Smile gt2 wing/aerokit on a turbo???

So, as many may have seen in the GT purely porsche mag where they compare the gt2 and gt3 as well as the turbos, I started to notice how cool the wing is on the gt2. The more I look, the more I like the way it looks. I also like the look of the gt2 front bumper. So the question is, have many of you guys done this? Any pics? Ideas on costs involved? Or should I leave the car stock

thanks guys

a lot of people have put on the gt2 wing on their turbos. IMO it looks great. It looks cool with either the gt2 front or the techart type II.

As far as cost goes, the OEM tail is about 8 grand. You can get an aftermarket one for about 2 g's. You should also check out the techart stuff. It's a really nice look.

I did it...really like the look and have to believe that the factory did their homework on the aerodynamics. I wound up going with factory parts. Bought the front end stuff from Gert and the rear stuff was used. Never really added up the costs...but it is not cheap.

I bought from Gert as well. Get the original front. Will require some work with radiators and hoses. Rear is aftermarket carbonfiber. Total cost around 5-6k. High speed stability improvement is amazing esp above 170mph. Also you will run at lower temp since there is better cooling. Add a better suspension and you will have a new car.
