Installed GT3 side skirts and KW HAS lowering springs on my 992 4S. Love the side skirts and the ride quality is much better on the KW. Didn't want to go too low, just wanted a bit of an OEM+ look.

Ride quality is better on lowering springs? Can you give your thoughts on that?

Essentially the two biggest differences are that there is less bounce and less body roll. So when driving over sections of road that may have a sudden drop or are uneven (crappy LA freeways, for example) the car doesn't bounce up and down nearly as much. Second, the body roll when taking hard turns is much less. Just a lot more planted, and I much prefer the ride quality on this. Plus the PASM features still work so you can still adjust stiffness.

Does anybody make a smoked film to cover the rear reflectors on a 992 that is already cut to fit? I am terrible at cutting this film myself?

Remove it, you'll have an easier time. I think you need to peel back the wheel liner and maybe remove the rear tire to access it. Once it's out you can do a clean job.

Thanks, Lamin-x makes it for the 991 but not the 992. I don’t want to work that hard!

My wife is from Siberia, she is the Russian girl with long legs and brown hair, did you know her?

Someone on here popped them out and wrapped them with matte black 3M film himself with no prior experience or special skills.

lamin-x does make them for the 992. I have them. They look nice. I did miss a spot on the left that I didn’t notice til the next day. The film easily stretches to cover the reflector

Here is an alternative. Once I ripped out the old tail light assembly and replaced them with LEDs (yes resistor included to avoid triggering a CEL), I did the same for the reflectors, sliding in a string of LEDs and tying them into the brake lights. While the rear light assembly gets caked with ice and snow (pointed out to VDub years ago), the LEDs on the reflectors stay clear as they're just above the exhaust.

What kind of plate cover is that? Pls tell me it does something cool like black out at a touch of a button.

Anybody measure the exact size of the rear 992 bumper reflectors?

**Very keen on cutting some Matte black vinyl to cover them without having to remove them.

I also have the pre-cut ones from Lamin-X. They were the easiest solution and are available in a number of tint levels. It makes a huge difference.
