So what do you guys think about the different aero mod companies? The ones I have seen are Wicked-7, Gemballa, and Tech-art. I really like the clean lines of the Gemballa, but I also love the wide back on the Wicked-7.
This makes no sense to me. Do you have any idea how much one of thse aerokits costs ? The techart (my favorite and on my car) will run anywhere from 15K to 30K installed (maybe more for a GT street).
Plus the time it takes to order and paint it plus install takes time. It's not like you can order this on a Monday and by Tuesday it's on your car.

Gemballa -- all I priced was the hood and it was near 5K. I never heard of wicked .

You are presenting the idea of spending 60 thosand dollars at least on an 85K car what will take a year on and off to build (it took me 18 months) and will be worth 80K (on by then a 5 year old car) when you are done and have no warranty left .

Most people who customize at this level do it on a new car or they buy a car where the mods are worth 25 percent of what the first owner paid. Although time also has a price too . The day i go to sell my car I will remember how much time I placed into it along with my tuners and technicians and the new buyer woild either face paying for some of that or I'd keep my car. But that's another thing -most who do this want to keep his car. I would rather sell my house than my Turbo . I am not kidding .. that's how much i love my car.

If you buy a used car --I would limit the mods .
If you want all the creative aerokits and parts --either buy one already created so build one with a new car.
In fact the idea of a Turbo S with all the newest and greatest would place your car on the cutting edge . It would cost you 250 instead of 150 but I never said that creating a world class Turbo was cheap.

I do not find this to be complicated at all, it took me 10 secs.
Buy an 09, the last of the GT1's. Get a stick, send to favorite tuner and blow away any 2010 you come across. I am willing to wager anyone who has a PDK Turbo 1) is not as good of a driver and 2) will never make a move on you at or above 140 mph

If they do I would love to see this outcome. My modded 09 has yet to come across anything that can beat it and I have not done anything crazy to the car. I feel bad for the ****** bag in the 599 I left last summer on I 94 with a dumb *** look on his face

I have come across one other modded Turbo and my car was still faster, thank you Evo and Sharkwerks
