Techart Full Kit yes or no?

I am thinking about getting full Techart kit but it is pretty expensive... Do you think it is worthed compared to just painting the lower piece

Option A:
Paint lower valance = $1000

Option B:
Full Techart Kit = around $6000
Turbo front Bumper = 300-400
Paint job = $2000
Total = 8500 MAX

Hey Deetz,
Here is how I would do my Cayenne if I had one:
Gemballa Front Bumper (~$3500 Retail)

Gemballa Rear Bumper (~$2500 Retail)

Flared Fenders (Required for the front and rear bumper)(~$2000 Retail)

Paint/Install:~$2,500 MAX
Total:$10,500
So you would be $2000 more than the techart, but come on, the Gemballa is sooooo much cooler... For 2000 more you are getting a while new front bumper (not just an addon)...
This is just my opinion
Evan

It is quite a bit of money to swallow, but if you want the kit, go for it. Just remember that the kit will not add any value for the trade in on your Cayenne Turbo. I also like the Gemballa kit more, but both kits truely transform the look of the Cayenne.

The techart headlight overs would not be a problem, they would look fine.
As for the wheels, the options would be new outters and inners to change the offset, or the easier way would be spacers... The flares are about 1" so you could use 23mm spacers which would bump them out just under an inch.

Hey Man, hows everything???
These are the prices I remeber seeing in our computer (I don't have the exact numbers in front of me). These are authentic Gemballa. I could be wrong on the numbers, I have to check Monday, but I think I am pretty close.

Evan if those gt700 pictures you posted costs $10500 ill buy it from you tonight. But I think your mistaken. The one your referring too with the prices is the gemballa GT 600 Aero Kit 1 not the GT700 Aero kit 3. The Aero Kit 3 costs 23,760.00 not including hood. With the prices you mentioned there is no way its the gt700 "pictures you posted"

this is what you will get with the prices u mentioned. turst me because im planning to get it soon and I did a lot of research on the prices.
*this is the gt 600*

Jamy,
I know exactly what you are saying (rember I quoted you for the Areo 3). However the Areo 3 includes a good deal more than just the front bumper, fender flares, and rear bumper, and does add up to 25K... Again let me double check my figures this week, but I am pretty positive they are close!!

Save your money. Have the body shop prep and smooth the lower skirts and valance and add the Sportec front bumper add on. The Gemballa looks cool but not worth the $30K! If you want to throw 30K back into your car sell it and buy a Turbo.
