    Why does Porsche does this to their own cars

    There are tuners making better (stil ugly) kits than this one.
    This is a TT Cab equipped with aero kit front lip and rear spoiler. It's hard to believe , but this is what Porsche has to offer for one their most expensive cars.
    Look how much out of proportion is the front bumper compared to the side skirts The front looks so much lower than the middle of the car
    The front lip seems more like a lousy head on aftermarket cheap piece of plastic, while the rear spoiler is completly out of place in that rear.
    And why do insist on dropping on US Turbos the Cayenne suspension it looks ready for a off road ride together with my Range
    Profit just doesn't justify everything if you know what I mean.

    When Porsche sells the Aerokit as an option, the lower sideskirts are painted to match. In this case they'd be silver and would look 100% better.

    my TTS is with aerokit and i had a tt x50 before it with aerokit also and they look absolutely beautiful !
    more beautiful than a TT without aerokit IMO
    and the front of the car isn't lower at all, because if you order aerokit turbo they give you a front lip + rear spoiler + they paint the lower section on both left and right sides of the car, and in the pic's you posted he should've painted that as well but i guess he didn't know !
    P.S the rear spoiler looks ugly on the cab IMO

    The wing on that TT Cab looks really "heavy", doesn't look right.

    in all honesty the 996 Turbo looks so amazing that you could do anything to it and it'll still look great.

    Well, this pic, is the clear denial of what you all have said. The side skirts are painted and still the front bumper is much lower than the side skirts, while the rear bumper lower line doesn't match the side skirts too

    If this picture does not convince you then nothing will do

    you can paint the rear bumper if you like but most of the cars these days the rear bumper does not match the middle and front of the car, and i belive that if its important then porsche wouldve painted that as well

    Dont forget,folks,that Porsche don't install the aero kits through violence,right!So,I just want to say,that if someone has good taste,he can make his own Porsche to look just gorgeous,using the most suitable parts!!!

    Re: Why does Porsche does this to their own cars

    the aerokit is fine for the coupes but looks like serious crap on the cab - which is why porsche id not offer it - this is not a factory job
