just an FYI for everyone, the GT2RS which has the underside (main) strakes does *not* have the 4RS strakes that are located behind the wheel so it may be sufficient for a 991.2 car to only install the main components like the 2RS
p.s I suspect that the 4RS specific strakes are there to deal with the modified wheel well shape behind the front wheels ... I expect the 3RS will have similar components there also... since it too has this "cutaway" silhouette

For those that have JackPoint jack stands, be aware that there is an interference issue with the secondary strakes that are mounted behind the wheel well. The JackPoint pad that sits on top of the stand itself has a large enough diameter that it will hit the vertical fins of the strake. A little trimming would clear it up, however I chose not to bother with it. Based on Larry's comment above it may not be necessary even. If I do get to it though I would only use the three mounting holes on the strake that align with what's already on the car - - I wouldn't drill into the liner to accommodate the fourth one.

I was able to install the main strakes this morning with the exception of one fastener that would not engage the undercarriage. It's the longer one that was mentioned above so I know I had the correct one.
