Dom, Thanks for posting. I've been mulling this mod over for a while.
My car is silver on black, black top and chrome badges. I've been tempted by the dark side (headlights, wheels, badges, etc.)
I think bling is the way to go.

Nice...I hope they did not charge for leaving your spoiler up.

An earlier post in this year-old thread states that it's "VERY straightforward" so I couldn't imagine it being much different than a .2!

Thank you for the help, I found some pics of the 991.1 removal, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Has anyone else on here done this to a GTS with a Duck spoiler or the Cup Aerokit? I read that it needs a "blanking plate" I am assuming that will be on the factory grille I remove?

Yes, on your original grill there is a black blank, which is easily removed. It is really strange, but there is an electrical connection that fits into the blank! I assume this is due to the fact that the wiring harnesses for cars with ducktails must be the same as without. Very easy install, you take out 6 torq screws and then you need to lift up and pop out the grill. There are little numbs that snap in and out of place between the grill and rear deck lid.

lol i’m not sure I’d call changing the color an “upgrade”.

Same, I love the look, hated the stock plantation shutter look. It was super easy install, no regrets... Brings back an aircooled grill look. The price was hard to swallow, but in hindsight it's a deal compared to $1700 for painted interior trim (which I did myself last week end for $40 with matching color, clear, etc).
Honestly Porsche are highway robbers on most parts - the one exception I found pound for pound are the caliper bolts - LOL - It's a solid unit for $4 (or whatever it was) ;-)
