I was never planing on aero'ing my nb. I like the way it looks and I love the lifting spoiler...

but I have an opportunity to buy a turbo bumper and a MASHAW gt2 wing for pretty cheap (<1k for both) which is very tempting...

I know the 2 sort of mismatch... And I have no clue what to do about skirts....

What do you think? would you go down this route or not? would the result be akin to a frankenporsche?

any input would be great!

thanks


this is a quick pic of my nb right now (did I say stock?)

I just posted a rear deck and GT3 spoiler on my "Official found this on ebay" thread.


for me

FACTORY AERO !!!

I dont think the turbo bumper will fit your car and the GT2 wing,.......how long have you known me???????

Ivangene,

thanks... saw it but I dont like the gt3 spoler... looks "Cropped" to me.

I have considered the same thing aero or no aero....on a 99 NB. The problem is I do not want the frankenstein aftermkt look either. To me there are only 2 options to consider. Factory Aero, which looks like you do not like or a complete body redo like 996 to 997 look with wide body fenders front/rear. But I come to the same stinkin conclusion everytime.....too much money to sink into a sinking value car that in 3 more years may be in the 10-13k range. Better off to save for a real Wide Body TT IMHO

I am a fan of Aero!

but what do you think about mixing the gt2 spoiler with a turbo bumper?

Marc Gelefsky

Not digging it, How about Aero side skirts, Aero front bumper and GT-2 Spoiler? thats a little less "FrankenPorsche"

Life's short. Do what you want with no regrets.

If you're concerned about resale value and potentially limiting your future buyer base with mismatched bits, then toss your old parts in the attic so you can put the car back to stock when you want to sell it.

I just put MK1 skirts and a Techart II wing on my 01. The wing can be removed and the skirts are correct for the year. Life is too short! Make it yours!

Marc Gelefsky,

your car has the "crisper" mkII skirts on - correct?
what bumper are you sporting there?

desmo21,
please post pics.

Marc Gelefsky

My car has the factory MK II skirts, the MkI s are rounder.
I have the Mk II Aero front bumper, same as a GT-3 Bumper.

It's your car, dress it up the way you want! Only people on the forums will know the difference anyway.

Marc Gelefsky

Thats the truth, it's your ride! make it look how you want it to!
