Turned my laptop on its side, and still couldn't tell. Stuff like that is rarely done well and makes the car look like a ricer wannabee. I had a fiberglass "kit" on my old Fiero Formula. Looked okay, I guess, but the driver's door would catch on it.

I believe it is the gemballa kit, I've seen it for around $19k ish on some german sites. Basically you have a $19,000 kit that'll probably be close to that in labor to make it look professional.
Dont get fiberglass, get polyurethane if yore going for body kits.
I installed polyurethane, not easy but not as hard as fiberglass

Looks like one of those body kits to transform your Porsche Boxster in to a Porsche Carrera GT.

I’m seriously considering the factory aero kit.

That's an actual 980 CGT.

Requires several parts for the full conversion. You need a CF monocoque, some inboard shocks and bellcranks, V10, a special transmission, different headlights; that should cover it.
