Wow, that actually looks much better than expected. What mounting points were you able to use?

The sump pan guard weighs next to nothing. It is aluminum.

This has got me thinking, i built a front splitter for my Sti before i sold it to get the 911, didn't get a chance to build a rear diffuser, looks like it could be a fun project

Yes. I mounted it straight the pan guard. Not the pan guard mount points. The pan gave it a more rigid base to mount to. The weight all together is prob in the ballpark of 5lbs but I never weigh anything.

Thanks!

So have you already driven it with the diffuser? It will be very interesting to hear how it works out! (And indeed, to see how it works out - if you have a chance to post some pictures when the car is back on the ground.)

It's hard to picture it with it being black.

Thanks for the photos! Looks like it extends further to the back of the car than on a 991R (not surprisingly, as the 991 is longer). So based on my limited understanding of such things, I'm betting it will work pretty well.

On the other hand, while it's hard to see how close it is to the ground from those angles, I'm guessing this is not something that would get along well with speed bumps. Then again, is your car lowered? Anyway, if you have a chance to post any side view pictures, that would be great.

Thanks again!

I would say my car is very low. Backing out of my driveway I only hit my front lip. Doesn't matter what angle I hit it at that front lip scrapes. Diffuser doesn't hit. Pulling it my driveway nothing hits. I do have kwv3 coilovers. With how stiff they are there is very minimal strut/spring movement. If I were on something that moved easier I'd probably scrape. I've had the front splitter on long before the rear diffuser with no issues going over speed bumps. Although I try to avoid them at all cost bc I hate going over them whether I'm in a SUV or my pcars. My cayman on h&r springs hits its rear diffuser made by joe toth a lot easier than my 996. Again though I contribute that to the suspension setup.

Also you can really only position the diffuser a certain way due to the exhaust manifold cut outs that are on the side of the diffuser. I also noticed suncoast removed the diffuser again after I ordered mine. My understanding is Porsche isn't really wanting to sell these to people unless you own a R. So when it was relisted on suncoast I jumped on it. Hopefully Porsche will lighten up and release these permantly for sale.
