Yep, sorry......I was thinking same year models.
I vote for the TT as well.

 

Ok So Assuming I get a 996TT and have a $20k budget to mod I will need:

• Iforged Essens 19 Inch ($3,500)
• Techart Front Bumper (Price Please on original and replica)
• GT2 Wing (Price Please)
• PSS9 Coilover ($2,000)
• Sports Exhaust (Best Make and Price)
• Pioneer Z1 Head Unit ($1,400 is this the best?)
• Mb Quart Speakers, Subs, Amp ($2000 advice appreciated weight & sound quality important)
• Performance Tuning is the ($14,000 Is Evom Stage 4 Overkill?)
• Full Carbon Fibre Trim ($4,500)

I guess it's more than $20k... Well let me know what you guys think are essential. I am looking for a car that looks as good as it performs.

Thanks again

 

dont forget to factor in labor costs. also you can get alot of the stuff for half price used .. try posting in the classified section for items you need. If I were you though, Id wait and buy a modded car from one of the members here... lot of nice cars come up for sale with the mods already done.

 

The techart bumper replica and GT2 wing with side skirts is available for about $4500 at nr auto, but your in the UK so it might me more with shipping, if you go for the tech art original, the front bumper alone is around $6K.
All the exhaust systems range around $3 to $4K.

 

kayman makes a great point, the resale value of those mods are nowhere near what they cost and actually a lot of buyers are turned off because the car has mods (don't know why) so you can really get a good deal.

 

Don't forget tires to go with those rims - factor in another $1500 for those as well...

 

yup.. and also realignment, corner balancing, installation, painting of the wing and bumper.. it adds up really fast

 

$10K for tuning. $4500 for JIC suspension with install. $3500 for used wheels and tires...
The rest buy some Beer and watch the Premier league. LOl

As I told you in a pm already, go for the turbo for several resons.. For all of the upgrading and modifying you want to do, plus the city/daily driving the GT2 just won't live up to the practicality for you.. BTW I would mnever get a GT2 and then start replacing body parts, adding 19 inch iforged wheels and so on, its just not its function, but again that is me!

 

don't forget a very very good radar unit front and rear have beltronics saved me many times.. woodster thanks for reminding me of how much i have spent on mine............

 

did i forget $7.00 a gal race gas ? just don't wanna set my giac on thepunp gas mode

 

I'm a newbie so I don't have much cred yet, but I recently went through the same decision making process. Drove a GT3, GT2, and TTS. I bought the TTS and I'm ecstatic about my choice. I LOVE the car. I was very close to buying the GT3 or GT2, and now that I have the TTS, I realize that either of the GTs would have been the wrong choice for me. But you have to understand that mine is a DD. I love the amenities in the TTS. Even the Bose makes me very happy every day!

 

Farris, truly if you ask that question TT or GT2 then you belong in a TT. The 2 brotherhood know all to well that the TT will not satisfy their need for speed or driver involvment. Don't purchase a machine that will be over your head and you fear. Enjoy the TT for a year or two and then if the GT2 bug bites and you will know when then purchase one..

 

got any pics, i havent seen too many TTS on here

 

If you're going to spend all that $$$ on mods to a TT might as well get the GT2. It has most of the mods you want, will be less expensive in the long run and retain more of its value. Too bad mods never seem to add much in value. GT2 are harder to drive unless you're had other RWD 911 (except this one is on steroids). After 4 RWD non-turbo 911's I got a TT because I know I would get in over my head in a GT2 and I'm the back side of the half century mark.
