Anyone switched out the brake air deflectors on their Cayman/Boxster fior the larger GT3 ones?

Including the Spyder, GT4, and GT4RS

So the two-piece rear brake air deflectors are a no-go but these might work:

Rear brake air scoops: Left 982 505 569; Right 982 505 570

Very similar part numbers but not the same as those above. I see them being discussed here:

and here:

I do not have these on my car (2023 GTS 4.0) but apparently they come standard on the T (?!). I will research further and report back.

Sure appreciate the extra research and sure seems odd the rear ducts on the T yet not on the GTS?

Save your money, after getting the units, we found the ones currently on the Cayman GTS are actually larger. This is probably why they were recommended for a 987 but not a 718 ---------- another lesson learned ,ha!

I can confirm that rear brake air scoops 982-505-569 and 982-505-570 do fit on the 718 GTS 4.0 rear suspension. You will have to remove the tension arm from the LCA in order to slide the scoop onto the tension arm.
