Love the look.. are those stripe vinyl or painted?
They are vinyl custom stripes from KI Studios. I found the original 997.2 Sport Classic for sale in London and asked the dealer to measure the stripes. To my surprised he responded. From edge to edge the width is 38 centimeters. The gap between the stripes is 3 centimeters and each stripe measures 17.5 centimeters wide. I gave these measurements to KI Studios to create. I used a custom metallic vinyl that is not listed on the website. I installed them myself and made all of the cuts for the all sections. It was pretty though getting the curve around the inlets in the duck. It was a DIY that I don’t want to repeat. However, I knew if I let anyone else do the cuts it wouldn’t look factory. I give myself an 8 out of 10. Not perfect but still looks good.
997 Sport Classic look for me is mandatory to remove oem 3rd break light and use 99750434501 (rear central panel) instead, anything else is just a workaround...
Agreed. If you are going to spend the money to install a duck you minds well go ahead and do the 3rd brake light delete under the rear window. It looks more integrated vs having 2 rear 3rd brake lights (one functional and one not functional). Of course this is just my opinion since many have opted to leave it on.
i remember you’re the first ever install the ducktail, I used to mesmerize about your car mod. One of the cleanest 997.1 out there and still looking classy.
I also have a ducktail on my current car now
@drockzcity Nice! Details on what you did to shave off the bumperettes and put in that CF Panel?
The bumperettes actually are removable by screws. I believe there's a write up somewhere on here. As for the CF panel it was a custom cut out to fit in the full space and mounted in place to cover up the bumperette deletes. I've seen others cover it using carbon fiber 3M Di Noc vinyl as well. I chose to go with real carbon.

Did you swap out the bumper for the euro bumper or did you remove the rivets?

Just had the rivets removed and kept all OEM parts. It would have been more of a hassle to find a good condition euro bumper, ship, respray, then add the carbon.

Sorry, I meant specifically if you bought the bumper beam as the euro part, not the bumper cover since you just put the CF cover. Is it 2 rivets on the top and bottom that are attached to the beam that you drilled out?
