991 Sports Lip / Spoiler Adapter for 997.1 - DONE!
Emc2 991 Spoiler Adapter Kit for 997.1
What is it?
An adapter kit to easily install the OEM 991 Sports Spoiler (SPASM) directly onto your 997.1 (2005 - 2008 model years) in a safe and secure manner, and in a way that looks like it belongs on the vehicle.
Why do you need the Emc2 Adapter Kit?
The 991 SPASM Spoiler is a great aesthetic and aerodynamic OEM option for the 997, but it’s mounting points are not compatible
The kit solves this problem and:
eliminates the risk of damaging components (such as headlight washer lines) inside the bumper
is strong, but also designed to ensure that your bumper will not get damaged if you do impact the spoiler.
is an easily reversible solution - spoiler can be removed in less than 5 minutes if needed
The result is a completely OEM / factory look and fit of the 991 spoiler.
Anything else needed?
1 x 991 SPASM Spoiler # 991505525011E0 now available with the adapter kit on the EMC2 website
Minimal DIY skills needed
30 minutes of quality time with your 911 to do the install
A jack to lift the front side of the car is recommended.
What about 997.2 Models?
There are 2 kits for 997.2 also. Please see details on our website https://emc2design.com
Any 997 models that are not compatible?
The adapter kits cannot be used with the following variants GTS, GT3, GT2, Speedster, Turbo or vehicles with aftermarket front bumpers.
Kit Options:
Please review the selection guide below and the photos to help you decide. Kit B is the most popular option due to the extra clearance provided.
A bit of the history leading up to this solution:
In 2015 I was the first to successfully test and publish how to install the 991 SPASM spoiler on a 997.2 standard bumper reusing the existing mounting points. The process worked great, but was not at all an easy DIY.
Several people thereafter wanted to use the same spoiler and simply screwed it into the underside of the bumper. While this can work, it comes with risks, such as damaging the washer hoses and other components inside the bumper, and it is not a repeatable process in case the spoiler is impacted and ripped out, as you would need to make more holes and add even more screws.
In 2018 when I needed to replace my own spoiler, I decided to use the opportunity to develop a new method resulting in a much easier solution. This was the birth of the Emc2 Spoiler Adapter Kit.
Thanks to the many members around the world who've already installed the kits and shared their photos and feedback in this thread. The response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Using KIT A Ground Clearance after spoiler installation with stock suspension (approx. figures for example only):
Non-PASM vehicles - front lip clearance = 115mm (4.53inches) NOTE
PASM equipped vehicles - front lip clearance = 105mm (4.125 inches) KIT B provides 10mm extra clearance at center of spoiler and approx. 20mm more at the edges.
Owner responsible for determining suitability of clearance prior to ordering as refunds can not be offered for matters relating to ground clearance. Lowered vehicles may be subject to excessive scraping if not careful with inclines, approach angles etc.
Just a quick update as I've received several PM's requesting pricing. The kit will be the same price as for the 997.2 version (i.e. $239 incl free priority shipping to cont. USA)
I have a few Rennlisters as part of the final field testing process (providing additional feedback on the documentation and install experience) who will be receiving the first kits in the next week.
Thereafter kits will be readily available for shipment on a first come first served basis.
The OEM Spoiler can usually be sourced for between $175 & $185 excl shipping from your favorite Porsche Parts suppliers.
I received an email asking for clarification on the function of the spoiler wing end caps, so I will post the info here also:
Below is an image of the spoiler installed on its own without any end cap. There is a gap (shown in yellow) which is visible from from certain angles.
The function of the end-cap is purely cosmetic as it is designed to close this gap, whilst maintaining the flow and look of the spoiler (as can be seen in the first post of this thread.
Feel free to email or PM any additional questions.
Looks great! Excited to see photos of one mounted on a car.
Thanks. The first few kits have been delivered with more scheduled for this week
As soon as the members receive their spoilers, we'll be seeing some pics.
Hi I’m very interested in the kit. Are you willing to ship to the UK?
Hi
Thanks for the note. I've shipped several 997.2 kits to the UK.
I'm just waiting for an updated import tariff clarification from UK customs as the 997.1 kit includes some different components (well nuts, bolts, allen key and drill bit).
It's been a bit of a nightmare process thus far because there is no obvious existing classification for this kit, and I keep getting quoted exorbitant rates, but I am hoping to resolve soon.
Please send me an email at emc2porsche@att.net in the interim with your contact details.
Thanks
Me too. There should be some any day now. At least two members confirmed their spoilers have arrived and are just waiting for an opportunity to install over the holidays.
. . . and I couldn't be more pleased. Besides looking better, it has to improve the aerodynamics. The kit design and execution of the kit are top rate. Then just follow the instructions to the letter. I had the benefit of a lift and a good helper, my son. I had read the instructions many times and took everything I thought I'd need since I wasn't at my garage. Painter tape, utility knife, Sharpie marker, transfer punch (but that accuracy was over kill - just make a circle with the marker with the whole template in place and it's close enough but a point of some kind is necessary to keep bit from drifting), duct tape to hold spoiler in place when aligning and marking drill points, the provided allen wrench is fine but a driver (set at the lowest torque) with an allen bit was helpful, especially the the spoiler ends (then tighten to the required torque), rubbing alcohol or paint prep solvent.
Tape and well nut combo is effective. My guess is that the 991 spoiler with the kit on a 997.1 is sturdier than it would be on a 991 attached as the factory envisioned it.
Big improvement. Thanks, EMC2!
From this (which I had to duct tape to help keep on):
