Bodykit for 997s

Front and rear bumper covers are damaged as well as passenger side rocker panel - if i get a bodykit will that replace front/rear bumper covers? If i get sideskirts do they mount right over rocker panel? Also which kit do you think looks best on 997s?

TIA!

The bumpers are complete units - not sure how the rockers attach...

My favorite body kit is the Ruf Rt12 kit - AWESOME.

I think your insurance adjuster is going to think you staged the damage so you could get a free body kit

I am not a fan of the side skirts on the 997, 996 yes, but not the 997. Imo it does not need them. GT3 front bumper would be nice.

I am personally going to do a front aerokit + rinspeed indy side/rear.. I am still looking for a wing to finish it off, might just modify the turbo wing.

i know the front is 3500
the rear spoiler is 3700 or so
plus paint and installation yeah will be north of 10k easily.
not to mention it doesn't make the car any faster. that is stepp but damn that is so hot though, don't u think so?

I talked to Hans from Ruf - he told me it would be $10K for the whole thing (parts/paint/install). I don't know if that was a special deal with the Kompressor, but that's what I was told.
