Default Semi-Racing Body Kit

All:
So I haven't posted in like a million years, but that is only cause I was faced with an unexpected 2mm scratch in cylinders 2 and 3 when I pulled the head for some minor work... So 1.5 years later, I've got 1500 miles on the rebuild and blah-blah yada yada, My car is back and running mean and well not too lean (951)

Now that mechanical is good, Cosmetic really needs help.

I'm thinking of a cheap paint-job and hatch reseal before I do this work, but here's what I've researched:

GT Racing -> I'd love a new nose, mine is bowed on pass side. but I don't forsee any weight savings.

Vented Header Panel, cause i might as well do this already. I've seen several, but what fits the best/Easiest, or do I just need to hand-fit it anyway?

Front Splitter -> I'd like the GT racing one, my batwing came off years ago, and I have some of the undertrays to make a true aero car, but have you seen the Deutch Nine splitter? I want that one! Anyone know dealers or should I just order from them?

Side Skirts: I want true sills that are good for aero. 968 units look good, but not so much the functional part. I think IFC racing. Fully boxed are a little hardcore for me (and should do the same job).

Rear Hatch: I gotta find a 968 RS wing. Again Deutch Nine. I also want to do a rear bumper pad only delete. I would expect the under diffuser works a little better with the extended bumper. Thoughts/Ideas?

Has anyone done the full wide-body conversion, and would you recommend it on a car that is autoXed, DEd, and a DD?

I think broadfoots flares look better than widebody panels and the skirts i like better than the 968's. If an s2/turbo front end became available that might be a good way to go.

just keep in mind that stuff is all racing panels and will not fit very well for a street car. It will take alot of work.

Yes, you want an autocross car as wide as possible so that it fits more precisely through the gates.
