Yes, its all good. Kinda like picking out clothes lol Will be interesting following the latest designs on the .2 car. If and when they do a wing or duck.

Is the aerokit cup front just as add on piece? My dealer actually told be he thought it sat lower, but it wasn't definitive. If it's the same clearance I would prefer to add the aero kit cup front with the sport design rear.

Measured both. Less than a 1/4" difference. Looks deceiving. We covered this in Larry's thread at one point.

note that we are referring to the lip itself, the rest of the front valance/facia is the same between SD and aerokit cup

Agreed, wish there was the option to add the front w/o doing the whole rear spoiler from the factory. I have never seen the SD front up close, so you're saying it's just a lip which I can have installed. What type of cost/work are we talking?

I checked into that an they are for down force and I know it works in conjunction with the Aero cup wing. The holes may aid in some directional cooling too.. But I am not sure on that part!

No what I am saying is that the difference between the Sport Design front and the Aerokit Cup facia is the lower lip.

The SD front and the 'normal' front differ significantly, you cannot AFIAK install an SD or AC lip on the std facia only the SD version.

You can however install the PASM-Sport lip onto the 'std' front facia.

New Vorsteiner wing. GT3RS look. A forum sponsor on 6Speed posted it in the 991 forum. Their lower diffuser is on there too. Not my thing, but can appreciate the effort. Better suited for the GT cars.

I think that looks cool as hell. They wind tunnel test their stuff too I believe. I like different and that works.

Right - but I just meant with an SD front (which I will have), I can add the AC lip to it right?

Edit - This looks like the part, so Im guessing yes. Seems like a pretty reasonable mod.
