Looks amazing!! Bravo!
I just went through the same process but decided to do the install myself. It's pretty straight forward once you have the awesome instructions that the very generous fellow Rennlister, Plenum provides. That gentleman's top notch. I choose not to add the sunroof module at this present time, but more than likely will do so in the near future.
I do have a quick question, did you ever get a 'Check high level brake light warning' ? I have had my dealer program out the active spoiler, don't get the spoiler malfunction warning now but keep getting the 'check high level brake light'. I've been to my local independent Porsche shop and they can't figure it out either, everything that needs to be updated using PWIIS is correct.
Just throwing it out there to the community for advice...Your car looks brilliant! Ducktails for life...
Disconnect, check and reconnect the harness that plugs into the brake light. I would get that message sometimes as well when applying the brakes. Checking my connections fixed it.
Update...
It's a weird one but my high level brake light warning was due to the pins on the Porsche supplied wiring harness for the ducktail that came with the kit not matching the pins on the main body harness to which it connects.
Fortunately I work in an industry along side Avionic tech's who had a look and metered all the pins and outputs and it was pretty obvious where the issue lay. Both Porsche harnesses that are included in the kit, one for a coupe and one for a cabriolet where pinned incorrectly. When the harness was connected to the body side the #8 red/black wire in the DT harness matched against a blank spot in the connector on the body side. Those connectors are tricky to take apart without breaking the locking tabs. Fortunately I had the spare cabriolet one to play with before trying to do the same on my installed harness. With a bit of finesse and of course the expertise of my co-worker, we changed the pins to correlate with the body harness side, metered the outputs and bingo, the brake light worked.
Don't understand why they didn't match but it's all sorted out and just took a little bit of digging around from the right guy to figure it out pretty quick.
Thanks for your suggestions, appreciate it.
The Sport Design option includes the front and rear spoiler (duck).
Is there a known aero significance or possible consequence of only using the rear?
Thanks. Possibly but I'm not worrying about it. My car is a SPASM car with the added front lip and higher rear spoiler. I doubt there is much difference between the ducktail and rear spoiler. Regardless I did this for looks.

Do you recall which pin(s) you moved? I have the same issue and think I’ve narrowed it down, but would appreciate any insight you have. Also, any recommendations for how to disassemble the harness to move the pin?
I received the spoiler, along with a bunch of other parts from Suncoast for this. 2 support plates, one for the duck and then one for new vent slats?? In the box was additional rear vent slats as well as a block-off for the 3rd brake light. I called SunCoast to inquire as to why it came with all the extra parts and the guy claimed it was supposed to come with it but also wasn't very convincing. Has anyone else run into this? The main reason I ask is because I'm not quite sure what needs to be replaced and what doesn't at this point. I've read the porsche step by step which really isn't anything to brag about. I have hte wiring harnesses, which I expected to get, but the rest has me a little confused as there really isn't any mention of the slats from everything I've read.
