Default Really?

Just a minor vent....I bought a set of air foils figuring that they would be very simple to install. Nope. It’s a small trim piece right? When I read the directions, I almost died...I need to remove the door panel, unhook the airbags, remover the door handle, etc, etc. You are essentially stripping off the whole interior door. I think that I will use them as bookends instead!

Don't worry! Read the instructions more carefully. It shows that if you have a screw behind the first trim piece that is removed (as is the case with all GT4s), then you can skip all of those steps.

Basic screwdriver skills are all that is required. Takes 10 min tops.

I read them and it looks like that I reversed the time estimates on the first pass. Its nice to know that all the GT4s have the screw showing behind the trim. That was not clear in the directions. Its appeared to be more of a lottery on how the installation would go...

if you move the window such that you have about 1.5" sticking out of door on both side, the flutters goes away (at least when on track wiht helmet on). it's way better than on 991GT3 that took out my ear drums.

Any track I've driven would black flag a car with either window up even a small amount. Those flaggers seem to catch everything. This might work but it's risking black flag
