Thoughts on Caractere body kit

I love the front bumper and side skirts but I hate the wing!

It looks good but it's not OEM Porsche and because of this many 991 customers won't want it even if it looks better

Trying to make it look like a Cayman? non functional side scoops? Too Poseur for me. But it might look cool IRL.

I'd have to know how much of that look is functional and the costs, b4 I could make a judgement.

Why the bolt on side vents? The rear spoiler looks like it came off another car since it is too narrow. Front bumper is the best of the 3 components.

I like it a lot. I added the rear wing to my 2012. Very expensive stuff. I would love to do the whole kit.

The front is amazing, not totally sold on the side skirts though. As others have said, they look a little 987 cayman-ish.

Nope..reminds me a of a Panamera I saw the other day with a similar kit. More angles and stuff bolted on the sides and front of the car that I thought if it hits a speed bump or any road imperfection it was gonna be a wraps. Plus to me it looks as if it just adds weight to the car and mass. Destroys the clean lines already from Porsche. Not sure it will help any resale value either. GL
