That same melody was arranged for piano by Hans Lizst, for whom Darwin Pro also named a prior body kit. Why is the company naming its body kits after musicians? "Just as Schubert’s compositions captured the essence of the Romantic era, this kit captures the essence of driving pleasure. It's a celebration of precision, beauty, and unmatched performance—qualities that both Schubert and Porsche are known for," the company states.That said, calling this kit a celebration of beauty serves only to show that such things are in the eyes of the beholder. Because while a rendition of Ave Maria might put tears of joy in our eyes, the look of this <a href="https://carbuzz.com/cars/porsche/">Porsche</a>'s eyes has us tearing up for a different reason. They have a little too much going on, and far too much <a href="https://www.hotcars.com/techart-porsche-911-turbo-s-carbon/">carbon fiber</a>.DarwinPro has surrounded the 911's headlights in a thick ring of the composite material, with two long canards that look like eyelashes coming off of them. It's a bit much for this car, and comes off looking a bit cheap instead of classic and symphonic. Think Pep Boys accessory aisle, not Viennese concert hall.<h2>Aside From Those Headlights, It's A Good-Looking Kit </h2>From there, though, the kit does improve. New carbon fiber pieces surround the front air intakes as well, though they're much more subtle, or, maybe it's just the gaudy headlights that make them look subtle. Below those pieces sits a new front splitter which extends around and into the wheel arches. This part, along with a matching rear diffuser, do change the look of this 911 into something special.Combine that part of the kit with the ducktail rear spoiler, and you might not have the most iconic 911 of all time, but you absolutely have one that stands out. Which is probably the ultimate goal of any aftermarket body kit.<h2>Beyond The Styling </h2>DarwinPro says that its kit will improve the car's <a href="https://carbuzz.com/features/most-aerodynamic-cars/">aerodynamic performance</a>. We haven't tested it, but the maker claims increased downforce and stability at high speeds, not just aesthetic enhancements.The company hasn't revealed pricing for the kit, but expect it to be similar to its standard and similar-appearing BKSSII for the 992 911. That kit is sold in three versions, starting with the basic carbon fiber over fiberglass kit at $6,750. Forged carbon and dry carbon fiber offerings are available to pre-order, from $8,440 and $10,125, respectively. <a href="https://www.topspeed.com/cars/mclaren/2021-mclaren-720s-by-darwinpro-senna-looks-without-all-the-drama/">DarwinPro has an extensive range of body kits</a> for high end vehicles and exotics, with nearly every major brand on its list of offerings.</div></body>
