That is a big box. I'll bet it cost plenty with PORSCHE printed on it. So...what's in the box that you are going to install on your Box ?

Thstone is correct. It's my Aero Kit II

I ordered it over a month ago as it had to be shipped from The factory in Germany. I'll most likely save it for my winter project.

Looks awesome! You will never regret going with the OEM Aerokit.

You'll have no issues with fitment, etc...

Can't wait to see what you have for rims coming down the line.

Any photo of it installed? I'm not sure if it was a good idea to paint that horizontal bar at the radiator intakes or leave it black. I think it looks better if the bar is black to make the hole appears large and aggressive looking.

It shouldn't cost $1200. From my experience it will cost about $500, here's the break down:

-material (paint, primer, thinner, etc...) is under $200. Any top of the line product (from PPG, ANobel, HoC, etc...)
-labor is about 2hr prep sand body fill + 1hr prime + 1hr paint @$40-50/hr
-equipment fee would be about $200... just a guess.

I'm a part time bodyman and painter. Painting like that is cake walk! There's no masking or anything except few holes!
