Nice car! I noticed that some of the 996TT's have the lower parts of the body and front lip painted body color and some black. Is that a factory option or a difference in year? Just curious. I like them both ways. I do think the body colored cars look like they sit lower!

Welcome.

It appears as though the front spoiler in your pics is from a C4S rather than a 996TT?

Thanks everyone, It is a 996TT front, they came in both ways when I bought the car. The car is lowered as it has the full GT2 suspension

I believe the nose may be 996TT, but the lower splitter has the same lower profile as a 996 C4S.
A stock OEM 996TT front splitter is straight across the bottom.
The differences were to due balancing downforce (different rear spoilers/wings between the TT and 4S)

AFAIK, you could not order a 996TT with a C4S splitter.
Some individuals have replaced the TT splitter with the C4S splitter in an effort to gain ground clearance/reduce scrapes.

Welcome and congrats on great looking ride. Lewis is right about your splitter it is a 996c4s. Only available as a replacement of stock splitter. Some owners will do such to save $$$. About $150 cheaper than stock part.

Enjoy your ride.
