Perhaps "Hack Job" was a bit strong but they are still trying to pass it off as a GT3 and that's inexcusable.

The original poster lists his location as Japan. I'll assume then that this is also a Japanese dealership. It's not surprising then that is has a "kit" added as the Japanese really seem to love hanging stuff off perfectly good cars. I personally don't like the aero kits on 996 / 997's. If it's from the factory as part of the GT3 and has function then that's different but typically it's done to make the car look like something it isn't. I hold the same distain for "turbo look" 911's from the '80's.
