996 GT2 front bumper on a 996TT
Discussion
Honestly, if ppl can't give any decent advice on this forum they shouldn't even bother IMHO!
Yes you can do it and yes it would look very good, I know a few that have done it (see if I can find pics and send them on to you)
You might need the internal scoops that will flow the air, but it's all an easy fit!

What kind of garbage advice was that? (not you Stevo, it's me jimmer23) This place gets worse every day. 
It looks great! And you're not going to f-up your aerodynamics by putting it on - really dumb comment. There are a number of companies who make very good replicas. With the OEM GT2 front bumper, you have to reposition the middle rad, and trim the bumper supports and ductwork. With the replicas you do not.

Even for the 996 Carrera Aerokit Porsche would not let you have the fixed rear spoiler without also buying the front lip spoiler (a tiny piece of plastic runing under the bumper) as the aero would be adversly affected,(I know of 2 people on PCGB that have done this and suffered front end lift at speed, that was rectified once they put the front spoiler on)It looks great!

So you can absoutely be sure that just changing the front bumper of the TT to a GT2 version and not altering the rear absolutely will affect the aero as they are meant to work together as a package not separately.
Get your facts right before jumping on your high horse. Rolleyes etc

There are a stack of guys I know run the front GT2 Spoiler with a rear TT wing, hell I have had a Gemballa rear wing and a GT2 rear wing with the stock front and now run a Techart front and run the car to 190 without any issues. There has been previous discussions about this on this before on this forum.
The other point about it trying to be something it's not! I don't really think that is what the Bozeman is trying to achieve, as I have stated I run the GT2 rear wing but never once thought I was trying to be something I am not. I just prefer the look!

Bumper and wing on a tt is fine, i just think the front bumper on it's own looks odd. Again all just IMHO, don't get your knickers in a twist when someone offers their opinion....this is a forum!
LMFAO, I love your previous cars. "Jun '03 996 c2 with sport susp, sports exhaust, full gt3 body kit"Man you kill me!

Ok Welshnob fair enough!
...if that is a cheap shot then it just about sums up your intellect. You seem to be having an arguement with yourself over this one. I said that in my opinion it would look wrong, it was someone else who thought it would be detrimental to the driving dynamics. I like the look of all the Porsche GT models that is why i bought a c2 with gt3 kit and then a gt2. For some reason you seem to have a big chip on your shoulder about this and are being particularly antagonistic with your comments. I will not be commenting further on this on an open forum as this thread has been invaded enough. PM me if you wish to add anything constructive.As for getting back to the original thread, yes get a gt2 front but i personally would balance the look of it with a gt2 rear.
