Those small additions really made a big difference. A subtle front lip would really finish it off though.

The GT3 vent looks like a kid who call the smudge of dirt on his upper lip a 'mustache'

The black trim around the headlights makes it look like the car has eyeliner on

I like it except for the GT3 vent, it doesnt suit the standard front bar, each to their own

There was only one way to find out. The front needed something and a GT3 front bar without full kit looks odd

A black plastic front lip (so scratches arent noticeable) and colour matched front vent would look dope I reackon, i think it looks a little unbalanced the way it is at the moment. Those rims though absolutely make the car though, such a great choice!

I am loving these video, keep up the stellar work gents.

Looks really good, loving the oem+ look

Great visual modifications. I do think it needs a front lip though..

Looks super nice, classy and retro! 👌

That looks sick. Well done 👌🏼

I love the ducktail and headlight surrounds. Gotta say that I'm still not a fan of the GT3 vent on anything other than a GT3 but you do you!

I'm a bit late to the party,but the car looks FANTASTIC! Bravo!

Looks good for a 997! Makes it look much better.

Yeah Deano ! Best in the biz

The rear has a good shape to it with the duck-tail and wiper delete. Good work.

Looks great 👍

Haha that dirty stash is awesome. The 997 looks great! I think personally I would also add a mild chin splitter or something.

When i see andrews cars and motive upload. I click right away.. its that simple! For real i love andrew hawkins!

For the money I suspect that’s well done and gets you into the 997 chassis and car (superb) at a good value point.

Looked better oem. Much cleaner lines

I like the 911 badge. I’m looking forward to the tuning vid to see if those performance parts you put on actually work

Awesome to see a paint shop say we don’t just wanna do insurance jobs, so many places I’ve gone into for my widebody and close door respray have always talked up how difficult it is and after a while of talking they say we really only do insurance jobs... so order panels and paint them in house for heap and charge out the ass for the job. Instead of doing something skillfull and with passion.

Hey Andrew, loving these videos you’ve been pumping out recently thanks for good content!

Can't say it's quite to my taste but the execution is clearly on point.

I think it looks great. Like someone else said, a nice black front lip would finish it off

Really enjoy watching these vid's where people work on their 911's, and good luck with the personalised changes as you seem very pleased with them. However no disrespect intended and I really do appreciate your effort to share the journey but give me the stock 911 997 look any day...

Front vent and black around the headlights is very P plate spec. Although the standard rims aren’t very tasteful, I feel the new rims arnt a great improvement either

6:27 look at thr strap decal, it's kinda bother me... But, this is awesome transformation 😍

That lip Wing does wonders

Yep I'm liking the style now, I'm thinking the only thing is the tail lights, can they be upgraded or changed

You definitely have a taste

Lucky it's your (YUKK I WROTE YOU'RE!? edit) car and not anyone else's aye Andrew haha, I love it. Super subtle. As you said, less like an accountants car, and more like a tuner car. Without going in the direction of a race car.

Removed it all together the system. Shows a warning on start up but doesn’t effect car so all good.

Thanks for the great video's. Could you give me a rough guide on the cost of that ducktale?

What an amazing transformation! Very well executed. I would only suggest a front lip spoiler if you want the finishing touch. Of course, now that it's lowered you will have the possibility of scrapping much more often if you go this route, so I'm assuming that's why it was not added.

Not sure if it looks better or worse with Hitler's mustache.

Did u have to reprogram the electric pop up spoiler to not go up? Or did u need a harness delete?

Hi Do you have a video on the Misha Duck tail installation ?

You guys should’ve done a GTS front bar with the Rennline vent. Perhaps RUF-style front indicators would be mint. The rest of the car is killer but yeah, still a bit grandpa in looks.

Is putting a front lip on the menu? Looks great!!

GT3 vent looks wrong. 😕

Needs a black splitter/gurney flap on the front bumper to complete the look.

There's a misalignment at the front left bumper & fender. A gap.

Not a huge fan of the GT3 vent. I get why you'd install it. But I feel aesthetically it doesn't do much to improve the look of the Porsche, but then again I'm not a huge fan of this era of 911.. so my opinion is probably not that valid.
