I don't think it's lame. Some people prefer not to have the same exact car as every other 997 on the road.

The gts doesn't need a new airbox or exhaust. I'm ok with the stock pse and additional power from the factory over the c2s.

I am not a tail guy.....I always thought spoilers are aptly named since they spoil the look of the car especially the cool deck lid of the 911!

The only exception........I have to say I loved those whale tails on the older 911s!

Exactly....I like some of the aero kits but don't try to make your car look like a GT3 if it's a C2S.

It's your car so do what you want but why spend 10-15k trying to make your car look like a GT3 when you could take that cash and trade yours in for a real one.

in all seriousness, if one wants a car to look like a gt3 - best way is to buy a gt3 car. aftermarket exterior parts rarely look nice.

plus, honestly, i do not agree at all with price point on all those modled plastic parts they sell for $3k-$5k. it all gets done in same chinese sweat shop that molds $100 honda civic wings and to pay an insane amount of money for this crap is imho not very smart.

would a TT spoiler be considered in the same way?

just wondering
Judging from the website, the green one is for a 997 non turbo, expected production January 2013. The white one is for a 993.

I like the white one. Too bad if it's not for the 997, I'd actually consider getting one in that style. The website shows it on a 964 but also lists 993. I really don't care fore the vents on the green 997 one at all.

Don't all 997 have the same deck lids?

Neither one looks like the Sport Classic.

I like this one



And I like mods to my car



but to each his own.

Yours is the best. Where did you get the brake light delete? Didn't notice that on your previous posts.

After spending the money to mod my 06 base C2 with the Aerokit, wheels, and exhaust, I still wasn't happy. I already spent a small fortune. So I stopped modding and sold it. Then bought the GT3 a week later!

I think the ducktail looks good. It's not over the top and allows some individuality. They were/are factory available so it's not a far fetched idea. It MUST be a well made/high quality part though. If it's not, it will be painfully obvious.
