I recommend u spend 90 secs on this movie clip...it's that good:

Hahaha! I’m happy to help anyone who wants to take this on. As far as mass producing…it’s not my line of business. I’d starve while trying to sell enough of these to make a living. 😂

The version from Suncoast is too tempting! But I like the carbon fiber one that was added to my 991.2 before I purchased it in July. It matches well, is understated, and has just enough pop. Maybe someday I'll get an upgraded ***. Or just ride the one I married.

I will contact the prior owner and ask him. He added it.

He claimed that it did not need modification but the temperatures were too high without the mods. Basically a worthless wing for a 991.2 unless you let it deploy via oem deployment which caused too much drag and was unsightly when deployed. It looked really stupid when that ducktail went up at 78 mph and when it was hot. After back and forth with the seller, I decided to keep it and modify it. The vents are needed. Don’t underestimate how much air these turbos need under stressed circumstances! Things can get hairy quickly if you don’t vent them the right way. I added two photos off of websites that sell tech art spoilers and the difference between the 991.1 (yellow) and 991.2 (green) is the added air vents. The pics show the rear spoiler air vent on the green, and there is one on the front of the spoiler as well just not seen in this picture.







That Green car is a point 1, it has point 1 lights.

Whilst that black section does look like a vent, I think it is just a black panel from other shots on Techart website.

Can you confirm it is an actual vent with a close up pick please. As when i zoom in, it just appears to be a panel.

Agreed the point 2’s need max airflow.

Yes it’s a panel and was told for the 991.2 it is vented. Was just showing a picture of the black panel that comes with 991.1. This blue one is a 991.1 the way the louvers look. I should have been more specific. Sorry!

Nice work. Do you know the drag increase and top speed reduction?

Blue one is 991.2. Look at the tail lights. The sculpted 3D look, not a flat piece of plastic like 991.

It's called the Rear Spoiler 3. I emailed them about the high demand for a 991.2 solution and possibly a group buy, and will share the response when received.

I like how the top vent is hidden against the grilles.

Response from Techart:We will not work / develop a ducktail for the 991.2. This car is done for us. Sorry.
The only possible way this changes is if every single one of you messages them.
