New Front Installed: Fresh Out of the Body Shop

I've been fighting my urges to mod the heck out of this car, but after 2.5 years of blissful ownership, I feel it's now the time to get to work on this thing.

Can you spot the newest mod?

Just waiting for the weather to finish getting warmer to install the rest of the mods, should be fun. Lots of big changes, lots of carbon to be installed, a big go fast mod, some new seats, interior carbon, and some custom work waiting to be finished. Only thing I will leave stock is the wheels. Well, I absolutely love these wheels, and well the other reason is before I had a bad habit of constantly changing wheels, so the one moral I will adhere to is no changing wheels... lol we'll see how long that lasts.

The goal of the project is to make the car an all around better car, aethetically, drivability, power, handling. But no bling bling crap here or wild stripes or garbage, or indo-slam drops, I'm done building cars for magazines, ideally, I want aggressive enough for a discerning eye to see but for the lay person to not look twice. Hopefully I will accomplish it. When I first saw the Cayman, I thought it would be a great project car to build in my head a mini cgt.

Alex, if you are reading this, I really need those black mesh screens, I'll order shortly.

Crappy point and shoot pic, will take pics this weekend with my rig and normal gear.



edit: added a pic with a little better lighting, the brightness on these pics had to be jacked way up to get to this visibility, check back tomorrow for real pics if you are interested.

Cool combination of the GT3 bumper on the Cayman S!

VERY nice GT3 front! I have the same one, I think it's the best front end for a 997 (I like it better than the TT front bumper).

Did you have to make a lot of modifications for it to fit?

Cobalt987S is an unknown quantity at this point
Gt3 front looks great and you got the ride height just right.
