Found the manufacturer. Company called Razzi out of the Atlanta area. All pieces are made from Aero Flex (some sort of "proprietary composition" of ABS plastic developed by Bayer Chemicals for Razzi). Supposed to be better than urethane and fiberglass. Pieces fit well and appear to be of good quality. They are a comparative value also. Entire 4pc kit lists for about $900. The front and rear air dams attach to existing bumper covers, so shut lines are still factory spec. I may go with an OEM aero kit later on but it looks ok for now, right?

OEM = better sleep at night....

You're going to shell out that price in paint so you looking at close to 2K when it's all said and done...... I would still recommend the Aero kits....

If you look wisely, you can get factory for a little more than that and it will look alot better. The factory side skirts can be had from board sponsors for about $600 and if you look wisely you can get a GT3 front bumper used in good condition for about $500....I'd do that instead.

Why spend the extra money. Besides if you try to sell that Razzi aerokit no one would buy it. Go with the OEM GT3 aerokit and save the time and money.

I don't really like the look of those side skirts. They seem incomplete. The Aero 1 is fuller and if you prefer a sharper knife edge, the Aero 2 is the way to go.

i think your car may look better the way it is for now. wait and get the gt3 when you are ready. don't waste money one something that actually makes it look worse! in my humble opinion.

Here is the problem: I bought the car used and it already had the Razzi kit installed. I am trying to convince myself that it looks good enough to keep on the car for a while. It actually looks pretty good. Pics do not do it justice. Plus, I am concerned about the the extra body work involved with removing old kit.

well, that changes what i said. just keep it for now until you get a new kit. wouldn't waste the effort to remove it and risk spending more money.

Yes, I agree that changes everything.......

I'm sure all will agree that you had lead us to believe that you were "thinking about getting this kit" vs. something you already had.....

I would wait and look around for the aerokit you really want. Keep the Razzi kit on since its already there, then remove it when it time.

Looks pretty familiar to me....



Same deal for me - previous owner put it on, I'm ambivalent about it but don't dislike it enough to pull it off and have to replace it with something else. It does look better in person and has a very good fit.

The car's been tainted with an inferior body kit now, it'll run much slower and will undoubtedly degrade your social life. Sell it quickly before news spreads that you're running cheap aftermarket crap.











(Seriously, if you've already got it and it looks good, just enjoy the car. On this board you'll find cars outfitted w/Porsche OE, Techart, Cargraphic, Ruf, Rinspeed, Speedart, 9ff, abc, xyz, and who knows what else. As long as you like it and it's not poor quality, just go have fun. The only time you really need to be concerned is when you're buying something new, because, as pointed out above, you're into it for significant dollars once you account for the intial purchase plus prep and paint....and let's not forget pre-fitting and final installation. It all adds up.)
