I think it looks brilliant, what better then to keep the stock lines and shape of the car, just a bit wider? Some might say not so aggressive for the money and so on, but that's not even what its for, most people do it for looks and that strikes me as ridiculous!

if you didn't do it for looks then why would you do it?

it would be interesting to see a stock turbo and this one side by side. it doesn't really look much different than a stock TT when viewed by itself.

I think it looks much better than stock. I'm a huge fan of the 96-97 993 TT's which were much wider than the 996

LOL I wouldn't do one in general, widebody kits or cars were used for race/track cars, that's where it originated from so they can fit wider wheels and fat tires, crazy camber and can even lighten up the car a good deal, its common sense.I was actually giving this widebody props because its so clean, looks oem and how the turbo should have looked!

i think it looks absolutely gorgeous...... looks OEM and flows perfectly like the stock body lines. i love the subtle, yet aggressive look of it.

i am also interested to hear pricing on this kit. i guess GMG does not do a composite turbo front bumper instead of the GT2 composite

GMG is first class. They are a racing team that will mod your car. If they do it, it's for a purpose! I've seen wicked's stuff and I would say it is not the best fit and finish...
