the pics. the grill i am getting from m7, there is an insert, but you just fill it in with a black sticker.

Yup those are the TechART tips and they are real black chrome, they look SCHAWEET on the Porsches. And the price I'm almost positive is a bit higher than the posted $600, IIRC it's about $900 for the set.

msb2gt, have you looked at the Fabspeed tips? They make some TechART style tips for the 996TT for about half the price. I'm sure you could get a set of those fitted to your exhaust, it would look AMAZING!

thanks!
i may have a set of stock one's from my tt, but not a techart one, i'll have to look around for my set in my storage shed. maybe i'll get those black chromed then slap it on.

paulr:thanks, i was going down that road but figured i'd see what the painted dash looks like first then try to get other stuff painted as i go along.
