Deputy D, they do look cool but not for 500 bucks...stupid pricing structure from Porsche. Cost should be 40 - 75bucks max for these stickons and more $ for the real deal racing thicker ones which I assume are not stick on and truely provide more function and more down force

...hmm seems to me just a matter of time when we can buy reproduction copies sold by pcar tuners for much less...hint hint

Right on!!

Peter, I want oem stuff also.....but I refuse to spend $500.00 for plastic stick-on parts that are more for looks (to differentiate the 4.0 model) than function, ok Larry maybe some slight function. Now I agree they look cool....but priced outragious...ok, I will spend up to $100.00 for them to look cool.

I think that according to AP during the launch ... they are not merely for cosmetics they contribute to front aero improvements on the 4.0 ... YMMV

Also, once you mould these, then prime them and paint them ... I'll bet they come in around $250 a pop

The red ones on the black car do look pretty trick.
