I bought these AWE airfoils before I got the car, but wanted to drive it for a bit before installing to see a before/after effect. I just installed them (took 3 minutes per side, which includes the time it took to walk back to the work bench for the part that I left there ). It certainly looks good, OEM, and is easily reversible. When it stops raining, I'll try them out to see if it helps the buffeting. Without them, one MUST have both windows open, at least partially, otherwise it's unbearable.

These work GREAT! With both windows down, there's zero buffeting and very little wind, even at triple-digit speeds (in Mexico). With only the drivers window down, there's no wind at all.
I give these a two Adam's Thumbs Up ;-)
PS I installed my GT4 shifter.. I never would have thought I'd say this, but I LOVE being an inch shorter!

No one forgot. He would have had to option Extended Deviated Stitching to get the boot done, and the steering wheel is also included.

Interesting...I got Yellow on my boot, and as far as I can recall I did not have to select it separately. I did select a leather steering wheel and shift boot though.

I somehow never realized that this forum won't allow me to edit older posts. My intent of making a post here that would serve as my 'things to get' list and evolving it over time is not going to pan out.
List growing though:
List growing though:
- Full ppf protection
- rennline phone mount
- T-Design9 memory module
- blendmount for mirror radar detector install
- An exhaust of some sort - will be using the summer to try to hear as many setups as I can find locally and decide from there. (For now, likely to be Soul SS OAP and rear section, though I fear hearing a JCR Inconel will make me bust out the credit card)
- p1 designs inserts (Pending if I stay with buckets or not, otherwise they'd be ordered already)
- 992 GT3 yellow pattern 6MT shift **** (again, pending bucket/interior spec final decisions)
- edguard protectors (same conditional pending)
- grille inserts
- Clear front marker lights
- Porsche lettering for wing/4.0 endplates
- frunk and trunk liners
- frunk lid protector (I'm sure I've seen this here, but can't find it now. something I believe intended to protect the aluminum panel in the event you had something too tall in the frunk - any ideas?)
- ctek trickle charger (maybe the one from my current F80 lithium battery is interchangeable)
- soft-sided luggage set
- line up powdercoating of brake calipers
- designsbyjacob front lift kit
- AWE airfoil window deflectors

I finally got around to installing my Numeric pedals! If you're frustrated with how hard it is to heel-toe in this car on the street, you'll want a set of these. Not as easy as my ND Miata was, but definitely better than without them. They also look great! I think Porsche designed the pedals for the heavy braking on a track, which makes it difficult to reach the throttle pedal under light braking. I'm working to master heel-toe shifting before I start playing with the auto-blip feature.

Worst case Exclusive Option should be able to do it for you, but don’t know if stitching will be 100% match.
