New mods on the car!!

[X911CarreraX]

Aerokit and PSE installed! PSE surprised me, thought it was going to be kinda quiet since its a factory part, but really made me smile when i first started it up.

[X911CarreraX]

more..

[X911CarreraX]

still trying to decide if i should put the carrera logo back on... i like when people dont know what it is :D

[X911CarreraX]

only thing left to install are the front spoiler and the rear gurney... Front spoiler was painted and installed, but then i scraped it and the paint like tore off.. so i took a it off and used adhesion promoter, so the paint will stick to the plastic.

[X911CarreraX]

last one....

Your car looks great. I also do not have the carrera script on the back. I mostly like not having to clean around all the edges of the script when waxing. Your painted bumperettes change the color ratios. I am undecided if the black-colored script would be an improvement or detraction.

Your car would look great with the silver 911 logo. Considered it?

As for your spoiler (I assume you are referring to the lip spoiler)...the reason paint scratched off is becasue it is supposed to. That is why it is plastic and that is why it attached to the bottom of the GT3 spoiler (to protect the paint on the GT3 not the lip with is not supposed to be painted). Loren has the same color scheme as you so if you want to see what it looks like with the black lip spoiler on the AS car, check it out.

By the way, the kit looks great on the car and PSE you will love more and more everyday. Music to your ears!

Enjoy,

Dell :cheers:

[X911CarreraX]

i think Loren has his painted...

[LVDell]

My bad, you are correct......I remember talking to him about it and he said he has an unpainted one that is going on to replace the painted one in due time. Sorry about the misinformation.

:oops:

[X911CarreraX]

its all right. why is he putting on the black one? too many chips?

[LVDell]

IMHO I think b/c it looks better. I don't think Porsche's intent was for it to be painted anyway. But some get it painted after the fact anyway. Basically it comes down to personal preference though.

[X911CarreraX]

ya, i prefer it painted, i wish i could like it black... so i wouldnt have to worry aobut it chipping..

[LVDell]

My lip spoiler gets scratched all the time and it is undetectable to the casual observer. Guess its time to get a black car? Just playing. The AS looks great.

Dell,

Are you implying that the purpose of the lower lip is to protect the spoiler? It actually plays a very important role at high speeds. Above 150 (on the track of course) the lip makes a huge difference in stability. Just adding the slightly larger cup car lip makes an even bigger difference. Maybe I misunderstood your comment.

[Itzkirb]

You car looks nice...Hey I live just over the hill from you in Castro Valley

[LVDell]

Jim, I was assuming that the speed was not going to exceed 150 since the comment made was that he was scraping the lip spoiler and paint was coming off (sorry if that is what I implied). I realize there is a benefit of high speed enhanced stability for those that exceed (150) but that is a very small number of drivers.

By no means do I want to give incorrect info, just was trying to give the simplist explanation for the paint scratching off and the remedy for that problem.

[JimB]

Dell,

Good point.

FWIW, I think a painted version of the cup car strip would look great on a street car. It's only slightly longer and is angled forward a half inch or so.

Jim

[LVDell]

That one WOULD look great painted. Does the cup car strip fit onto the GT3 spoiler in the same fashion as the lip spoiler? I would be interested in moving to that if I could do it.

Thanks Jim,

Dell

Its rather simple to prevent scrapes on most of Porsche's chin spoilers. Simply put a row of wide flange pop rivets along the bottom edge. I space mine 2" apart. You can't see them unless you stoop down and the 1/8" of extension lifts the spoiler enough to prevent virtually all scrapes from reaching it.

If you don't have a lift, a hole punch will easily go through the plastic.

Looks like it does... 996.505.986.91

Porsche MotorSports only part number - dealers won't have this.

heres a shot

[X911CarreraX]

decided to go with the silver carrera script.

[X911CarreraX]

night shot...

[LVDell]

The silver name badge looks GREAT on the AS color.

[Greg]

Silver is an excellent choice! I like it!
