Sideskirts are direct fit. Wing will bolt on, but needs a wiring harness and a reprogram. Front and rear bumpers should bolt on. albeit there's probably some ducting work up front, along with slight wiring changes for fogs. Rear not 100% yet on muffler/tip changes, but bumper should bolt on.

GT2 Rear wing from MAShaw like I have is a direct fit and fully functional. You will need to simply have someone with a PIWIS tool deactivate the rear spoiler. I watched them do it to mine yesterday and there is a easy way to do it. NR Auto makes a replica GT2 rear and front bumper.

+1 for Vorsteiner, the new wing is sick! Recently installed other Vorsteiner goodies, and we were happy with the results:

No mention of the factory kit? Kinda subtle compared to others, but well done.

TA parts are not all that. I know first hand. The parts do not fit that well for the front lip. The rear piece fits very nicely but the vented areas are not well thought out. The front aero lip i have is wavy. Overall I like it don't get me wrong but they get a little too proud of their kits. I love hte TA II rear wing probably one of the best looking wings and i am conservative and I would buy one. But at 12K they are smoking crack.

I have the front TA Type 1 and Rear Type I with GT2 sides. IMHO its a sharp looking combo. Of course a front GT2, side GT2, Rear TA 1 and TA II fixed wing would be the best combo!

Bobby - dude your wheels NICE!

Another vote for TechArt stuff used their stuff for years on all sorts of cars and just never have issues. In terms of fit/finish/fitment they're second to none in the Porsche world. Their close relationship and history with Porsche obviously means that the pressure is on them to always have parts that are not only going to fit but also wind tunnel tested (which is pretty unique to body kit stuff).

I'd choose Vorsteiner if it costs half as much as Techart. too bad it costs almost the same!

GT3 front, hybrid signals, Techart sides & rear. Very classy on a twin and only a couple people have done it.

Hey Alex, wow that's so odd... I've got other folks in Europe that seem to see it? Have you tried different PCs maybe? Someone elses?

That's double the MSRP.
