Default RS Roof Aero/Canards...

Are these integrated into the roof? Screwed on? Wondering how these are attached?

VHB tape from what my ppf guy told me. I had him wrap in a cf vinyl and I specifically told him I don't want to drop the headliner because I thought it was fasteners. (he ended up not removing them and cutting around it. I think it came out well)

Yup. Wish we could just not have it painted without the WP tax but that's what the Porsche gods demand. Silly since the roof is carbon either way but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Nicely done, was the cf vinyl above or under the ppf ?

Tbh I'm unaware lol. The rest of the car is xpel but I think this layer is just by itself. I'd imagine it's under if it's been "double wrapped"

I'm out of country at the moment but I'll check when I get home.

I'm protecting it with xpel soon , just curious if it's a good idea to place the cf vinyl under the ppf as it probably create a more "real" cf look due to depth.

Curious, would the regular gt3 benefit from additional guided airflow?

Generally this is what you want to do to have the CF deep look. It looks more realistic.

No. These "canards" are there to divert the flow of hot air coming from front radiator openings in hood away from roof and air ducts at the base of rear window. Since GT3 does not have these radiators no benefits... besides if you like the look.

That looks great. Any way to find out what brand wrap or ppf he used? Thanks.

Agreed, its all a package if you will when it comes to the aero.

Finally had a chat with him this morning for another project. Xpel ultimate pro over the vinyl pattern he used and then evo pro ceramic. Overall I am quite pleased. It's also the first time I have had all the edges wrapped around. All my other cars i have had PPF have had these template lines that don't really bother me too much but can collect filth over time.
