Cool. This is the wing I have. I fitted it myself and then had someone paint it and then I installed it. I noticed that you don’t have the small wicker bill (aka Gurney Flap) installed, did yours not come with one or just didn’t install it? I’m in the process of painting mine and then will install.
I also notice that you have the small rear bumper side skirt installed as well. Looks great!! This is my next (and last major exterior mod). Any shots of the entire car at different angles? I’d like to see how it all looks together. Thanks!!
Hi Rod,
The wing came with it, but the quality and fitment was not that great. Too much gap between the Gurney Flap and the wing in some area. Curvature did not exactly match, so I decided not to install it.
Yes, I got the prototype rear splitters. You have a very good eye for details. Thanks so much on the compliment. Here is a few side pictures I took earlier in the driveway (quality isn't that great but you'll get the idea). I wish I had better more professional pictures.
As for the "last major exterior mod", I wouldn't bet on it. I am sure EMC2 will have a surprise for you soon.

Awesome. Ya, as soon as they become avail for sale for the .1 I’ll buy some. I didn’t realize the wicker bill doesn’t match the wing. I haven’t ever put it on top to check. I have just been involved in sanding and painting it. Guess when I get home and dedicate too much more time to it, I should check.
damn, 8 paint matching iterations on a black car???

But the fitment is pretty good if that helps. No mods necessary on the deck lid, except you need to limit the hinge travel, otherwise the blade will hit the top of the 3rd brake light cover below the rear window (when you open the deck lid).
Your biggest challange will be paint matching. Especially if you have a metallic paint. I went through 8 paint iterations before getting the paint to match. Germany and US have different paint standards so the paint code will not be an exact match to the car when painted in North America.
Is the OEM 997.1 deck lid still available from Porsche? I don't see it listed anywhere for sale. If it is still available, would anyone happen to have the part number?
Thanks for the compliments.
They are OZ formula HLT wheels.
Went to cars and coffee last week. I’m between a sick GT4 and my brothers brand. New 2019 991.2 GTS. There was a 991.1 turbo S next to me but he left. Ironically, I didn’t feel like my car was vastly outclassed even amongst these much more capable
Note- for whatever reason these pics look blurry, but if you tap them the quality appears to be much better.
Nice, I didn't know you were in Southern California. I've been to that cars n coffee in San Clemente before with my Supra. Yeah, I like those HLT wheels. What are the wheels specs similar to a GT3; 19x12 rear? Tire Rack has conservative offsets and won't allow you to play with them.

I don’t remember exactly but I seem to remember the offsets being very similar to stock. I have the typical spacers that everyone runs, is it 8mm F and 15mm R?

are you looking for the narrow body or wide body (red bar) one?

Boris, where do those rear side skirt pieces come from? I'm going to install Moshammer side skirts that are CF wrapped and am going to need to have something to continue the black line to the rear of my silver car, and these would be perfect. Then I have to figure out what to do on the RUF
Front bumper, which might just be a little CF vinyl trim to continue the line to the front and have it terminate there...or is there a universal CF loof lip spoiler that I could add with trim tape as I don't want to lower the front more, just tie the side profile together visually.

Since people have asked me about this in private msg I’ll just answer it here so I don’t have to keep answering in private.
rodH & boris_gti, I'm glad to see y'all are happy with the NRAuto GT3 wing. I've been looking hard at it myself. I've also looked at the GT3 RS decklid w/wing but I'm not sure if I like how high that wing sits. Though I would kinda like to have an excuse to get the Motorsport airbox but I'm sure it wouldn't line up with the .2 S throttle body and I'm not even novice level compared to EMC2 or Petza. I know NRAuto offers the option to customize it to the standard airbox but what's the fun in that?
