You know, those plastic deflector thingies that clip onto the control arms...

Is there really a $210 difference between the $30 GT3 ones and the $240 GT3 RS ones?

Sounds like that belongs in the "stupidest money I ever spent" thread... "Instead of this nice $15 piece of plastic, I bought this slightly different $120 piece of plastic..."

umm yeah, came to that conclusion a long time a go. There is a 997 CUP part (not gt3 not gt3rs) that is 90% as good as the 996 GT3 Cup part (the one with rivets) but costs about $20 a piece.

I just replaced my standard lower control arms with GT3 lowers so I could get more negative camber. I am running 2.7 front and rear. Additionally, I purchased the 997 Turbo Brake Duct plastic peice at the recommendation of my Porsche guy Lutzo Kravacyk. It is extremely large and fits perfectly. $30 each for right and left side purchased from dealership. I am not sure how this comapres to the Cup parts, but they are huge!.
