Another J1.1 Turbo GT body kit…

[Taycan4S_UK]

Saw this on fb group. Honestly I think it looks awesome.

There is a kit for j1.1 and j1.2.

I don’t mind the rear bumpers, with the fake vents

Having a j1.2 already, I’m sure it all just bolts up nicely.

I still say “don’t bedazzle your Porsche”. Adding pieces from higher trims is tacky IMO.

I wouldn’t class this as “replica” . You can get the same trim across almost all Taycan.
Example a base j1.1 could look identical to turbo s if you spec carbon package and ceramic.
J1.2 separate turbo/turbo S and GT.

Just the sports package, which was an option on all taycan trims

¿Cuánto cuesta? With the right paint color, shipment, and installation, we could expect steep pricing?

Each to their own.

It doesn't look cohesive to me at all at the front. Like the pieces don't fit properly.

And I hate fake vents. So the rear takes the worst of the J1.2 foibles.

But if you like it, go for it. Just be mindful that it will kill your used market/value.

The bits that Porsche adorns their cars with are almost exclusively functional (cooling, handling, efficiency, etc) and some are model specific. They also do a nice job integrating them into their designs for aesthetic purposes. The arbitrary application of these bits for decorative purposes is what I euphemistically call "bedazzling" as they undermine the basic ethos of the brand. Furthermore, to the well trained eye, it just looks silly.

That said, you do you.

These are original porsche parts that you could spec on a j1.1 taycan base, by choosing the sports package

If you consider them tackled on, porsche tackled them on

You can just as well select sports package, when configuring a brand new taycan, on any porsche trim, and get them.

There is no bedazzling, cars come like this from the factory

My fav j1.2 design is on the turbo with sport design front and j1.1 sports design rear... that's a killer combo.

Example attached !

This kind of “costume jewelry” looks absolutely horrendous on a Taycan IMHO. Ferdinand Porsche must be rolling over in his grave.

They aren’t costume

they are porsche parts, shipping with the sports package, out of Porsche’s factory

Why?

It unbolts as easily as it bolts. Smart move would be to put it back to stock and sell the kit used if selling. No different than aftermarket wheels strategy.

Because aftermarket body addenda never add value and potentially limit the market.

If they can be simply unbolted, the originals are kept and look OK when added back on (paint etc) then maybe fair enough.

Wheels are the same in this, but easier to switch out.
