andygo Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Has anyone fitted these to their 981? Having had my 981 for a month or so now, think the standard black plastic side vents look a bit, well, 'plasticky'. Is there a source for them without breaking the bank?

Ringmaster999 Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I was looking at this a while back. See my thread here Unfortunately Robscott has not replied to PM sent Re purchase and hasn’t been active since 22ndJan this year. Hope he’s ok and just not a Porsche fan anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looked on Design 911 and they have copy ones for £210. Found a youtube video which confirmed they are stick on items with 3m (3m the brand not 3metres of tape) tape which should be fine I guess. I'm not into boy racer bodykits, wings etc, but I do think they finish off that area better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'd prefer if you could buy them without the GT4 impressed into the moulding though. I looked at GT4's adverts and they have the GT4 designation showing, not sure I like the trying to big up my model though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easy when your chosen painter is preparing them to just fill the GT in so that once prepped and painted they’re just plain. Plenty have done it 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Do we have a supplier for these? Toying with the idea of these and the Spyder ducktail 🧐 I wonder if I could be gilding the Lilly.............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmaster999 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Design 911 as mentioned above. Don’t forget the price on their site dies not include VAT. So more £260ish. I’m hoping they’ll release a discount code soon and then might take the plunge. When I picked up the Ducktail at my local OPC I did inquire about price for an OPC supplied pair of 981 GT side scoops. Let’s just say wallet buster. Can’t remember the exact price but around £500. As mentioned above you then have to get them prepped including the filling of the GT logo which adds to the overall cost. My Ducktail with painting came to £670 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I have been looking at the as well to complement the Spyder spoiler but I can’t decide if they maybe a bit much. Also I think the black side vents break the white up on mine nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) If I had white I'd well be going for the scoops! It will look beautiful. Edited December 19, 2021 by michelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 @Lonewolfgjpeverytime i see these on a white 981 I think they look great, any other. colour not so much. I'd like to see more but I won't be getting one i'm waist deep in gts plastic bumper parts, getting there but of course its growing arms and legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmaster999 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 @LonewolfFront splitter looks great. Who manufactures it. Any links to supplier. Or is it a Porsche part? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 It is a oem part off 991, it requires a fitting kit from the states but the details are on members ride thread 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to your new bumper build, I think it will look excellent 👌 Im pleased with my front splitter for now but I may go the GTS front bumper in the future. I’m not sure if you run or like wheel spacers but I’m impressed with my new 7/15mm set up. Originally I thought the 15 rears would be too much but actually they look spot on. I will research the side scoops as my painter owes me a favour, so we will see in the new year 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I ve just found some pictures online of them fitted to a white 981 GTS I think they look pretty good but can’t decide in the last picture if they look a bit awkward?

mneil Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Agree with you Gareth, looks like an ill fitting after thought 🤓. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Yes, the last picture is questionable.......... But! If they go a GT4 then why not ours! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alank Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 i think it looks a bit like it is, an after thought stuck on go faster bit. Ruins the lines i think?? My white one has white side vents which i suppose look a little less 'Plasticky' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
