Finally got rid of my 4S monkey but with the Techart Rear Diffuser Panel from Suncoast finished off with satin black reflectors from BumperPlugs...

Not sure what I will do with the thinner, upper middle section, if anything at all.

Does the euro spec center section cover the slot in the middle section?

Interesting - guess my moniker is sticking :)! - good to see alternates to my personal solution - curious as to cost (sorry too lazy to look up myself!)?

Hi all, the panel covers everything in the center section including the open slots left by removing the “monkey butt” except for two very small openings at the very top which I backed with some plain ABS for now.

Yes ciaranob, love the moniker and your inspiration to prompt the thinking!

The Techart panel was $1200, $400 for paint and $329 for the bumperplugs painted reflectors. The fit is perfect…

Would like to see more shots too and from different angles if you could - possibly even with the plate off? Def another very practical option to 'heal' the rear end :)

Hmmm, looks odd IMO, but to each his own. I love the stock rear end of this car.
Agree. I like the current rear end but this is potentially an opportunity for the mid-cycle refresh. Very difficult to make an aftermarket mod that improves on Porsche design. They should take this on.

Euro version
Aware of the Euro version @XLR82XS, I don’t think it would accommodate US plate dimensions without further adaptation. Getting deja vu - might have asked this on another thread, but I wonder if other markets OEM plate mounts would be closer in shape to the US plate, but lacking the monkey butt cheeks?

Shouldnt be to difficult to mount a non-euro plate on there.
