Default 991 GT3RS fender vents on 997
came across these and gave the folks at Tunning Empire a call, direct fit and $1500 a set without the fake carbon fiber

A little over the top for me but I'd love to see some better photos of some that have been properly fit and painted.

A local guy here has a black 997 GT2 with those installed into factory fenders. It looks ok, I'll have to snap a picture next track event.

I'd put these on my car for functionality if and only if the car had the chops to back up the look. Putting them on a bog standard Carrera is poor form. Turning a 911 into an autozone special is a pity.

I guess the words 'direct fit' is a loose translation. I see a lot of gaps in the picture.

I like the fender louvers that Magnus Walker has on his 964:



Not sure I'd implement them onto my fenders, but I think they are a cleaner, more subdued look.

Link to the German site? The fit and finish on the yellow ones are night and day.

You know, I've never been a fan of this, but that yellow car doesnt look bad at all. Those are nicely done!
