Default 911R's rear diffuser

Has anyone thought about buying 911R's rear diffuser for your GT3 or GT3RS?

I've checked 911R is not in part system diagram yet! It should be in system at mid June. However, I'm not sure if 991R's rear diffuser will fit onto GT3 or GT3RS. Do any part vendors can chime in about this? TKS!

I guess it should direct bolt on,by the way where did you check the part system?

I'll get one to test as soon as they're available. We also plan to offer a slightly modified version...

Might help keep airflow attached for those with a rear bypass, but big might.

I'm not sure whether it is direct bolt on or not. That's why I'm asking for an answer. As to the place to check part system, I asked RUF Taiwan to do it for me.

I think what's going to really be interesting on the parts replacement topic, is the ability to replace the rear wing with R deck lid treatment and the diffuser.

Replacing RS big wing with R deck lid is a subjective matter. But now we are more curious about if R diffuser can be bolted on to GT3 or RS without messing up factory setting of RS or GT3 downforce

Just removing the RS upright leaves a lovely duckbill setup.. That and the diffuser could be the stealth package

Are there close up shots of this diffuser? From the pics that I've seen it looks the same as any standard GT3/RS.

Most won't go over 100mph, so probably won't matter....

Probably true. OTOH, Porsche has no doubt spent hundreds (thousands?) of engineering hours achieving the proper aero balance on the RS and someone wants to slap on a diffuser from another model.....for looks? It can't be for performance, because no one has any idea what the effect on the car will be. Ugh....
