Agreed stock is better. However in this base Boxster case (mine) that bodykit combination not only made the car look a tad more exotic (and silly maybe), but the driving experience is completely changed as well. That car holds down like on velcro at 200+kmph and cuts right in any type of wind speed. Not sure if it's the GT2 front bumper, the fancy mirrors or the air-flow wrapping those eccentric shaped rocker panels, or all combined, but one thing for sure.... that car is easier than a go-kart to drive and has far-far-far better handling than stock. It is incredibly fun to drive (other Porsche enthusiasts who drove it told me).

All I am trying to say is "modified" can sometime be better than stock. Based on luck of course (unless you have access to a wind tunnel!)
