There ya go. Obviously the forward portion of the rear fender liner has to have a roughly 3"x3" square cut out of it's lower edge so the air duct can pass through. The diagonal arm spoiler is a direct clip on and directs air to the center of the rear rotor. The lower 996 GT2 air duct is a direct clip on also and directs air to the rotor ring itself. The lower 997 GT2 panel is a direct bolt on but the ends are different between the 996TT and the 997 GT2 panel. I simply cut the ends off the 996TT panel and riveted them to the 997 GT2 panel. The rivets can be seen in the picture. Looks totally OEM. This past weekend I did some testing at the track and the addition of the additional cooling dropped the rear rotor temps roughly 50 degrees F. So it's a worthwhile addition to cars that see frequent track duty.

Installed a new chin spoiler. Took all of ten minutes. I highly recommend it as a DIY.

996TWINS

Thank you for the pics. Nice!!!

OEM or aftermarket?

Carlo_Carrera

Aftermarket from eBay. I replaced the stock one with a GT2/GT3 style. The quality is surprisingly good. In some ways better than the OEM version and it was very inexpensive. I am very satisfied.

996TWINS

Who did you buy it from?

I bought my aftermarket 996TT lip from Bayson R Motorsports. Really good quality.

Carlo_Carrera

I bought mine from Bayson too. I am very impressed and it was so inexpensive. I might buy another just as a back up.

996TWINS

Installed mine about 3 years ago. It has gone many times 140MPH+ at the track.

Did not know that BRM had the GT2/GT3 style.

any pictures of the chin lip..need to replace my OEM one.

Carlo_Carrera

I might be misleading you a bit. When I say GT2/GT3 style I mean that chin spoiler juts out like the GT2/GT3 chin spoiler. Where as the normal regular stock Turbo spoiler goes pretty much straight down.

Does your aftermarket spoiler jut out like this?

Carlo_Carrera

I posted an internet photo of the spoiler above. Here is the eBay listing.

The version on eBay does not have the satin finish the internet photo I posted does. The eBay spoiler is slightly duller. If you want the eBay spoiler to be semi-gloss you can use one of those plastic restorer products you see on TV on it or glaze it with Flood Penetrol from Home Depot.

996TWINS

No, it does not. It is just like the OEM, straight down. You have the aero style which is also an OEM style lip.

Carlo_Carrera

I just call it a GT2/GT3 style because the jutting out chin spoiler comes stock on those cars while the aero chin is an option on the regular Turbo and some aftermarket dealers call the stock Turbo straight down spoiler an "aero" spoiler.

I went with aero replacement on my car because I am trying to dial out some of the understeer. I have gone to adjustable sway a bars which helped with low speed cornering and I am hoping the new chin spoiler will help in the higher speed stuff. I am doing a track day in a couple of weeks so I will keep you posted.

Yesterday I flushed my diff and transmission.
WOW what a difference.
The trans feels brand new, the shifts are smooth as butter.
This was a great "mod".

996TWINS

Had a Numeric Racing short shifter installed this morning. Totally awesome product. One of my best mods.
