You guys are right .

Can - I do wish you all the happiness which your car brings . If my methods of communication on this thread offended you it was not my intention . I have always liked your car and have greatly respected the time that you have placed into making it special as well as your contributions to the forum .
Be well . Enjoy it in good health .

(Agreed) You two contribute alot "Thank You" and I always look forward to your posts. Now stop it before GotBoost sends you to your rooms and gives you both a time out...

Totally agree. I'll just add that you guys have a lot more in common than not! I glean so much from both of your posts.

I don't have enough rep power to do that. I might have to borrow some of yours.

The car looks great cannga! The P40s and the TechArt front lip really help accent the lines of the car. Keep up the good work. We have the TechArt side skirts and Type I wing in stock if your interested. Let me know.

I almost got that kit myself. It looks great, but I think it's made out of fiberglass. You might want to double check.

GotBoost, the TechArt aero parts are made of PU-RIM plastic. It's the same material Porsche uses for the bumpers.

Guys, thanks; you're correct. As you could see, we are already over it. Sure does wonders for the view count though. I have never had a thread with count advancing so quickly.

Larry, thank you. The feeling is mutual and have fun with your fantastic car. BTW, the 186 mph Turbo is very similar to yours: 700 hp and Bilstein. Despite of my "talking," I think your mods are A OK and yours is an incredibly and meticulously well-planned car.

Justin/CEC: Isn't CEC the US TechArt distributor? Does the view count for my publicity/advertising thread translates dollar for dollar into a ...er... "contributor's discount"? Kidding aside -- thanks but only front lip for now (I guess you have NOT been following the thread. ) . My goal is simply to spread the happiness. If just one person got hooked by seeing these pictures, I consider mission accomplished -- Jason where are you?
BTW, I was at CEC West LA checking out the steering wheel. What a cool show room.

Dan, picture got my attention. Wonderfully menacing car! What is that front bumper? Someone on another forum asked me about TechArt dealership and I recommended your store (with the typical "no affiliation" warning), having taken liberty with pictures from your extremely nice web site.

Thanks for the referral. That is the new Vorsteiner front bumper. We are the authorized dealer of these that are to be released shortly. We are also a TechArt distributor.

Yes, we're the US distributor. LOL It could. We like to take care of our customers. If it were up to me, every Porsche sold would be TechArt-equipped. It's just better that way! J/K...I'm located in Miami. We opened a showroom here in Coral Gables in May 2007. If you think the LA showroom looks good, you have to come visit us down here! State-Of-The-Art!

Even an over-priced Porsche factory aerokit is cheap in comparison to TechArt stuff though

I worked out it would cost me nearly £15k to have the basics of the TA type II kit installed on my car. That's like $30k in old exchange-rate!!

Poor Cannga has to get his lip from ebay to afford it. And he can't exactly be hard up for money if he owns a 997 Turbo!

This is why I am currently leaning towards speedArt myself
