Dominic - Doing it piecemeal helped control the cost, but in the end I realized that I should have just gone with the entire aero kit from the start, as sourcing the parts can take a lot of time and energy. Getting then at lower cost can take time. I'f I'd bought the entire kit in one batch from Sunset Porsche I probably would not have paid that much more than what I've paid to date... that being said, it all depends on how much you spend on paint and installation.

Be careful on the suspension upgrade. If you just replace springs so it sits lower, it may shorten your shocks' life and change your handling. Search this board on suspension upgrade so you get the correct set up.

They also quoted me $3500 (parts and labor) for PSS10, but that might be more then I need since I plan on very little if any track time.

Your shop seems pricy. I would shop around. I paid $1850 shipped for PSS9s and $750 for installation which included 2 alignments because I lowered it twice.

There's deals to be had. I paid $600 for a new ROW M030 and also got a deal on some wheels and tires from a RL member. You may want to check DPS who also paint factory aero parts.

No wonder you have to think twice with the prices you get. Change shops cause they're after you. Look around the net and you'll be able to get a close to new PSS9 or 10 for a little over 1K. As for aero, check ebay or other places but I'm sure you can get the entire kit for 2K plus paint.
Good luck

Just ordered the OEM aero kit from Dayton at DPS
They had it on ebay as a OEM front bumper and skirts with factory replica rear deck lid.
Im looking at 3 body shops in the area and any feedback or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Madison Avenue Coach Works - in Dumont NJ
Protosport - Pompton plains - NJ
Body Motion - redbank - already quoted me $2000 - (seems high)

Getting the best price for parts is one thing but as for paint, I would go with recommendation rather then price. I have learned the hard way with a ''cheap'' paint job. Especially with the front bumper that kept flaking off.

I was very pleased with the parts that I got from DPS (I ordered mine painted). In fact I'm currently waiting for my rear spoiler to arrive from him. He's not the fastest in the world and he's always full of excuses as to why he doesn't deliver on promises, but he does eventually deliver.
I emailed him last night waiting for the excuse of the week as to why I've not recieved shipment notification when he promised it last friday (for the 3rd consecutive week). When I ordered the parts he promised delivery in 2 weeks... I'm on week 5 and counting right now. He promised 3 weeks on the orginal aero kit delivery and I believe that took 8 weeks.
It will be interesting to see what excuse he comes up with this time for the part not having shipped yet... and he wonders why there are so many people on Rennlist that get frustrated with his tardy delivery practices - it really taints the good things that he does.
