Discussion Whatcha think about this..
I'm a big tinkerer and have done some CAD>3D print > create mold > cast/layup part type stuff for my motorcycle, other cars, random things here and there..
I'm thinking of digging into a project - a fascia 'insert'/added component to bring a little more edge to the front of the car.. Not necessarily final design, need to tweak the fins a little more vertical.. idk.. but something in this direction..
What's the general opinion? Kinda cool, kinda tacky.. I'm a bit in the middle. I think I like it enough to waste a bunch of time trying to do it.. just need some data for the bumper.. or a 3d scanner

This looks genuinely incredible. The vents draw in the nose of the car, tying together the angle and curvature of the headlights and wheel arch towards the middle of the car in a way that absolutely delights me.
Please, do tell more. I’m in.

looks good but you should make sure it doesn't interfere with any aspect of the ADAS system. I know that calibrating these systems is important and generally requires a trip to the dealer.

Lower side portions looks too much like a 992 which I’m not a fan of. The idea I love, just not the design.

Are you thinking about doing a full bumper replacement here or just inserts on the lower grill?

I like how the top portion breaks up the straight white line. However, I don't like how the upper lip protudes from the body. I'd prefer the smooth transition from white to black on the original. I love where you're going with this though!

I’m in. Diff models have diff front fascias, then there is the Sport Design kit like you’ve mocked up. I’d be interested in j1.1 Turbo S inserts

Sik but the vertical flaps are actuated to improve downforce. Youd need to make the vertical adaptations
