Lightbulb 991Turbo Look

Any idea what the option cost would be to add Turbo side vents and rear wing to a 991 4S?

Thanks everyone!

The same people who wear counterfeit watches; I've just never understood it...

Just put a GT3 badge on the back and be done with it.

Unrelated, but odds on 991 GT3 having the hip air inlets a-la 2012 RSR?

0 based on the spy pics. You know Porsche, they are saving that for the inevitable 991 RSR (or will offer it as an astronomical cost special order).

That's so funny and lame at the same time. However, I would love a turbo without the side vents and rear spoiler. I love the clean look of the normally aspirated 911 but wouldn't mind the extra torque of the turbo.

Thanks everyone!
Using original parts (checked availiable 997.2TT and 991 prices) about 12000USD plus labor.

That being said, I can't think of a worse way to burn 16K this side of neon underbody lights, 24" chrome wheels and gigantic subwoofers..

Would one need to roll the fenders to fit 24's on?

Wow, you guys are harsh! His Porsche, his look! Just please don't put a Turbo badge on it! (kinda like putting an M on a 328i)

I wish you could buy a turbo without the permanent gaudy rear wing and vents. Since a wing is only effective at higher speeds, Porsche needs to use an auto wing that deploys at 75mph like the base and S models; make it larger if necessary due to the higher speed of the turbo.

I agree ... this would make the turbo more appealing to those who prefer a more toned-down look (and perhaps those who use their 911s as DDs).
