The double stick tape works for a while on the ram air scoop, but mine flew off in turn 8 Willow Springs. So I went with bolts to hold it on.
Same. I didn't have the cahones to just rely on sticky tape so I went with bolts. The decklid is in 2 layers, so I drilled the bottom layer (exposed) with a large hole, then the top layer (where the bolt goes) with a smaller hole. I can access the screws with a long/straight T-handle allen. I then found some rubber plugs to put in the exposed larger hole on the underside of the decklid. It looks totally clean and factory.
I sealed the gaps between the scoop and the decklid by putting a high-heat neoprene foam strip around the edge (sticky on one side, against the scoop), that way I can easily remove it if needed.
Looking at where you're headed we could end up with twins. I also have a black CF RS wing - though it's not currently mounted. Years back I got a NLA factory look GT3 spoiler in CF that has a Gurney lip molded into the rear edge. Unfortunately it was already in primer so I had it painted body color. It's a VERY subtle modification. I rotate the wing on now and then. I don't have the scoop you just added. Are you considering a side graphic with matching color wheel centers - like black/black?

Understood.
The tape seems to have quite a bit of "sticktion", I'm going to risk it for a bit.

Yes, factory RS bumper, BUT, the RS bumper and stock bumpers have the same P/N. I'm surprised that Porsche didn't add a -1 or something when they cut the holes and shipped the BC.
No wat to "prove" factory RS AFAIK.

I / We would like to see that spoiler. I looked at image above and couldn't see gurney lip, (maybe very subtle?).
I'm not a fan of black graphics or wheels on a yellow car, so will stick with either silver or no graphics.
I'm still figuring how I might add yellow accents to silver wheels ala RS wheels.
I just plasti dipped these but yellow plastidip is wrong hue.
The lip is very subtle and the wing shape is otherwise stock looking. It was a prototype wing that I received as part of another transaction. I don't know if they ever went into production.
I tried to match the lettering font to the GT3 (based on the shape of the "T") but probably need to use slightly shorter lettering.
