High Kick CF spoiler, Diffuser and CF Tips installed.
Sourced everything from Ebay/Amazon... Took a gamble on fitment and it paid off
High Kick Spoiler ($190): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 4" Carbon Fiber tips ($150): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 CF Diffuser ($350): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-12-16-...53.m2749.l2649 I had to remove the bumper (easy, 8 body screws) in order to install the diffuser because the tabs on it sucked compared to OEM. I had to use some self tapping screws to go through the lip on the back of the bumper and through the tabs.. I have heard of this also being necessary even on more expensive name brand diffusers however. Also had the 343M wheels powder coated Satin Black by a local shop in SA. Wrapped in 265 PSS Fronts and 305 SC2s. |

Hit me up on fb if you need help. Its pretty simple, but putting in the screws can be a PITA. Pre-drilling and using zip-ties may even be better and less chance of scratching CF. (ask me how I know)

Man that looks good! Great work!
Side note, the 305 SC2's how are they and what did you have before? I am on 295 PSS and contemplating between SC2 and PS4S in 305's. |

Switching to 305 SC2 was like a completely different car. Anything above 70 degrees, I can almost put down all of 2nd once the tires are warm and I'm stage 1 now. The butterflies are real. I can't comment on the PS4S as I've never used them, I don't think they're as sticky, but they wear better and are cheaper. I got the SC2's on ebay used with 60% left - $280 for the pair. Considering they are $500+ brand new I didn't even think twice. Lots of porsches come stock with 305 SC2's so I think thats where a lot of the used ones come from.. Look around and you can find some with no patches for a solid price. EDIT: Corrected "porches" to "porsches" lol. Last edited by _BSMM5; 05-14-2019 at 03:50 PM.. |

Just look at the Ebay reviews and make sure they're not patched. At $250, I was willing to gamble and it paid off. That pair would've been $1k brand new, and with the way I drive they wouldn't have lasted but maybe 3-4 months
