Removed the leaky hydraulic wing risers and installed the spoiler fixed mounts till I get my hydraulics rebuild. Don’t mind the messy garage, re-arranging in progress.

With new mounts. Going to lower it one notch but done for today.

Actually a fan of the wingless look. Will give it a go myself. Did you use the special tool to unscrew the rams from the spoiler? Or something else worked just as well?

The issue with running the car without the spoiler is that you’re left with 2 massive holes. Other than that, it does look like a bigger ducktail spoiler.


I bought this tool from Amazon and it worked great
Eowpower Chrome Vanadium Adjustable C Spanner Hook Wrench Tool - 3/4-2"(19-51mm) https://a.co/d/1kAfSt9

I did take a different approach because I didn’t want to take the risk of damaging the paint.

I started in page 6 and removed the inner cylinders first

Looks great! Incidentally, where did you get the white front spoiler lip? I'm looking to add that to match the rest.

What did it look like prior to paint? Was it black like the other trim or…?

I ordered the same Aerokit lip for my car and it came in an off white color smooth finish to be prepped for paint.

It was not black and textured like the one the car originally came with.

Mine came in black or a darker shade of some sort. I wasn't lucky enough to get a white one.

The GT2 lower sill trim I recently put on the car came in black and had texture. My body shop prepped them and color matched them to the car.

PO had the wheels painted at some point, without removing the CL's! Finally, thanks to a great price from Suncoast, these black CL's right this wrong.


CL's as the car came to me 3 1/2 years ago. The painted CL has always bothered me, especially because the writing on them was painted over.


Black Centerlocks Pop! a little more than the washed out painted silver ones the car came with


Rennline Grills installed - Love them because you can barely see them. Goodbye leaves!


Had the annual service performed for the driving season: State inspection, oil change, air filter, replaced some control arms w/worn bushings, alignment, new acc. drive belt, and installed new Centerlocks and Rennline grills. Quite happy with the results, as subtle as they are. I have to say that the Michelin PS4s are amazing tires. 3 full season of driving and still have plenty of tread. When they're done, I'll replace w/the same.

Ok so far. Haven't really put it through the paces yet.

Its this unit + the MOST box. ~$400 shipped. General consensus is you want the 7862 CPU.
Lots of discussion here https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...it-review.html

If you're looking to do a basic install (no backup cam or parking sensor stuff) its plug and play + 3 wires to T into for the MOST adapter.

I also printed the siderails from post #1207. Fitment is very good with these. Nice and snug. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...l#post19315164
