So, not only do I like them, but they are aerodynamically superior to the non slats! Isn't Porsche engineering amazing.

I mean....they're no DB Carbon but I do what I can 🤣

Those look nice.
Nice price, too.
Did you order them direct from the Berlin, Germany website?

I did yes. I figured for the price, it was worth a try.

No doubt! DB Carbon stuff is great. I’ve spent a bit of cash between DB Carbon and Exclusive Option!

They're ok. I spend a lot of time reading things on the internet so I figure that qualifies me for ...... not sure what exactly, but I'm learning a lot of new acronyms! I just got my arms around this one - TL;DR

Thank you! I actually did some research before I ordered them and came across the few posts that referenced them. Not a lot of info about them, which is kind of surprising.
