For the record, here's the rear shield with the duct before trimming:

Here's the shield after trimming:

I didn't find any trimming of the upper bracket necessary on mine - it was perfect.

I installed them on a 2008 GT3 and they actually fit, but rotor shield does require trimming. I'm impressed, so now two sources of air like the fronts.

Is rear brake cooling really a high priority for anyone on this forum? Seems like one more bit to fall off at the track.

Thanks for the pointer. I tried an experiment.....the upper bracket fits perfectly on my '07 GT3RS and only after triming the plastic ribs inside the upper bracket will it now fit my '08 GT3RS. The '08 was one of the last produced and has a different rear lower control arm than the '07. Just an interesting FYI

chardonet is infamous around these parts

Here are some photos of the installed ducts. Thanks to Ric and Suncoast for the parts, and GMG for the install. A 10 minute job if you have access to a lift. No modifications were needed on my MY08 GT3. I have not trimmed the shields on mine yet.
