Default 997.2 GT3RS Dive plane install
Hello guys, I had a few phone calls on how and where to install the OEM 4.0 dive planes, so we got this pictures with measurements for reference.
Hope it helps our community.

here is a template I derived from some pictures of the DPs... this results in an installation which is "approximately" the same as these dimensions... (front is 10mm lower)

I will bring it over, although it looks as though I got the front dimension short by 10mm

Larry, if I send you a 6RSR pic can you calculate the position for a near zero angle of incidence? I am about to install my canards..

You should probably spend some more time on which adhesive to use as I saw one fly off at the track recently

Body shop mistake. Customer got a brand new one.

As long as the area is cleaned with alcohol or any adhesive cleaner that doesn't leave residues, it will be fine.

+1 warming the surface of the bumper 1st also helps it adhere...

Why not just bolt these on to the bumper instead?
