I think it depends upon the supply, this is the 1st pair of alacantara/leather I have seen ... I thought they were only available ordered as an option on the car from the factory...

I made a mounting template for those ... unless you have a friendly 4.0 owner nearby let me know if you want the details?

Are the dive planes worth it? Do they make that much of a difference? I'll consider them if they do...

Are we calling Larry, Mooty now?

honestly I cannot detect it while driving on the road, I believe that they add an additional 13kg downforce ... or at least subtract 13kg of lift ...

I imagine not too too much but, then again, anything can help all this push we have.

plus they look good too, I think TRAKCAR (if not mistaken) had something going that also incorporated the front lip into the side fender extensions. That I imagine helps also.

you could argue that less front lift/more downforce improves front traction/grip (increases slip angle) and results in less push ... however at cornering speeds I doubt the planes make much of a difference either way...

your probubley correct larry, I just think its a progression of larger plains to come. ease us into the idea of cannards or diveplains. Im currious to see where this goes over 991 gt3 an updated upcoming RS.
