You owe me! haha
Seriously it took me a few days and I'd say a good 5 hours searching and calling places to get the correct stickers. Most of the older oil stickers are not the same as this one for the 997 and are much smaller. They don't show an image of the stickers in the online catalogue so you really have no idea if it is the right one or not.. unless you spend the time.
You're welcome.
I owe you at least one! I think that equates to three lite beers, or two premium beers, or one IPA!
Just noticed these are for a .2 do you know if they would also be the same part numbers for the .1? The OP and myself included both have .1's.
The engine oil and knock sensor I would bet money are the same as the .1. The engine specification sticker is VIN specific. So the information filling it will change based on your VIN. The 2012 designation is just info I completed when checking out so the vendor could cross check the part numbers knowing what type of 911 I had. Hope that helps!
Bought mine from Design911 in the UK as I find theirs to be more closer to the original design. Of course being where I live, it is expensive no matter where I bought the tail from since I live in Taiwan.

Resurrecting an old thread. I had a Getty Design Duck Tail Spoiler installed a few months ago. I noticed that the cavity above the air intake snorkel is a closed cavity. No air enters this area. For those that have purchased the Getty do you have the same closed off cavity? It would seem that this limits any air entering into the snorkel.
Unless I'm mistaken, you have a 997.2 and it would appear that you have the ducktail intended for the 997.1 (which only has one air intake for the airbox). That cavity should be open..otherwise you are constricting the amount of air being drawn into the engine and what air is being drawn into that intake is in large part hot air from the engine bay, not good for engine performance.

It’s actually open...if the hole was open right above the snorkel water can ingress quite easily. If you stick your finger into the inlet access you can see it exits towards the back of the duck under the grille.

You are correct. Once I crammed more of my hand in there I could feel a passage way at the rear of the duck. I was worried I was going to suffocate my engine. Ha. Good to now all is well.
