Just had to cut the side ducts back about 6 inches. They all still work. It's been 90+ degrees here. My coolant temp and AITs are the same. It's just a street car, so there is nothing that is concerning.

You should make a thread with that diffuser. Be interesting to see. The roof is just a vinyl wrap.

I have been working with Karl at FX Aero and his communication and drive for quality has been great. We have had 35 emails between us over 2 weeks. The bumper shipped today and I get it Thursday. Pretty excited. The pic is right out of the mold so you don't see the splitters in the side rad intakes with LEDs in them and it also comes with 997 side markers. The splitter is also already pre fit.


Updated:

Here is the stock duct to fit the bumper. Bottom is open a little and the top tucks in nice.



997 side marker hangs a little low so the body guy is building it up a little too make it look perfect


Working to get the headlight gaps perfect




Getting painted this weekend.
Stunning! Are you running stock sides? No aero right?
