Finally had some nice weather and an extra set of hands to help me install my new carbon fiber lip.. Came out looking great! While I was at it, also installed some clear side reflectors.

Looks fantastic! What is the manufacturer name? What did you have to do to install it?

It's a Euroteck Motor Sports lip. It simply screws on the car. All you need is a drill and a screwdriver.

I bought it at Christmas time when it was a sell. Just hadn't gotten a chance to install it until yesterday.

I'm using a tow hook license plate mount to prevent having to drill holes in the front bumper. Got tired of being pulled over for not having a front license plate - Virginia police are though!

Here's a picture from my iPhone:

I don't think it makes much a difference in the clearance between the ground and the bottom of the lip. My car is lowered (with links) so my clearance would be different from another car at normal height.

Ahh very smart, luckily CA cops don't care about front plates, or even rear for that matter, I haven't had a rear place on my 996 for over a year

No, I love the look of carbon fiber.

I also bought a CF rear spoiler to replace the OEM one. That goes on next

Hey CurtisG, does your tow hook plate interfere with the front parking sensors?
