Smile Oakley Design carbon fiber spoilers on 997.1 GT3

Finally got the chance to install the front and rear carbon fiber spoilers from Oakley Design. There is noticeable improvement in terms of stability in the rear. I can't wait to see how they will help on the track in 2011. Enjoy the photos.

It is funny that I had the same assumption when I first heard about Oakley Design as well. ;p

Do a search and make up your own opinion about Oakley Design before buying from them!

yea these look fantastic, but my concern is that the front will be destroyed the first time I drive my car. My cup spoiler drags against something everytime I drive.

I love the look, especially the front. However, living in the same local area as you I am sorry to say that it will be very difficult to keep your CF front in one piece (on the street).
When I purchased my two other spares they where the OE GT3RS variety and not the lower CUP versions. These are to be considered disposable and my current one is scraped up.
FYI, past 996 GT3 was lowered with Moton's. Current GT3RS is set up with Euro height. Very versed at avoiding dips, holes and driveway/curb approach.

My Oakley Design carbon lip has lasted 3 years. It is very high quality and much more solid than the OE plastic. Awsome GT3!

Very nice looking pieces but the front CF spoiler would be in serious peril right out the door. Hell most gas station entries even going in sideways would be a problem.
For the $$$'s spent I'd be way too concern and not be driving relaxed.
btw I thought Oakley was toast?

Oakley Design will NEVER get my nod after all their disreputable behavior 2 years ago. Not inclined to forgive and forget-No matter how "pretty" they dress themselves up these days.
