Yes, nobody is stocking this kit. It needs to be ordered from Germany. That said, it’s still available to order, just will take time. In my case took about 4 weeks. You won’t get a date until you place the order. A good luck!
Thanks for the info! Did you order yours this year or last year? Just curious.
@boldish I just received the retrofit (non-GTS) kit. Similar to your post, I seem to not have received parts #6 or #11. I saw that you had to buy additional parts - can you confirm whether #6 is required / different from what’s already on the car?
I’d be a little annoyed if the retrofit kit didn’t include all the required components…
I contacted the place I bought it from (Gaudin Porsche out of LV) and told them the kit was missing parts. They sent me the missing parts that were needed for the install - really only the metal plate was missing, the other thing that was missing was the light I believe and I just re-used the existing light from the old spoiler.
They did require a bit of convincing since they usually expect their system to be correct, but the initial point of contact escalated to a manager who said he was going to do the right thing and send me the missing part. It isn't a mistake with the parts dealer but an issue with how this product is configured at a national level.
How did you get the 3rd brake light to come on? That’s the only thing holding me up. I ordered the harness, but it’s 5 weeks back ordered, I’d rather code it if I can.
I was able to code it with my ThinkDiag, I don't remember what it was coded under but if you spent some time digging you should eventually find it - I remember I had to try one or two options before I modified the right setting.

I see, thanks! So you never got the plastic trim piece 11? Do you just have a gap in your louvered engine cover where the center brake light used to live? Hopefully my dealer / supplier does the same (Porsche Silver Spring).

What I'm saying is I believe #11 isn't a plastic trim piece, but the rear tail light piece that I was able to fully port over from the old spoiler. Could be wrong since it's been awhile and I've only really got a good short/medium term memory. What you could do is check the install PDF for how that piece is used to get a better idea of what exactly it is.

Had the same problem - contacted the dealer I bought it from and they sent it a week later. Seems to be a frequent occurrence! Also was missing a few screws that I ordered though did find them later....a bit annoying since it delays your project, but at least didn't have to pay extra.
Question for anyone who might have already added ducktail to 991.1. After looking at this for a while I want to go with Sports design tail using non OEM solution from site I've listed below. They sell the tail, OEM mounting braket for fixed wing, OEM wiring harness and OEM center brake light delete to cover space when brake light is moved to the new tail.
Here is the OEM SD kit that includes a bunch of other items aside from the items I have listed above. Especially concerned about item I circled in yellow. Does this need to be replaced or can I use what I currently have intalled with active stock tail? Are any other of the items in the image below needed beyond what I'm ordering above.
hi there! in the same exact situation, following up to see what your solution was? did you have to order that #3 yellow bracket or were you able to use the OEM stock spoiler active tail? could save me $1.2K! pls lmk thanks~!!
