Dive Planes for 996TT

Does anyone know of a company/source for 996TT diveplanes. The car has the factory aerokit & I am working with a friend who is a racing engineer to develop some way of raising the factory wing approximately 8". He is looking into fabbing some brackets that would simply bolt between the two pieces and look fairly stock.

There is one size, but in FRP or Carbon Fiber.

Nice I will be adding these - how do they install? Drill holes and I am guessing the push type fastener that holds the bumper on?

No push in fasteners do not have enough strength. Some guys just double side tape on but that can fall off to. Most rivit or bolt them on. I myself made an inner mount that is double sided tapped on so I can easily bolt and unbolt them if needed.

Those pictured above on the blue car are mine. I simply cut them out of an old rear fender liner and riveted them on to the bumper. $0 plus a couple of hours labor.

I prefer not to put any holes in the bumper. Would it make sense to run a bead of silicone on each side in addition to the double sided tape.
Was at VIR 2 weeks ago with several PCA BS'rbuddies. One has a GT4 with dive planes. He used D/S tape only & one of the CF dive planes came off at 150 on the back straight. Thankfully it flew out in the grass and was unhurt. He was able to find the end of the day.
