"a good set of coilovers with camber plates and pillow ***** included and a rear sway will do the trick."

Brings me to what I was trying to point out earlier… Porsche parts are super spendy! Good coil over sets range from 5-10K. I am assuming the sway bar isn't that bad but I have gotten myself in a lot of trouble with assumptions before.

As for the body kits go, I think the GT2 is still the best looking. I might be biased a bit but just adding a Gt2 front and a rear bumper make a huge difference. Just don't put the badge…hehehe
The wing is a lot better too. How much less does a GT2 wing weigh versus the TT one with the stuff that makes the wing go up and down? I am not too fond of the side-skirts that come with most of those kits either.

Wheels and tires would be a great place to start!! That always makes a day and night difference. Both in looks and handling. I love Toyo 888s

Coilovers with labor will cost you probably about 5k unless you find some good used ones or DIY. A rear sway bar is a few hundred bucks.

I personally do not care for the aero kit wing at all. It's by far the heaviest, and is not good looking at all. The stock wing with hydraulics is not THAT heavy. About 35 lbs, decklid and all. You can probably save 15 lbs or so there with a good aftermarket unit, don't know what authentic GT2 weighs in at though. I agree though, the GT2 rear wing looks best, I happen to like the techart piece on front, but authentic it's super expensive and if not, super heavy. For the rear wing the real GT2 one is costly too, getty makes them light for not too much $$$.

With all mentioned, we are easily talking 20k in wheels, tires, suspension, aero (prep, paint) labor with a tune exhaust.

Might be a good idea to look for a GT2 which comes with all the aero, coil overs, adjustable sway bars, bigger turbos n intercoolers, etc. etc.
Most likely they would have upgrades and a set of wheels by now too
