+996 and the wing with the black ends look good along with the wheels and taillights. Front bumper looks interesting and something us U.S. guys don't see often.

One nit pick though for me would be to get TT or Techart style tips to match the contours of your bumper opening. That would seem more in place like it was meant to be there IMHO.

I watched an Engineering Marvels (I think) episode about the construction of that property. As I recall, the entire project is on reclaimed waterfront property, so just getting the foundations poured was an epic project.

The car is beautiful. I agree that an exhaust tip that better fills the bumper opening would be nice - but that's a minor nit for a 911 that has had some much work done on it.

Looks good, Front bumper looks a bit out of place but overall I like it, especially that wing!

Agreed. I love the GT3 wing I have on my 996, but that Misha wing is the sex.

I'll have to watch that one, thank you for the heads up. Sorry OP about the OT.

It all looks very nice but I also agree with what alp said about the tips. Other then that I would not change anything on the car.

I love the wing. It is similar to the GT 2 wing minus the CF cover. I also like the Fabspeed twin exhaust tips and was on the verge of ordering them, when I noticed that the price had jumped almost 40%. Oh well, just got to save a little bit more. Overall, you have a gorgeous car

Thanks guys for the many encouraging remarks! Took the lazy me many months to finally complete what I wanted.

Morganbowen - you must have been really looking into the Fabspeed exhaust tips to notice it right away.

Agree that the exhaust tip was the only thing that did not fit nicely into the contour of the rear bumper.
As I really like the quad pipes look, I didn't go for the C4S pipes.
Thought the techart style tips will fit nicely, but my only turn-off was you can actually see the single pipe outlet at the tips, while the smaller outlet is sort of like a dummy. (Nonetheless, can any one point out who sells a really high quality techart style tips and ships internationally? I may just buy one pair and swap the tips at times when perfection is desired.)

Here is the list of what was added to achieve the look:

1) Hofele Front & Rear Bumper
2) 996 Mk2 GT3 Original Side Skirts
3) Misha GTM wing (carbon)
4) Carbon Fibre Mirror stick on Cover (ebay)
5) Smoked LED taillights
6) Milltek Cat Back Exhaust with Fabspeed Long Tail Pipes
7) Eibach Lowering Springs
8) BC Forged HB04 (Matte Graphite Rim Face, Gloss Graphite Lip. 8.5x19 ET40, 235/35-19 Michelin
PS2, 10x19 ET45, 275/30-19 Michelin PS2) Pirelli Pzero to be installed soon.
9) Brake Calipers Sprayed Artic Silver with Red Porsche Wordings

My next project is to revamp the interior of the car.

By the way, the crazy building in the background is called Marina Bay Sands. A hotel development with retail shops, Casino and exhibition venue at the lower floors.
