Hofele Design Bodykit
 

Johnny Danger's post on the new GT3 bumper kit reminded me about this kit I saw a while back & forgot to share:

Another refreshingly modern & clean kit.

....although not that I see the HUGE pics, it looks like there are some fitment issues under the sides of the fenders...

This is one of the few body kits that I've liked. It's a clean look, yet different, IMHO.

Yup, you have a good eye . Once a person has gone through the process of installing a body kit, their eye becomes trained to identify these kinds of fitment problems. Even in the hands of a skilled professional, these kits can be a nightmare to get right . Not to mention, significant cost overruns in time and labor .

Love it! Most non-OEM bumpers are a bit out there, but this looks modern, simple and like it would integrate well with the rest of the car when stock. Nice1

Other than that... I DO like it.

I love the rear bumper without bumperrets..
Is there a way to remove bumperrets on stock rear bumper?

ps, notice that the stripes down the side have been photoshopped in afterwards (compare the two images and find 10 differences ...); begs the question if other aspects of the images have been modified as well ...

I thought that too, I do like the look of the rear bumper but it it seems to be photoshopped quite a bit, check out above the exhaust something doesn't look quite right.
The front bumper treatment is different to most others I have seen but personally I would prefer less angular line around the centre grill.

But thats just my taste ;)

The dividers in the front grill area are too angular and does not complement the rest of the 986's curves. It's not bad but it looks like an obvious afterthought.

YEah, I picked up on that, too. Not perfect, but still nice enough IMO to look good.

Any one out there have the Hofele?
 

Yes, I know I am bringing back a very old thread...but....

It seems like the only pics I can find on line are only the ones from Hofele themselves (yes, these very same ones on this thread that are from years ago). I am quite intrigued on this......the kit looks almost OEM to me, yet modern, and not like everyone else with a 986

So questions: does any one out there have the Hofele front or rear bumpers? Was there/is there in fact fitments issues? Would you be willing to share a few pics? I would love to see one of the kits on a real persons car, not just pics the company's own photos. Because if one get the front and rear bumpers, and the wing, it's a lot of money $$$$ sight unseen

Appreciated!
