Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Fiber R-HR AeroDisc Application: Porsche 718 GT4 RS (OEM forged magnesium rims only) Unleash The Aero Potential Of Your GT4 RS Inspired by motorsport legends from Le Mans to F1, aerodynamic wheel covers have proven to be one of the most effective means of reducing drag and optimizing downforce. Modern street cars from the likes of Manthey Racing and AMG feature specially designed wheel covers for their top models. Now, Silver Rocket brings this innovation to the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. Track-Tested & Proven Performance The Silver Rocket AeroDisc has undergone over 20 hours of rigorous track testing with professional drivers. The AeroDisc effectively reduces drag while maintaining rear axle downforce, even with a lower rear wing angle-of-attack. During testing, Silver Rocket recorded a 4.9 mph increase in top speed when the AeroDiscs were paired with the Silver Rocket Clubsport rear wing. Race-ready Heat-Resistant (R-HR) Coating Silver Rocket's on-track testing revealed that the rear brake area can exceed 500° F during racing or heavy track use, surpassing the ideal working temperature for carbon fiber. To ensure the longevity of the dry carbon fiber AeroDisc under these conditions, a proprietary Race-ready Heat-Resistant (R-HR) coating has been applied to the inner (wheel-facing) side of each AeroDisc. Crafted From Aerospace-Grade Dry Carbon Fiber The Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Fiber R-HR AeroDisc is built for durability while remaining incredibly lightweight. It highlights the unique texture and beauty of genuine dry carbon fiber, enhancing the style of your GT4 RS. A blank canvas for your imagination, the AeroDisc's front surface blank, inviting you or your favorite race graphics designer to unleash your creativity on its design.

Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Fiber Tailgate Support Reinforcement Applications: Porsche 718 (all models) Porsche 981 (all models) Eliminate Metal Dents With High-Downforce AOA Or Large Wings When we run our Porsche 718 GT4 RS with high downforce Angle-Of-Attack (AOA) settings on high-speed tracks, or when using high-downforce motorsport wings, the potential for metal dents in the sheet metal supporting the tailgate increases. For instance, the Silver Rocket DRS-1 wing can generate over 550 lbs. of downforce at 200 mph. This substantial downforce is directed through the wing supports into the car's body at two points beneath the tailgate. There is a risk that high downforce could cause dents in the metal at these support points. Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Fiber Wing Support Plates Highlights Benefit: Eliminates the risk of metal dents with high-downforce AOA settings and/or bigger rear wings Materials: Crafted from 100% aerospace-grade dry carbon fiber, twice the strength of steel Installation: Pre-fitted with 3M VHB tape for quick and easy installation in just 30 seconds

Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Tailgate & Glass For Porsche 718/981 Cayman This Tailgate Fits the Following Cars: Porsche Cayman 981 (all) Porsche Cayman 718 (all) Superior Materials and Manufacturing Constructed from aerospace-grade dry carbon fiber, the new Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Fiber Tailgate and Lightweight Glass reduce weight by up to 20.7 lbs. compared to the OEM Cayman tailgate & wing assembly. The Silver Rocket super strong V-frame and honeycomb core are engineered to support larger wings, handling downforce levels of up to 600 kg / 1,322 lbs while maintaining exceptional stability. The Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Tailgate is specially designed and engineered to accommodate a backward-extended (gooseneck) rear wing setup. Exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure that the Silver Rocket Dry Carbon Fiber Tailgate with Lightweight Glass complements the carbon fiber aesthetics pioneered by Porsche's GT4 RS Weissach Pack. This package includes the crystal-clear Silver Rocket HD lightweight polycarbonate glass, eliminating concerns about cracking the OEM rear backlight (especially the costly GT4 RS special thin rear glass). Compatible with both OEM GT4 and GT4 RS wing supports as well as Silver Rocket dry carbon fiber wing risers. Extremely Lightweight and Beautifully Constructed Constructed from 100% aerospace-grade dry carbon fiber, the Silver Rocket V-Frame tailgate is 6.4 kg (13.7 lbs) lighter than the stock tailgate of the GT4 RS. When combined with the SR Carbon Fiber Wing Support and SR Wing, this results in a total weight savings of 20.7 lbs at a high center-of-gravity point compared to the OEM Porsche setup. Porsche has incorporated super-thin glass into the GT4 RS tailgate to reduce weight. However, this thin, lightweight glass is prone to cracking, even in automatic car washes. To make matters worse, the OEM tailgate glass comes with a staggering price tag of $2,600. In response to this issue, Silver Rocket has developed their own HD Lightweight Polycarbonate Glass, which is included in the Dry Carbon Fiber Tailgate package at no additional cost. This innovative solution not only reduces weight but also alleviates concerns about the fragility of the expensive GT4 RS rear glass. Touring Version Available In response to requests from several VIP customers, Silver Rocket have designed a special Touring version of the V-Frame Dry Carbon Fiber Tailgate that eliminates the cutouts for rear wing mounts. Please note that this Touring version is custom built-to-order only, with a lead time of approximately 8-10 weeks.

C3 Carbon Porsche GT2 RS / GT3 RS Front Brake NACA Ducts FITS: 991.2 Porsche GT2 RS and GT3 RS C3 Carbon offers this GT2 RS / GT3 RS 100% carbon fiber front NACA brake duct kit, giving you the uncompromising look, fitment, and finish to match your Porsche's factory carbon perfectly. You get replacements for the two NACA ducts on the exterior (top) of your front trunk bonnet and two replacements for the interior ducts on the bottom side. The NACA ducts match the 2x2 carbon weave on your Porsche's factory carbon, finished with either a high-gloss or smooth satin automotive urethane top coat. The interior ducts are matched to the weave and matte finish of the bonnet's underside. All four pieces are pure dry carbon fiber, no overlays. INCLUDES: Two NACA ducts (top side of bonnet) Two interior ducts (bottom side of bonnet) 3M VHB double-sided trim adhesive FEATURES: Autoclaved pre-preg dry carbon fiber 2x2 weave matched to Porsche's factory carbon Clear-coated with durable automotive urethane OEM-perfect fit Installs in minutes without any modification Digitally 3D laser scanned for guaranteed fitment Autoclave formed in billet aluminum molds at more than 100 psi and 200 degrees F Experience the Difference of C3 Carbon Products Competition Carbon Components (C3 Carbon) has been steadily gaining in popularity amongst today high-performance driving enthusiasts due to several key factors that help C3 Carbon stand out in a market full of sub-par aftermarket offerings. Each C3 Carbon product is manufactured to provide perfect fit and extreme strength while reducing weight, maximizing quality and ensuring years of exceptional finish. We provide all of this for significantly less money than OEM parts. Every product we make uses pre-impregnated dry carbon formed in a CNC-machined billet aluminum mold which is manufactured by laser-scanning the OEM component(s) so you know you ll have a perfect fit, every time. Dry carbon is stronger and lighter than wet carbon, often weighing 1/3 of our competitors products. Our manufacturing methods also produce a smoother surface on each part for more dimensional accuracy; shaving edges, widening mounting holes and flexing pieces to make them fit are a thing of the past. C3 Carbon also applies an automotive urethane clear-coat which is U/V cured for durability and guarantees C3 Carbon parts won't yellow over time. Many of our competitors use wet carbon (which is heavier), and some use fiberglass with a carbon overlay (much heavier, as the carbon fiber has epoxy literally painted onto it). These materials and manufacturing methods produce a poor finish due to air contamination, and because the epoxy isn t applied uniformly throughout the weave. These products are also much weaker than C3 Carbon products. Finally, most competitors use a fiberglass mold, which is far less expensive but cannot maintain the strict tolerances we demand of our own products. In the end, the fit and finish simply cannot stand up to C3 Carbon products.
