Um, that roof scoop ... it doesn't go all the way to the engine compartment, which makes it useless.

Someone tell me I'm wrong.

Most roof scoops aren't usually for intakes to the engine. They're usually for downforce.

Looks better in the glossy colors; are people still doing satin black on newer cars? *yawns*

TechArt does sort of a strange thing with their front "overfenders;" they are wider than OE, but actually bond ON TOP OF the original fenders. Always seemed odd to me. It's cheaper than tooling for a complete replacement fender, which is why they do this.

The rear spoiler is a bit much for a street car. I'd lose that. The white car appears to be a non-widebody car. Notice the quarter panels and side skirts?

In profile, the Cayman/Boxster looks like its' wheelbase is too short. Look at that ridiculous front overhang! The TechArt front bumper accentuates this 'flaw' even more. I like the Cayman from some angles, but not as much in the profile view.

On the widebody cars, the rear tires look too wide for the wheels. They are probably using an off-the-shelf 997 wheel and spacing them out to look more aggressive with the widebody. This works, I guess, but isn't the purpose of a wide body to accommodate wide wheels & tires?

I wish they would stop ruining cars with a matt finish. Like black wheels it makes the car look like ****. People will do stupid stuff in the name of uniqueness . Trendy stuff only remains cool for a short time. Stick with the classic look and style and you cant go wrong

I like every design element that Techart has added except for the lower front "fangs." It should be more rounded out in my opinion.

Very sweet, I will take a Cayman S(especially with nice afermarket upgrades) over a normal na 911 anyday. Now the GT2, GT3, and Turbo are a different story..
