Anyone making fender vents for the 992 non GTs? Anyone install any yet?

No one???

Haven't seen any. I'd love to put a small carbon tail spoiler on - simple and subtle - but still looking. Unlikely I'd take a cutting wheel "wheel of death" or Sawzall to a front fender to install a vent. Would love to see someone attempt it, however.

 

Considering ...

Here are some answers:

1. We do not have a local distributor in the USA, production takes about 20 days, + shipping with DHL takes 4-6 days. (Delivery cost about 380 euro, with dhl assurance of delivery in perfect condition)

2. This is a replacement part, the installation is as easy as the OEM fenders (I have no video, but you don’t need to adjust or modify anything, comes as plug and play), (we can video support you, or make a video instruction for you once product are ready, because before delivery we test the product installation on a real car to be perfect, after that we delivery to you)

3. I have no pictures of other patterns, this is a new product and yet only a few set sold were made of CF2x2 carbon fiber by default (I recommend CF 3x3, which Porsche uses for original carbon parts)

4. The fenders are made entirely of carbon fiber, no problem in low or high temperatures.

5. Payment is made via PayPal, after receiving you will have 60 days to test the product, plus we can mark in the invoice for 4-5 years warranty without any problem,

They look cool. Being a recovering carbon addict, it should be noted that they probably require a little work to make them fit right — a heads up for anyone on the thread that hasn’t gone with aftermarket carbon fiber body panels. I wouldn’t go in expecting factory-grade panel gaps.

 

According to their site, they pre-fit them to ensure a seamless fit with a fair guarantee - and they seem to have an impressive range of vehicle apps. Still, worth re-checking with Samuel, but killer mod IMHO.

Leaning towards MCF option with Guards Red... thoughts?

You can’t even get an aerokit without everyone calling you, “fake *** GT3 poseur” comments, and you want to get fender vents?

 

That's why I live in Alaska, I don't give a F what people think or say . Seriously?

But I wonder if this will have any impact on the wheel sensors (re. WET mode)?

is there any function for those or is it just so it looks like an rs? that gets a ‘no’ from me.

 

for reference, here’s what the oem vents look like on 991 - these look so much better.

 

I don't know the side drop is more Taycan than 911. As to functionality, I would assume as it retains the original liner not sure what cooling effect it would have on the tires and ergo my question as to any impact on WET drive mode for sensors embedded in the liner (useless most months for me). I thus assume that on the GT3 it's a tire cooling function.

So for me it's a looks (or bling if you prefer) item.

These look similar to the ones on the Darwin Pro site. I have no idea if their products are decent quality. https://darwinproaero.com/products/2...39414934470753

 

take whatever they cost multiply times 10 and deduct that from the value of your car. Carl

 

I think the "purpose" of the vents is an interesting question. I doubt it's for tire cooling - I could see it enhancing brake cooling. I could also see it as a means for reducing lift and drag on the front end from air that could be trapped at high speed. Would love to know the definitive answer to this. I had a C7 Corvette and GM made a big deal about the overall functionality of each and every vent on the vehicle - if I recall correctly some WERE for enhancing the exit of air to reduce lift / improve aerodynamics at high speed.

 

Too much of an affectation IMHO, not to mention all that effort for a purely cosmetic change.
