side skirts. Techart or gt2?

I am thinking of getting the Aero lip or tech art side skirts. I like the GT2 but how does it look with the techart 1 front lip? I have a black car

Totally subjective but I think the 997.1 techart stuff makes the car look a bit frumpy and lethargic. The GT2 skirts add a nice wee bit of aggressiveness especially if matched to the aero lip.

Very subjective. Lots of people on both sides of the fence. I would go Techart personally.

I did the TA type 1 front splitter and rear wing along with the GT2 side skirts. There are pics on this site somewhere if you search. I thought the TA side skirts were just a bit too much for me but as stated can't really go wrong with either one.

on a black car, techart looks good (see yumaverick's car). Otherwise it looks very bulky imo.

GT2, Techart ones are too big and spoil the side view IMO.

I for my tastes they TA are looking a tad bulky but I havent seen a black car.

+1 the TA are just to boxy & bulky looking imho,the further away you get from the production date of the car, the more cheesy some of these aftermarket kits look .
