So your answer is that all the complaints about them are just a vendetta against an exemplary vendor just being slammed and misunderstood. Fortunately we do get to reach out via the Internet to find out about the integrity of vendors. Take a look on this forum and you will see plenty of vendors that the majority of forum members have nothing but positive feedback. That's the way things are done now so most don't have to suffer the consequences of bad workmanship.

Don't get your feelings hurt because you backed a bad horse. You want to use them, go for it. Let's us know how you do.

I think you're missing the point, the members of this forum are recommending you stay away from a vendor that has proven time and again to be less than quality. If you want to argue with them and defend what is clearly a shady operation that is your loss.

What you see as a bandwagon the rest of us see as a warning to stay away...

+1

Don't refer them to a poor clueless owner who could have their car jacked up. Robbie, if you're that confident with them I have no problem you taking your car there. Giving a glowing review to a hack job chop shop isn't taken well here.

The reviews certainly kept me away. I was looking for a ducktail spoiler, and lo and behold, the original Porsche part can be purchased from Suncoast, for less money than Wicked's aftermarket version.

Suncoast Ducktail

Wicked Ducktail

Which would you rather have?

Penn Vise and StG - agree with you, it turns out this place doesn't do what was scoped and in time in budget, then I will raise hell and place a war cry bigger than Arnold in Predator, and i will open up a separate post titled "Let me have it" only to type "agree" on every one of the comments !

@Goillini - I so don't want to get ripped off after your pic of the popcorn, nice pic LMAO !!!

Raise all the hell you want. You'll be just another person hearing "should have listened to us".

Promoting a company who has ripped off many people is a disservice to this forum and it's great members. Might as well suggest they walk off a cliff.

Waiting for factory package as I wouldn't trust anything that hasn't been aerodynamically proven in a windtunnel for things like stability, drag, lift, etc. plus mechanical things like engine cooling.


An exact duplicate of the factory package might be acceptable though.

Guys there is a good reason that the new 991.2 does not come with a factory option of ducktail as the new turbo motor needs the wing element to act as a channel to force air into the intercoolers. Unlike the Turbo and Turbo S models the standard cars have no large intakes to channel air to the intercoolers. The car will lose 80 hp according to Porsche without this set up and cause overheating issues. The wing has different height settings depending on the heat the car is experiencing. The highest setting looks like an air brake has been deployed! Don't change the spoiler out guys....

Do you have evidence to the same stating that they have made something that is of quality?

I'd go with Wicked based on the epic fitment displayed on their own website. That panel gap looks so much more quality than the panels on my factory car. Who could ever provide quantitative suckage when a company markets such quality on their own website?
