May have install a front lip now to compensate.
I would imagine even more downforce with some of the other higher tails out there.
I just liked the lower subtle look myself.
Stock exhaust. FabSpeed stainless tips.
Was getting really tired of scrubbing the carbon from the porous brushed oem tips. Now it just a wipe with a damp paper towel.
The grilles were in actual Porsche bags with part numbers.
Phaff did what they said was a pre bake of the tail looking for air bubbles. Found none and said it was excellent quality.
Paint match was uncanny for an 8 year old car.
Dealing with them was a total joy!
Plus being in Canada I paid shipping , exchange , duties & taxes.
Lets just say around a grand with paint and Areo harness. Was worth every penny though.
Love the look and the comments never stop.

Around my part of Texas the top LEGAL speed is 85 and yes I can feel the increased downforce and slight lightening of the front end

Looks great!
What wheels are those??
Also...be curious to see what you come up with for a front lip/spoiler! I've been looking my incoming 997.2 and not seeing much other than $1600 stuff.

I'm leaning towards a urethane spoiler as it'll flex rather than break like a fibreglass or carbon one.

Thanks for the wheel info.
Ya, that's the issue I'm having when searching, there seem to be NO flexible CHEAP lips for the 997.2 like there are for the previous models. I mean $1100, $900, hell even $500 is ridiculous for a disposable part like that.

It's nice how it complements the 997 shape. It shows how nicely the 997 was designed, staying within the fundamental 911 shape, that a ducktail still looks mighty good on it!

Nothing close to OEM ductail, so much cleaner and better implemented.
