Pete, I know that you were not sure if the GT4 front bumper was the correct look for you but for me it is exactly what I wanted. I wanted the more aggressive look of the GT4 but without the wing. If you give it another try, sand down the seam lines, fill the front tag dimples. Have you decided if you want to weld the attachment tab to the OEM impact bar or are you going to buy a GT4 bar? Don’t forget to get a bottle of touch up paint.

I have been asked to post pictures of the Frog Venom spoiler, so here are a bunch of photos in different light:




These first two show the difference between the OEM GTS spoiler height and the new GT4 (Frog Venom) rear spoiler.








These shots show the definition of the spoiler and the panel gaps. These were taken late afternoon








These show the profile from the rear taken in morning light.





Some more photos from the front of the spoiler. I forgot to get some pictures of the spoiler in the up position, I will take some of those pictures later. Samuel’s Auto Body did a phenomenal job filling, sanding and matching the color to make this piece look like it is a Porsche OEM part. It is also cool that I can now see it when it pops up at speed 😃

Steve,
This actually come over in higher resolution than the others you sent, so this is very helpful.
Thanks again!

Thanks so much! Really helpful!

Do you have any with the spoiler up? I feel like there aren't many good pics of that.

That’s interesting, they are the exact same pictures taken with my iPhone. I wonder why they’re are different? But glad that you like these better.

I know, I was really dumb !! I didn’t think about when I had the car out taking the other pictures. I didn’t think about it until I was posting these pictures. I will take some and post them soon.

Gaps look perfect. Nice to see that.

I went to Porsche breakfast this morning at a balmy 75 degrees. There were just a few Zone 12 members there for some reason. But I took a few pictures and remembered to take a few of the rear spoiler in the raised position. Happy Holidays to everyone !!

Looks great. I got mine earlier this week and dropped it into the body shop. They were pretty impressed with the quality of it, although they were curious why Duck Venom were painting carbon when everyone usually wants it lacquered - maybe it's a pretty cost effective way of shifting their seconds.

I’m glad that you got your Frog Venom spoiler. You might be 100% correct in saying that the primered versions are seconds and not ready to be an exposed carbon version. Are there any pinholes or weaving that you can see on yours?

No weave but there were a couple of pinholes around the front right edge - nothing the bodyshop were overly concerned about though. They said for peace of mind they'd be sanding it back and re-primering it anyway as at least they know what they are working with so will be interesting to see what they thought of it bare.
