Do these help. I curved the edges and sanded to mimic the original ends. The edges stick out anyway, that's what they're meant to do. It directs the air away from under the car...

Thanks so much for the killer pics. Where did you purchase this? I had the website for where the DYI guy got his and the part #, but lost it. I recall between $200-$300?

Any Porsche parts supplier can get it.

Part # 996 505 986 91 - GT3RS (AKA CUP) Splitter, this is the one you want, I believe it's around the $160-175 mark. About half the price of the regular GT3 splitter (part #996 505 986 92 01C)...

Have a read of this thread... https://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-...-splitter.html

I have the Cup Splitter on my aerokit car as well.

If you are putting it on a non-aerokit car it may fit a little different especially near the wheel opening. There's a pic on here somewhere of one on a regular front end.

i can! that's my car and i put the splitter on there. yes oem 996 gt3 (not cup).

i used the following thread for install which was easy (diy on page two):

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...c2-bumper.html

only thing i did different was used wire cutters instead of a dremmel to cut the overhang. it has held up perfectly... even with numerous scrapes. i love it. ordered it through my dealer (they paid for shipping).
