Front lip is made by Champion Motorsports / Werks1. This is the original spoiler from taking delivery of the vehicle new. Currently it has seen 30,800 miles. Its holding up really well, although you need to be careful driving around town and know where you are going and how to get in and out of those establishments. The carbon tape you see in the center is covering up a crack compliments of my wife. She pulled into a parking stop and beached it...thus cracking it...needless to say, she no longer drives the car! She did get me a replacement though, I just haven't installed it yet. There are two metal skid plates on the underside that truly do their job of saving the carbon. And yes, my car is lowered.
Regarding the fender arch extensions: I designed these and they will only fit with the Werks1 spoiler. These are my Gen 2 designs, same as Gen 1, just 2mm (G2) carbon verses 1mm (G1).
First post on 6Speed, from newbie turbo owner. I am in the process of acquiring the mesh grill guards for my black 997.2 and found the images of yours, and was surprised to see the same carbon fiber splitter on your car that came with mine. So thanks to you, I now know what kind of splitter I have. My car also came with a carbon fiber rear diffuser, which I now assume is also from Werks 1/Champion Motorsports. Did your car also come with that? My limited experience with the car so far is that the splitter doesn't drag so long as I am careful, but the diffuser does. I'm wondering how common diffusers are, and if others have dragging issues. I suppose that if it gets unsightly over time, I might just remove it. It's a pretty expensive part, though, so it seems strange also to ditch it.
One more thing: my car also came with carbon fiber air intakes that are not on the build sheet. Anybody happen to know where those come from? I know this is a very old thread, but timely for me .
Have a picture of the air box? Werks1 makes an air box for the 997.1 turbo as well as a y-pipe and plenum. Would like to see a couple pics of your car and engine bay. I have not had any issues scraping my rear diffuser, pulling in or backing out of drive ways. It’s just like the front, you need to be careful and angle your way in and out.
I am so happy this thread is still alive! Vid thanks for looking after it. It’s been a while since I have visited, 7-8 years! My car thankfully is still with me, near 50,000 miles, I use it for 2-3k miles a year these days. Martini stripes are no longer, too much attention for central Athens driving, even if it’s seldom. Skand worked his magic on my ECU, I should be near 600hp now with the Europipe. Finally changed wheels too, BBS CHRs 10s front 12s back they sit perfectly!

Here is the intake I am wondering about. Werks1 splitter. Werks1 (?) diffuser. Note scratches from before I got it; I'm adding more, I fear.

Sorry to belabor this, but this is a better shot of the diffuser (and damage) and includes the trunk lid, if that was of interest.
Diving or Driving,
Thanks for posting. Beautiful car! Congrats! Miss read your post the other day, I thought I had read carbon air intakes, as in the airbox and not the side air intakes. Side intakes, look to be OEM wrapped in carbon by a third party, like DB Carbon.

Thanks. She's new to me, so I am in love with her. Once the paint correction is done, she's getting ppf and ceramic coating, then a Europipe exhaust, 997GT3 shifter, UMW tune, and DSC controller.
I'm surprised no one else has dragging issues with their diffusers. There was a ton of discussion of dragging the front lips over on Rennlist when I first got the car and people noticed the splitter, but crickets when I mentioned the diffuser, and again, I find it is the bigger problem. I took their silence to indicate that people just don't have diffusers. But apparently you do. Anyway, unless I inch into my driveway at 45 degrees to the slope, I mean BARELY moving (and twice I have stalled the damn thing trying to back that slowly uphill with the spongey clutch feel), it scrapes, and obviously the previous owner dragged it as well. I'm thinking about building a ramp of some kind to flatten out the entrance to my driveway, but it really isn't extremely steep at all.
