@Busta Rib you mentioned wanting to see the duck tail. Here is a pic I got after I had my Eibach springs installed (shop sent pics while I was in Europe. Can’t wait to get home and drive it).
hope I’m not hijackiing your thread.

The vents look just like the Getty though and so does the underside. Fit was pretty good.

Nice Petza. Are you keeping them carbon and wrapping them clear?

Actually they're an interesting construction. They're some type of composite material that has a kind of CF texture, but it's only visible on the back side. The exposed outside surface is a smooth flat black finish, so the CF you see in the pictures is actually what I'm actually having my vinyl guy do to them. I'll then apply some 303 protectant to keep them looking good.
The CF will go with the CF mirrors and stone guards I have on the car, and at some point, when I get the courage up, I'm going to strip the silver paint off the upper RUF wing to expose the original CF and have that re-cleared which will finish the outside look of the car. I already have a bottle of Carbolift on-hand for this purpose, but it needs to be hot (like 80 degrees) and I chickened out last summer, then ran out of time.

easy transaction with good quality? I’m thinking of purchasing their ducktail for my GTS.

Yo, peeps. I just listed my Carrera S for sale (https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1170189). Sad to see it go but I got another sled. Went with something just a little bit different but still in the 997 family. Woot!
