Yes, your right. Being a one-of-a-kind Boxster can cost you dearly. That's the same reason I just painted my rear bumperrets and added the diffusers instead of replacing the entire rear bumper for one of those european styled ones with no bumperrets. I figure, if I get hit in the rear, the bumperrets may save the main bumper from any more major damage. Like the frame work underneath too.

Not sure if I like it. More so because the front gaurds aren't widened too, looks unbalanced?

Funny you said that, because it's the same rear end wide body. Only difference is this company went the extra mile and molded the seems into the fenders and the other company with that wierd front end did not. Same kit, different fronts. 2 different companies.

Do you have a picture of the other car with the rear kit, and the weird front end? And also, any links to more info on that other one as well? I'd like to see/compare to this setup... Thanks in advance
