Replace front????

I knew it was going to happen, I went to the Central Florida event and seeing all the different cars and different configurations , I am considering changing the front to a Techart Nose to include the side skirts.

Now that all of you have seen my car in person or in pics. Any suggestions, should I do it or leave it stock looking. BTW, I am getting the PSS9's installed next week. I know that most of you guys were telling me that I needed to lower the car.

Does this madness ever end? My checkbook and Amex are taking a beating.


Thanks

Hey Guys, I WAS ALREADY STUNG BY THE BUG MONTHS AGO!

I have already changed the K16 for K24's , Diverter valves, EVO stage 4, exhaust, Short Shifter and PSS9 and light weight flywheel next week. I am happy with the performance.


I just thought it would end with performance, but I guess not. Now the looks need to be upgraded.

You know I say do the TechArt nose...I wouldn't do the carbon splitter though. I knocked mine so many times I finally trimmed and repainted the teeth on the bottom. I still scrape every now and then though.

I would stay away from the TechArt front. i think that too many people have it and it becomes kinda "common" (weird to say for such a sick front) when so many people have them. I like KPVs configuration of the GT2 front. That in my opinion, is the best looking front.

No offense to those with the Techart Front. Congrats to you since you copped it first, but for those that are adding it now...it seems kinda dull

Just my 0.02$

Enjoy it for a while in bettween mods. When you get a little board, get something new to keep it fresh...I'm certain that soon they'll be something different w/regards front ends so as to have the new/unique look...

Although the TechArt nose may seem common on this board, I don't think that are common in the 3 dimensional world. Besides I think that most of the times that we see our cars we are not running with a dozen TechArt cars, so we see ours by itself or mixed in with all cars around. Besides, common or not a bunch of those TechgArt Bad Boys lined up at a meet is very impressive.

I really like my Gemballa lower lip, but the TechArt bumpers are still the most agressive / best looking nose on the market.

and that's my 3 cents
