TechArt or Gemballa?

Hi everyone!

This is my first time posting even though I've been lurking around for couple months now. I have a 01 silver TT with TechArt kit (hope you can see the attached pic), I've had this car for about 6 months now and have been very happy with all the mods I've put in. But lately I've taken notice on the Gemballa kit which is also very stunning, it's more slick looking but TA is more aggressive. Anyway, now I'm sort of contemplating about replacing TA with Gemablla...what do you guys think? Should I keep the TA a little longer before thinking about switching? Your thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Peter

I think your car looks fine the way it is, maybe consider spending some money on engine and suspension modifications if you haven't already

Your right about gemballa having smoother lines, but stick with Techart....Better looking I think!

Eavn - how come your front is different from the one in the pic abpve? specifically, the little line in the middle of the a la GT2 duct in front of the hood - I htink it would look better without it....

Thanks for all your input. Yeah, I think I still prefer the more aggressive look of TA, and lately I've also been thinking about replacing the wheels with the black wheels to enhance the aggressive look, but I've only had these HRE's for a few months and I'm still in love with them. Plus I think I've already spent too much money on the car: upgraded the power to around 600hp, 15" Brembo brakes, JIC Cross suspension, TA pipes, full CF interior, GT3 seats, and custom stereo. And everything was done at By Design...so you guys should know how much I've already spent...

However, as so many people on this board have already mentioned that...IT's A DISEASE...that just grows on you and wouldn't let go...

Gemballa but since you already have the TechArt, I think Zamirz is right in suggesting that ur better off spending money on something else..
