991.1 engine vents on a 991.2 rear looks great! I personally love the .1 style vents as they add those painted dynamic "bump curves" to the rear which to me really works well on the voluptuous 991 body. Especially at side profile.

Thanks for the image.

But now that I’ve seen it in a picture, I’m just getting the Sport design rear wing.

Why couldn't you match the air ducts from a GT2 RS with a ducktail from a .1, it would look much better with the sculpted duck compared to the squared off edges in the pic above.

In person that spoiler looks incredible and makes the 911 look like an alien rocket spaceship.

Unfortunately no one knows if it can provide sufficient air flow to the engine.

If anyone could provide a price on it, it would be helpful. Suncoast maybe? For the GT2-RS set up without the crazy tall wing (Just the ducktail as in pic) . Anyone care to guess a price? $10K?

The GT2-RS is turbo as well, and it gets enough?

they get the all so important side ducts which swallow air.

Quote from an email response I got from RUF - "Yes we do have this Ruf RT-35 rear lid in stock and can offer you, but please note, you need a experienced bodyworker to fit the rear lid to your 911.

alright, we need someone to jump on this and be the guinea pig!

What do they mean by experienced bodyworker? Somebody who's capable of properly painting, fitting, and then re-code the vehicle? Or are we talk about about someone who's knowledgeable in doing something more extensive?

"Experienced Bodyworker" - german english for just a reputable body shop?! (not sure why but my first image was the Amsterdam red light district ) The shipping price is to the US. When I told then I was in Sydney, AU it went up to EU 500!

PLEASE - someone give it a go. RUF is super reputable but before I risk shipping it downunder would love to learn more from someone's install!

Yes, doubled check with them that it was for 991.2. Just released at Geneva - I don't think their online shop has been updated yet

The RUF rear wing does not extend, right?

Is there a missing digit in that price for the RT35? It's an order of magnitude different from the US importer price.

EDIT: duh, just realized the USA RUF site price is for the full body kit.
