both the skirting and front bumper can be removed without any damage to the car. A simple do it yourself. I thought the front bumper was complicated but as it turns out its just a matter of unscrewing a few points.

as for resale it will add to the value of the car as it would cost someone at least $2000-$2500 to add these mods on their own. Or if you sell the car you can take off the bumper and skirting and put the stock bumper back on. I'd say in good used condtition you can get half your money back easy, people much prefer the factory polyurethane over the aftermarket fiberglass which is fragile.

the only but is that the Gt3 bumper makes the wheels look smaller so if you have 17" wheels they'll look like 16". A nice set of 18" replica Carrera 5 spokes or Turbo Twists is ideal.

If you can swing it go for it. It makes the car look allot more expensive and that always attracts buyers.
