Ordered clear side markers and Alcantara Euro-style (no stickers) visors in preparation for my Spyder RS.

@MechEngr1287 Please report back after install! I have the JCR manifolds/OAP kit and was considering the Ackra rear section

Handwashed before getting tucked away for winter.





See y’all in 2024.
@6IXSPD looks sweet man! Where did you get the door pulls?

WOW! How did I miss this? I was looking for this type of spoiler when I first got my car but stopped searching. Do you have more pics from further away, like a full profile pic?

I'll check out your build thread too.

The company is out of stock on the unpainted versions.

I've also got a shark blue GTS and on the fence about getting this upgrade. Let me know how you like it if you get it!

I think you need to email or message them on Instagram since the website always says out of stock I believe.

Here are a couple of pics of mine. I love it!





Also check out my thread as well, many more pics there. @OldJedi and I did our "GT4 Touring" builds collaborating together.

Frog Venom was out of stock when I went to buy them too. I keep kidding Pete @IL_Pete that he bought the last spoiler and then told me about them. They got them in stock in about a month after I ordered one. Contact Lin at FV and have him put you on his waiting list, send him an email and let him know that you want to buy a GT4 spoiler.

Now….. mine came in and it needed a lot of work to be made smooth and ready for paint although it is advertised as ready to paint. Pete got his and it did not have any issues and Pete painted it right away. On mine you could see some of the CF weave through the primer and there were a lot of pin holes to be filled. They also have an exposed CF spoiler that ‘Maybe’ won’t need any work other than sanding and painting. I have not seen an exposed CF spoiler from FV so I can not tell you how it looks or how thick the clear coat is. I hope this helps. Here are a couple of profile pictures.

Thanks. I emailed him. I would want mine painted, so I'll have my body shop prep and paint it. Other than that, is this a simple bolt-on replacement?

My understanding is that it is. I didn’t do mine as I had Flat 6. Motorsports do all of the installation of the parts but it is supposed to be very simple. Raise the spoiler and lift the rear hatch so you can see the front leading edge of the spoiler. Under the leading edge and from the open hatch side there should be six screws. Remove these six screws and pull up and forward towards the open hatch to remove. I ordered six new screws and six new C clips rather than use the screws and clips from the OEM spoiler. Porsche numbers (6) 999-507-785-01 Speed Nuts (C-Clips) & (6) N-909-868-03 Round Head Screws. You can try taking off your existing spoiler to see what you need to do before the GT4 spoiler arrives.

Also Lin will give you a multi unit discount if you order more than one spoiler that is shipped to the same location but you have to ask him for a discount. Let me know if you need anything else.

I got in on a couple of Black Friday deals. Installed the side scoop screen and uploaded the 93 octane stage one tune with a Cobb Accessport. Pic of the screen is below. No more sucking up leaves for me

Five hundo for a pair of fabric pulls. Lol. If that isn't the biggest Porsche premium punch in the face so far I don't know what is. I'd of course pay it, but I'd be pissed off about it.
