Awesome build! Did the hood come with the ducts underneath?
They did not, But you can purchase the OEM Cup Car ones or generic NACA ducts and paint them. They are useless on this car because they are intended for cabin cooling for the driver on the Cup Car or brake cooling on the 991.1/2 GT3RS.

I was WAY overdue for an oil change, not by mileage but rather time. Ordered up some parts from Suncoast Parts and my favorite oil I have used for years to conduct a service. Using the iCarSoft OBDII computer I also reset all service intervals. I have read that checking the oil level in the 981 is a "black magic" task. I have to agree with that statement as many things have to happen before you can check the oil. While I realize a dry sump system is different, Porsche makes a simple task, much more difficult. Anyways here are a couple of pictures as always!
It is NOT an actual TechArt spoiler. I'm all for supporting companies and understand R&D costs, but I'm not a fan of being bent over for 4k for what that thing is made out of. It is a knock off that I took the time to sand/fill and get it right before paint. There are products that are just not worth the price tag IMO and some companies that just take advantage of the customer makeup metrics.
All the decals are OEM from Suncoast Porsche Parts except the door decals that say "Street Cup". I had those made.
where did you get it from? I was looking at the baysonr version but couldn’t find any reviews from people that got it

I was waiting for someone to ask this, ALIBABA! You just have to put in some body work and take your time and its the same thing. Like you probably, I found that too many companies were bringing them over and overcharging so I wasn't going to have that.
So I wasn’t always a fan of the height and angle of the Tech Art style wing uprights.
Deman Motorsports makes a wing kit for the 981 that utilizes the same base but a 997 GT3 wing blade. Deman Motorsport created their own wing uprights that to me, looked like they would work perfectly to enhance the look of the Street Cup.
After emailing back and forth with them, they were gracious enough to sell me a set so I could try to accomplish my vision. I’m happy to report that with some work, filling in holes, sanding & painting, the results look good. Let me know your thoughts!
Working on a custom matte/dry carbon cup hood replacement. My good friend owns a composite company (Marsh Composites) and we wanted start making hoods for the 991/981. He already has made hoods for 997’s. I’m going for a Gt2rs esque look.
Porsche hoods are an optical illusion. First, they are much larger then they appear on the car. A larger 76” roll had to be used and look at the difference from the same angle front to back.
FYI for anyone, Suncoast parts is finally selling the GT4RS fill covers. They were selling labels to replicate the "Oil" and "WATER" lettering that Porsche finally decided to display. These are also all black and do not have a chrome ring. Naturally, I picked up a set. To most its not needed or "silly". However, the small things add up.
