Did you go with OEM RS front fenders or aftermarket?

It will be too wide where it meets the fender, if we're talking OEM. If you buy those chinese knock offs, they have the ones that will fit stock fenders.

hey Thx for the prompt response!

so working with the Chinese knock off idea… do any underlying structures like radiators and actual functional pieces need to be modified or do the larger air intakes of the GT2 RS style not cause any problems due to their larger size (I wouldn’t want to accidentally block any airflow leading to an important rad or whatever)?

Any links to the knock off would be appreciated (or a company name to help point me in the right direction) 😀😀

thx !

Can't help you there... I have no idea, really. Never bought anything knock off... The fitment, based on what I read, is usually crap. Good luck though.

The ONLY replica I would consider would only come from Wicked Porsche. I don't know how they do it, but the fit is perfect. Still expensive, but your Porsche is WORTH It! Please leave the knock offs to the Honda crowd.

Ok thx again for the feedback, much appreciated 👍🏼

Yes, I found the wicked Porsche version a few days ago. Looks like it’s going for 15 grand… with all the spelling mistakes on the website I honestly thought it was a Chinese knock off company but perhaps someone knows better.

would definitely want good fitment, considering the rest of the car is so attention to detail/high fit&finish

thx Guys!
