Aerokit cars look so much better in person no doubt.

Congrats on the mods.... Anything next?
Thanks, I like to keep everything OEM, I also added some alcantara interior parts, this is a different angle, the Aero Kit makes the car look amazing..

Looking good, are your wheels the turbo or regular c2s offsets ?

Thanks Philster...the cost from Suncoast is a little prohibitive.

I think some OEM red tails are in the cards to complete the upgraded OEM look!

Car looks great. Love the aerokit. If it were not so spendy I'd love to add the GT3-RS wing to my car.

Is it me or does the car look like it does not sit quite as low as the GTS?

Thanks, I haven't lowered the car but the pic was shot pretty low which makes it seem as if it's sitting up a little.

Nope. I like the "before" shoot, or maybe the "after" shot, sans the rear wing. I really like the GTS or GT3 front end and think it would be a nice touch, but the rear end on a non-Turbo (rear wing) is one of the reasons I love the 911 so much. The rear end is perfect, like a piece of art. The only exception for me is if it is a GT3, because.........well, it is a GT3.

Most people are not aware that the Aero Kit option appeared on the 997 prior to the GT3 from the factory. I'm old school when I think of Porsche I think of a wing hanging off the back.

uh, non-turbo model 911s (excluding modern GT3s and turbo-look cars) never came with wings hanging off the back.
