Alternatives to the Porsche Aerokit????

[buster]

What tasteful alternatives are there to the Porsche Turbo Aerokit?

Answers on a postcard please.

Gembella, being very careful what you choose and depending on your definition of tasteful...

To be honest, I think the standard 996tt looks great for what it is, and I like the GT3 look as well. Best looking 996 for me has to be the GT3-RS, simply because of the red wheels and boy racer livery

Assuming we are talking about the 911, are you looking at retro-fitting such an Aerokit? If so, which model are you looking at the 993 or 996?

I've a 996 TT already - was going to sell it in the spring - now keeping it so thought I'd "play with it" a little!

Seriously tho - don't want it to look Max Power!

I LOVE the standard look - but want it to be slightly less hairdresser, more hetro

Need something that will delete the impression given by my red moleskins.....!

I saw a 996TT on Sloane St last week, the only alteration outside was silver wire mesh in the intakes on the front spoiler, looked v good.

That sounds nice actually - work well with the black too -

I agree with Domster then, Gemballa. That Turbo GTR 600 kit look the biz! Trouble is though, its a whole front, bonnet, rear spoiler, front and rear wings....

Mega bucks, me thinks!

[domster]

How about an aggressive 19 inch wheel, in black? Like a Ruf or Techart set?

Ruf do some subtle but ohmygawd aggressive styling.

A liitle OTT.... need slightly more subtle despite my Chelmsford birth cert

[domster]

Big wheels.

Then neon wiperjet lights.

Innit?

Buster,

With the 996tt there is surely no need for any form of motorized hubris?

Everyone knows it's 'The Daddy' (apologies for that phrase) - you will receive 'maximum respect' from young males and I've come to feel that such relative aesthetic calmness (quite distinct from a banshee wailing Pininfarina style) - is very much part of it's appeal.

The external visuals are just right - maybe spend the money on a modest 'lightning programme?'...Over to Domster, I think.

Did you say you were Brunting on the 12th, perchance?

[david hype]

Interesting thread this...

Not sure about the neon wiper jets though!

I think that it does start to show how we Porsche owners differ, in our tastes towards the acceptability of the styling of the basic product coming out of Stuttgart. I know that the "quality" after-market tuners have always been given a good amount of scope for development from the factory, and also been given the ability to develop their products along side Porsche (the speed of bits for the Cayenne springs to mind)

But I have to say, big respect to Porsche for the quality engineering in the product to start with! Then leaving us with the infinite scope to decide how we wish to personalise our cars from that point onwards.

Hey, "One man`s meat" and all that!

I do like the agressive approach of the Aerokit.

Undecided..........!

Hey, That red beasty might not be eveyone`s Cuppa Tea.
But to me, its the dogs! Nothing about that is "Max Power" whatsoever.

It`s well designed, in proportion, and perfectly right, to offer customers a more aggresive stance to the almost perfect (basic Turbo) factory product!

I`d have it in yella me self...ay!
