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.

Yes, it will look like a million dollars rolling around, if you don't it may look funny especially with the GT3 front. You can get cheap H&R springs, we had those on ours and they rode great but if I would re-do it I'd coin up for some real coilovers.

^^ My favorite option is all stock with GT2 skirts, and nothing else, maybe except a drop.
Also to the op, Akrapovic makes one of the best sounding exhausts for the 997.2.

An Akropvic, GT2 skirts, a suspension, maybe an ECU upgrade and a few other minor things and that car would be perfect.

Ok. I'm now leaning more toward the Techart SS and front lip. I'm also going to look into a drop. I havent lowered a car since highschool when we cut the springs on my civic lol any recommendations on how much of a drop on this car looks good. Note: I'm not looking to plow snow. I want a decent drop that makes the car look good...not ricey.
Thanks all
