Sorry to dissapoint but the fake stuff is not engineered like the real TECHART products (ducting, brake cooling, fit, etc). Work with Arling and he will get you into the real deal.

Some people have had fitment, ducting issues or whatever, maybe i was the lucky one. I had NO ISSUES what so ever, prepping took a little long but also the boy shop i realized was sub par. Mine was flawless, no gaps, sidemarkers didnt fall out and sat flush with fenders and so on, i was not dissapointed and i spend MONEY for TOP NOTCH parts on every car i have

Is the techart stuff really made in germany?? or is it made in china? I have no problems if its made in china as long as the fitment and weave are flawless....just wondering.

don't get them! they don't fit well!
no replica side skirts fit, unless you are willing to glue (silicon) them onto the side of your car


the only sideskirts that fit are the real ones!

it's not the style.. it's the material! the real ones are made of polyurathane which is flexible but the replica ones are made of fiberglass, which are not flexible... the strange thing is they make polyurathane ones for civic and honda body kits but they won't make aftermarket polyurathane porsche replicas... strange...

DUDE NOTHING BEATS THE ORIGINAL TECHART STUFF
I had tried to install a set of replica sideskirts.. and evrytime the shop tried to installit it would crack
had to take it back to the shop where i bought it 3 times.. all 3 cracked.. they at the end gave my money back.. i happily bought my skirts form arling..
installed flushed.,comes with clear bra cut out and its made out of PUR i believe so no cracking or anything.. as for the froin bumper its made of carbon kevlar so its stronger than fiberglass...

usually your front bumpers from "most" manufactures including techart are fiberglass or carbon.. I would consider of Replica of those parts, the sides skirts I would try and go something that is poly.

T/A style front and rear end will look great on your C4S Ben, what about a spoiler? GT2 Style or stock?

bruce, not sure bud. if i do move forward, it looks like it'll be the TA authentic side skirt and the rear skirt and keep the GT2 style wing and the front aerokit lip and call it a day.




my c4s has the lower valence areas all body colored which does fine for now. to take it to the next level, for me, it's gotta be TA.
