How much did the installation run you? I am interested in doing the same thing.

Quick question:
Why go to the trouble of installing everything aftermarket?
Bumper, side skirt, tail, aluminum interior pieces all come as options from the factory. Is it because you wanted to get a car in stock without waiting for Porsche to build it for you on demand? or is this price driven? Does it cost less to install these things aftermarket, with pieces from Gert and other resellers?

To answer your question Eric bought the car without ordering it... So therefore it didn't have any of these options.. Also the one benefit of adding all of this stuff after is some guys keeep the stock stuff and when you sell the car just swap the parts back to the factory look.. You can sell the stuff for 1/2 of what you paid VS turning into the dealer or selling it with the upgrades

Kevin is right. The car was in stock and was a total stripper - just what I wanted! This time I wasn't going to do any mods - ya right! Then my GOOD BUDDY Kevin started talking me into doing a little bit of this and a little of that and hear we are! Nearly caused me a divorce! Well, my dealer called this evening. Good news, he has TT Cab allocation for Sept production! Let the sale begin - all parts like new! Cargraphics, GT3 front bumper, skirts.
