Dear Mike,

I disagree, in my opinion, not all "beauty parts" are posing.

When a car that has good mods (stronger motor, better suspension) and is faster than a stock car, and then you add aids that make the car stick better to the road and handle better (i.e. RS spoilers etc.), that is definetely not posing.

Like I said, when someone does it in otherwise stock car (i.e. S car with turbo S scoops), then it is be "posing", but not when rest of the car is also performance oriented.

here is my 95 with the RS wing and front splitters. I have been looking at sideskirts, but have not decided if I'll get them - as Flying Finn said, the wing & splitters have a definite aero purpose, not sure the sideskirts do. And don't even try to get me into the poser discussion.... although, IMHO, Porsches should be modified and personalized, and we should all be thankful that MOST people who own Porsches have good taste!

Ditto to that,

I'm not like everyone else, so why should my car be like everyone else's (stock)?

And this goes for anything in life, be personal people.

FYI, sideskirts do have a (aerodynamic) purpose.
