I Vote For TechArt ....
 
Well that's nice on the Real 997 GT3, but on a 997 CS I'll go for Full-TechArt ;)

Generally I like the aerokit, except for the rear wing - it's just too much. I like the rest of it though. Are those add-on side and rear skirts? There are other aftermarket options that are as nice and probably cost less. I've seen it at a local dealer in white and silver, and liked it on both.

i actually like it without the aerokit... odd. with the aerokit the side looks naked without a side skirt. the rear bumper looks naked too with a heavy looking wing on top. the car just doesn't look balanced. i wish the aero II will look better on 997 but that's few years down the road... :(

this is certainly the last best thing. :p

not as aggressive but very elegant imo.

I feel the opposite, i know this is just my opinion, but i think a stock carrera looks terrible without the aero kit. It just makes the car look to round and weak without. The aerokit looks so aggressive i love it. Somehow without, it looks to much like a bug to me.:confused:

Not sold

.... AT ALL!

techart all the way!

I like it but not with the lobster forks...
However, if i ever get an NA 997 -> INDY for sure :D

I prefer TechArt but I do like this one. If I was in the market for a carrera and seen this car for sale, I'd seriously consider it.

LUISGT3 Nov 1, 2005 07:49 AM

I like it. I also like the Techart with their 20"'s.

Not lovin' it. The wing is ridiculous and belongs on a honda.

The sides do nothing for the car, and the front is weak. Surely there will be better aftermarket units.

Doctor K Nov 1, 2005 08:25 AM

Way TOO much tail. The car looks phony with that huge tail.
Can't someone design a tail that flows with the body. This car looks like a rooster with a woody.

deputydog95 Nov 1, 2005 08:35 AM

geees, i never thought i'd hear a comment that a wing is "too big" on this forum :)

anyway, i saw a red one in person on saturday. i'm not sure if the silver is just too plain on this car or what, but it looked pretty good in the flesh on a guards red.

it does need some side skirts to even it out some though.

Paul S Nov 1, 2005 09:09 AM

It will look good... on a GT3.

Kinesis 996 Nov 1, 2005 10:20 AM

Why will it only look good on a GT3?

If it looks good, it looks good period. GT3 is based on that car as well except for the engine, brakes, and the suspension etc otherwise is the same body style.

Sounds like you guys like it only because of its power thats why you think of the shape is ok and if the power isn't there like the GT3 then is not ok. And then some of you will say "O because that is functional on a GT3." So does that mean it isn't functional on this car?

Just like on the other thread where the 996 cab with a GT3 badge. Seriously i don't think that car look bad AT ALL except for the GT3 badge otherwise all you 996 guys are driving THE SAME THING if not more or less. That car have a GT3 kit on a cab and i think it is pretty nice. Though the badge part is really gay but the words you guys use to describe it is just not acceptable. Is like saying that your very own 996 is gross!?!?

No flames intended for ANYONE but think about it.
