that's for a turbo?

do you guys here pick on the ones that mod their cars to look like other models like us AMG
people do? for instance: an AMG badge on a non AMG car=posuer.....

would a TT spoiler be considered in the same way?

just wondering

It also shows this ducktail in the final stages for the 997 - sport classic design.

Alot of us have GT3 kits on our cars, like me, but I would never put a GT3 badge on my car...

Anyone can do anything they want to their car. But then, everyone else has an opinion. That's all!

Many do things for the look, while others do badge things rather strangely. For example, to put a RUF badge on your car--when that's the only RUF part on the car, would be seen as being a bit of a poseur.

The great majority of Porsche owners doesn't haphazardly change their cars, as they do not have the resources Weissach has and do not want to run the risk to upset the cars's aero balance. But as you say...

Some think of the "GT3" kit as that front air adjustment for the third radiator--adding the smile beneath the front trunk.

I think I will keep my GTS exterior stock. When I bought it, it came with expensive GT2RS mirrors and I really like it. Other than that, it's completely stock. I think if I bought a c2s I would do changes, but I think that if I modded a GTS and had to sell it, it would bring the price down.

Not even a new Airbox and Exhaust? Keep all the OEM stuff to swap back over before sell!

I think it's fine to add features that were available to you at the time of order but trying to make your car look like a GT3 or TT or something that it' is not'....is lame. The duck might look cool because you could order a turbo-look 911 once upon a time.
