Waste of money. Spend the $12k on performance mods, like a SuperCharger.

Sounds like a really bad idea. Too expensive and no warranty? No thanks.

I would agree with Cattman, use that money for go fast goodies or DE + Vacation. $12K w/o warranty for OEM parts.....wow, what a deal

$12000???

I think you're better off to trade up to an 09. You will get facelift, better engine, better PCM, LSD, aux/mps outlet, plus a host of improvements ,etc.

for the dealer....

12k for installing some parts + probably soon some other stuff due to voided warranty.
YIKES!

Sounds like a very bad idea. Performance mods or upgrade to an 09.

I am surprised that any one would even post the question. $12000 for some different bumpers and headlights...yeah right! This would not add any value to a 997.1 if you were to resell it.

Trade your car in and get the 997.2 instead.

if you meant to say $1200 maybe but $12,000 hell NO. I can get the best body kit in the market, make my car looks way better and still saving some money. Also I don't understand why would they cancel your warranty ????

total waste of money, don't even think about it.

might as well spray your car Azurro California Blue and declare to be club coupe #51, it will be cheaper and more unique.
