Strosek or 959?
So i can get the strosek kit for about $1400 US and the 959 for $2200.
My question is do I have enough power to pull off the 959 or is it too dated?
I have a chip, cat bypass, g pipe, Drilled K&N, koni & eibach, & strut bar set up.
I realize that I have no where near the power of a 959, much less the power of a 965. Is it too much to lust after?

If you must.... then I would do the Strosek instead. BTW, did I mention to leave the 964 design alone?

Since i've owned the car since it was new, and have now plans for ever, ever selling it (143k miles already and still a daily driver) I think I may ignore these fellas. BTW it is the strosek kit without the squinty eyes.

Whatever you decide to do, be sure that you have a good understanding of what it takes to properly fit and install a fibreglass kit onto the car. A poorly installed kit will always look like crap. Of the two, I like the 959 version.

That is certainly your prerogative as it is your car. Hell, you can douse it in gasoline and throw a match on it if you want. But you did ask for an opinion on these body kits and we delivered.

That money is better invested in the wheels that parsecnc4 has in his avatar... or better seats, or a respray, or... you get the idea... keeping the car with the original lines... a lip, a set of brake air scoops, etc. is all fine... imho of course...
Nothing wrong with the strosek kit... there is a yellow car here with that (can't remember the rennlister name...) and it looks great...
But me, I would put it to making the one you have in top shape...
