GT3 wing wicker bill and air scoops.

The GT3 has the additional scoops/snorkels over the rear engine intakes, in addition to a little wicker bill on the lower portion of the wing. Are these parts available for purchase separately to spice up the non-GT3 aero kit wing?

The scoops are readily available from a number of aftermarket companies. Some nice CF ones might be just what you need to spice up the Aerokit.

As for the gurney flap (or wickerbill), I would imagine it would be available, but I wouldn't know where to point you for that. Maybe just buy a small universal lip spoiler cut to size?

Yowza, $670! It is 16% lighter though apparently.

I'll have to do some browsing for both items. I wasn't sure if either were available.

Here's the OEM version. Much cheaper, but still expensive.

You should also know that the OEM version has clips to secure it to the lower lip spoiler.

You can also order the OEM scoops from Suncoast as well. Cheaper than the CF version.

Great, thank you for the Suncoast version! I'm not a big c/f guy anyway, so the OEM one is perfect.

Did you see the OEM scoops on Suncoast's site as well? All I found were the c/f ram scoops for $1,400-ish.

I looked into the wicker a while ago... apparently installing one would require drilling into the OE fiberglass and who knows how that would go. I guess it attaches with screws.

I ordered the OEM ones 2 yrs ago and was planning to install them on my Misha customed spoiler. It's not on the website, but just give Suncoast or SunsetImports a call. Decided against it as they did not look right with my spoiler. Ended up giving it to a friend of mine. The OEM ones are exactly like the picture you posted; however, they also have brackets to be screwed over the intake opening. If you do decide to get the OEM ones, you just need to cut off the brackets and use 3M double sided tape for securing them over the intake opening.

Thanks again. I figured using double sided tape would work.

I'm assuming the scoops come in black or primer and need to be painted body color.

I'll shoot Ric@Suncoast a PM.

NP. Actually, the scoops I ordered were polyurethane and white. Not primered or black. You'll have to prep them before painting. You can also try Sunset Porsche (aka sunsetimports.com). They might have it cheaper.

Guys,

Did some research and found out the air scoops to be around 755.00 (scoops, grilles and hardware).

From the looks of the diagram, if you would like to have them function properly there might be some cutting and drilling required. Also, not sure if any of you have a stock airbox or not, but that might need to be modified so that air will be ducting into the air intake rather than just flowing into the engine bay.

If you need the diagram or any other info please let me know, we are here to help!

Thanks Ryan!

How about just the scoops? Are they a separate part?

To be honest, it's purely aesthetic to me, just looking to spruce things up back there. I have the stock airbox and don't plan on any "ram air" action.
