$55k for a 997.1 with an aerokit? I feel like I could buy a 997 for mid 30s and add an aerokit for less than $20k. No?

I can appreciate other opinions, but Bose is a marketing company and not a state-of-art sound company. I will take Burmester in a heart beat. Just saying.

I would too, but not at the price Burmester costs. That's mostly a function of what I listen to in the car and the fact that I can't afford it.

That said, Bose is fine for a sports car although I do have Burmester with the 991.2 and Bang & Olufsen in the DB.
Because a member mentioned Bose as a premium, and it is not, IMHO. If you know audio, as I do, forget about Bose. I have to replace it in my 2007 997.1 Carrera S. My point? Having Bose is like saying my car has tires.

c'mon there are definitely factory systems worse than the bose in the 997... The crappy "premium" stuff in my 530i comes to mind. and the loud but not good sounding stuff in Fords.

Yup, I did that as well (and posted in that thread). Attached is my write-up in PDF format and here's a link to the thread - https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...2-15-a-22.html

The wing is discontinued from what I've read/heard.
The bumper possibly available end of may/early june according to suncoast

I have a brand new bumber, haven't decided If I want to install or not, and I also have a used aero wing.

I can't decide if I want to just keep the classic 911 look or add it, or go with a ducktail.
