Bodykit for 997s

Front and rear bumper covers are damaged as well as passenger side rocker panel - if i get a bodykit will that replace front/rear bumper covers? If i get sideskirts do they mount right over rocker panel? Also which kit do you think looks best on 997s?

TIA!

The bumpers are complete units - not sure how the rockers attach...

My favorite body kit is the Ruf Rt12 kit - AWESOME.

I think your insurance adjuster is going to think you staged the damage so you could get a free body kit

I am not a fan of the side skirts on the 997, 996 yes, but not the 997. Imo it does not need them. GT3 front bumper would be nice.

I am personally going to do a front aerokit + rinspeed indy side/rear.. I am still looking for a wing to finish it off, might just modify the turbo wing.

i know the front is 3500
the rear spoiler is 3700 or so
plus paint and installation yeah will be north of 10k easily.

I talked to Hans from Ruf - he told me it would be $10K for the whole thing (parts/paint/install). I don't know if that was a special deal with the Kompressor, but that's what I was told.
