not sure you’ll need it with the fiberglass Getty. Seems like only the carbon fiber RPG needs it. I reused the oem strut for my Getty and it’s fine.

Fit and finish of Getty does look better than RPG (oh well). Also, I used a Foxwell to code in a fixed spoiler but I still get a 'raised brake light' error, so I ended up ordering the fixed wing harness w/ brake light. Will get here in a week or so, so I'll see if that helps.
​​​​​​​Did you buy the RPG carbon fiber CFRP ducktail, and if so, any photos?
I'm interested in that myself but never seen anyone with pictures of it.

I agree if you are getting the ducktail get the third brake light delete panel. Lastly you will need a new harness and strut.








Or go the whole way and get pepita seat inserts also.... this is the OEM agate grey fabric from the 911R and 50th anniversary.


Can the seats be done without removing the leather ala bucket seat inserts?
