I'm surprised they didn't come with some sort of diagram. Maybe check with the parts department? I'm sure they could at least give you a sketch of placement. Worst case scenario, give Porsche Motorsport North America a call: (714) 546-6939

Let us know how it turns out!

The dealer does not have a diagram..

These parts do not come on a cup car so no point in calling PMNA - they dont know..
We are across the street from them


Best bet is to look at some pictures or try the diagram above

Hope that helps.

If these OEM dive planes are installed on any 997 other than a GT3 RS4.0 you take the risk of either unwanted flight or crashing /wrecking. Also these will void your CPO..

Of course because they produce lift not down force LOL

Quick question:
Why do they void CPO?



From personal research:
from what Im told the diveplains are made to fit the 997.2 gt3 or RS bumper and the curvature of the 997..1 bumper is different (hence they will not fit 997.1 cars)

Just incase anyone is wondering about fitment - Orbit racing in florida is selling some RSR ones in CF if I am not mestaken or you can call Suncoast for the OEM ones. (where I got mine from)

Only if you install them backwards.
