Default 997 RS gift sets/collectibles

I'm sure many of you already have these. I wasn't fortunate enough to buy one of these cars new back in 2010-11, so I missed the boat. I'm a sucker for unusual memorabilia. When I first saw the wing on a post here on RL, I had to find it. Have been scouring eBay for months to no avail. I randomly found not only the wing, but the pressure gauge which I had no idea existed, on a Porsche FB page. Who knew ze Germans could make such quirky collectibles?

If anyone else has interesting RS related collectibles, memorabilia, etc, post it up here!

That is super cool. Did you get the last set? And how quality is that gauge? Great find...

There's a third?? Dammit. What is it? Now I need to find that one too. lol

Suppose the only way to determine the quality of the gauge is to actually use it. Not likely going to do that. I'd probably just get a Longacre instead and call it a day.

I was asking if you bought the last one? Are there anymore available? Would be super cool to go with the car if and when you sell..

Ah sorry. Misunderstood. Yes m, only one of the gauges available. Seller did have another wing set, but the box it comes in was incomplete (didn't have the RS centerlock in the middle).
Don't plan on ever selling, but yes, a nice accompaniment if I ever do.

I think there's an air pressure gauge in my frunk, not sure if its RS labeled. ^ Pictures are cool.

Pics? Still haven't found a decent 1:18 or larger diecast that I like.

Hoping others will post here with RS memorabilia they have found. I always enjoy hunting for stuff I want but absolutely don't need

My wife will probably kill me if I buy more “stuff”. But I am here and would like to see what other trinkets were given out by Porsche.

The miniature RS wing is super cool.
The green tire gauge is gift for 991.2 GT3 RS not for 997. I have one and its fairly accurate.

Anyone has this?

I have the AutoArt 1:18 scale 7.2 RS in Grey Black/Guards Red to match my car. It even has the half cage in red (though mine is painted Grey Black).

Autoart makes the best 1:18 7.2 RS models I've come across. Unfortunately, they don't manufacture them anymore (still available through eBay sellers, though) and they never made a white/white gold version

I have a Centerlock look wine bottle stopper - new in the box, came in the car I bought from a guy,which may have come from his RS purchase (not sure). great quality w/decent weight

if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM

I drive a .1, so no interest in CL wine stopper, but mostly because we rarely not drink the whole frigging bottle!
