Can't do the TechArt sides without an agressive front, will look ricey. Stay with oem stuff man, plenty of cool options to get.
If I were you I'd do the GT2 sides and then eventually get the GT3 front for your car and it will look spectacular. It does not need a wing unless you plan to heavyily track it.



Here's a clear picture of how gt2 sideskirts look on a black car, get them and have them painted gloss black!

While painted GT2 skirts would be the best, I don't think it's NECESSARY to paint them on a black car (whereas it is IMO on a colored car).

Felix good call. That would be so hot. I love the GT cars but just not a fan of most wings on the street. The C4s in all black with 2 skirts and 3 front would be epic with those clean lines and wide hips.

I agree that the Techart SS look best with a more aggressive front end. But while the GT2 SS are good looking, they're a bit too subtle for me. 99.99999% of people won't even notice the difference.

I am 100% with you. The TechArt needs a subtle front lip to go with it... but then again the 997.2 TechArt Front lip is also a great looking addition.

PM me for special pricing

People won't notice the difference but all small details together create a whole package that is way different than stock, see the modena vs. challenge stradale for an example. I think the TechArt sideskirts are really cool but usually paired with a huge wing and an uber-agressive front.

Here's what it would look like from the rear, don't forget to lower it. Cheap way with springs or more expensive proper way with coilovers.

BTW, don't listen to the dealer about you having to get the GT3 wing to balance out the aerodynamics, he's 100% correct if you plan to track the car and if that's your main purpose with the car maybe you should get it.
