Lonewolfgjp Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hi there I’ve tried two different front splitters and two rear diffusers. If you find my thread in members rides there are some decent pictures 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 911 front splitter with the Emc2 fitting kit but ground clearance becomes a bit of an issue. I managed to rip it off entertaining an underground car park of a hotel in Belgium. So unfortunately took it off. It looked ok though when fitted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljcarr Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Just the standard suspension, just looking for something to finish the front end off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to see them on your car, so now know what they will look like on mine as it’s white like yours 👍🏻 here’s a few pics of mine, only had it a couple of months. Sorry for some reason it’s not letting me add pictures either by adding photos from my album or using url link ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I'd love to say that I've never looked back after fitting the sports design front end to mine but that would be a lie, I do it all the time because it looks so good now. https://images.app.goo.gl/CcA9jwPXvcRXBp918 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have doubts it's what you need to do to find fulfilment with it, a splitter will never be enough. It really lifts the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljcarr Posted March 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 To be honest I prefer the standard bumper, it’s a personal thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) I was out in mine today running my mom around on Mother’s Day and I have to say the standard bumper with my latest splitter on it looks awesome. I think is gives the front a bit more aggression with out trying to hard and matches the factory styling. I do like the GTS front bumper and think it looks great but it is an expensive option. I think the Spyder rear spoiler and the Spyder rear diffuser make a huge difference and definitely worth looking into. I’m still on the fence about the GT4 side scoops, one day I really like them and other days I’m not sure 🤔 I will see what they look like on a sunny day with the roof down and see what I think. Today I liked them 😂 Edited March 19, 2023 by Lonewolfgjp 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 If I were to begin my 981 journey again with everything I know now, I think the priority would be the ride height, the car with whichever, bumper, splitter, diffuser, lights just looks so much better with the x73 setting at -20mm. I'm sure I would have ended up doing it all anyway but that's got to be the biggest bang for your buck at the expense of some of the low speed ride quality of course. I'm hoping to get my front light inners from the old lights I've been refurbing from the painter today, looking forward to seeing how they will look rebuilt and on the car.

Totally agree, the lowered stance gives the car a much sportier look and seems to enhance the lines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long after buying mine I had PSE and the x73 retro fitted. PSE worth it for smiles per mile and the x73 just really transformed the car. Big money but no regrets. Front 911 splitter with Emc2 fitting kit in picture lost when entering an underground car park 😳😂 It was a steep downward ramp into the car park mind 😂😳 Edited March 20, 2023 by Ringmaster999 Additional info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljcarr Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Thank you so much everybody for your contribution to this thread, just as I thought many mixed views and different opinions. I presume without really hearing any of these and experience them, it’s hard to make a decision based on other peoples personal views.
