There's some in this thread, but you're not going to be able to see any difference from a picture on a computer screen. You notice the difference when you go to install it. I had to modify the side marker light area so that the light would slide into the front mount of the light. The slot was too thick for it to slide into. I also had to adjust the front top mounting bracket slightly. Both took 10 minutes.

Damn that does look good and if that's all you had to do to get it to fit it doesnt seem intimidating at all.
How is the fit in person where the bumper meets the hood? In the photo's it looks slightly raised on one side but then again like you said hard to tell with pictures.

It is the Aero kit I. Porsche factory part. Same deal as the one you are looking to buy only different model. The kit came with bumper, side skirts and trunk lid. The trunk lid has a wing on it.

They made it in S model as well. Not sure of the part number.

That style is taken from the 2012-16 991 GT3

Thanks. You are correct in what you see. The spot where the hood meets the bumper was not aligned correctly. I had to remove the bumper and lower the mounting bracket at those two spots. I never downloaded pictures after i fixed it

That's positive news then because apart from that it looks great. I'm still chasing after OEM but these pics are very convincing that it could be an option. I wonder if you are the only one that had success with Duraflex unless people ONLY post negative reviews?

I bought one, was impossible to fit, not even close. Body shops wouldn't touch it. Car id wouldn't take it back. Threw in away. Duraflex is junk and they are aware of it and don't care.
