Default High quality GT2 RS rear wing tip/blade and side carbon intake

I'd like to get the wing tip and carbon intakes for my 997 GT2 however the RS parts are approaching 10k. Does anyone have a recommendation for high quality parts that mimic an OEM appearance closely? Thanks!

DB Carbon is a popular option. I have some of their parts and even next to OE carbon it looks identical. MAcarbon is also very high quality.

DB is 1x1 weave where OEM and MA Carbin use 2x2. Unless DB now offers 2x2, the 1x1 does not look OEM.

Haven't been able to find the GT2 RS carbon wing tip blade anywhere other than OEM. Any options at all out there?

DB Carbon does not have them listed on his website, but he takes custom orders. You could buy a part on eBay, ship it to him, then he could ship it back to you. He may even be willing to buy the part himself and then just ship it to you.

I'm sure MACarbon would be willing to take on a custom request as well.

Daniel at DB Carbon did a full interior set for me that I have waiting to be installed in spring. Quality seems great and communication was very quick throughout the entire process and any questions I had. He did have about a 10 week lead time. He is very busy, which I would say is a good sign. Means he is doing quality work and a lot of people want to use him.

See link below, I can't vouch for quality or accuracy. I have factory part.

That Knight Racer link you provided seems to be the only aftermarket part provider for the GT2 RS spoiler blade. Anyone order from them? How's the quality?

Also, anyone know which 2x2 dry weave for the side intakes seems to be the best quality ones out there?

So you already knew about the Knight Racer offering if yes then maybe say this in the future to save others wasting time posting

This is DB Carbon offering for GT2RS look CF covering

I never said I knew about Knight Racer. They aren't responding to emails, does anyone know of any other options? Seems like there is no option except OEM.

If you were a bit more congenial and less abrupt I would put you in touch with someone who has bought the Knight option, but your forum manner is not for me.

The GT2 wing blade is carbon fiber just like the RS. However, it is painted black. Sand the black paint off and clear it. Looks perfect.

The RS blade is a different shape and should be used when the front RS splitter is fitted or the areo balance is compromised, not really an issue unless going over ~80mph

Not sure what sentence rubbed you the wrong way, but lets get back to enjoying GT2 ownership.

I'd really like to get a set of these CF ducts for my GT2 but haven't seen anything reasonably priced that looked good. Yes, I am aware that the term 'reasonably priced' may seem subjective when we compare to the OEM GT2 RS parts. Are there any forum vendors who stock these DB Carbon ducts?
