20.7 LBS OF WEIGHT SAVING
Constructed from 100% aerospace-grade dry carbon fiber, the SR V-Frame tailgate is 6.4 kg (13.71 lbs) lighter than the stock tailgate of the GT4RS. 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 gravity point compared to the OEM setup.
1300+ LBS DOWNFORCE READY
The SR Super Strong V-Frame and Honeycomb Core are engineered to support larger wings, handling downforce levels of up to 600 kg/1322 lbs with exceptional stability.
REARWARD-EXTENDED WING SETUP READY
We frequently receive inquiries about if we will provide rearward-extended wing support. Our consistent response has been "no" as our FEA analysis of the OEM tailgate indicates that it is not designed for a rearward-extended wing setup under high downforce. However, we have taken this request into account in the development of this tailgate, which is engineered to safely support the additional forces generated by a rearward backing wing setup.
PERFECT MATCH FOR WEISSACH PACK
The SR Dry Carbon Fiber V-Frame Tailgate is made with extreme attention to detail, it exquisitely complements the carbon fiber aesthetic of the GT4 RS Porsche Weissach Pack, leaving no room for compromise.
INDESTRUCTIBLE HD LIGHTWEIGHT POLYCARBONATE GLASS INCLUDED
Porsche has incorporated a super thin glass in the GT4 RS tailgate to reduce weight. However, this lightweight solution has a significant drawback: the thin glass is prone to cracking. Numerous reports on Rennlist highlight instances of the rear glass cracking during car washes. To make matters worse, the OEM tailgate glass comes with a staggering price tag of $2,600.
In response to this issue, SilverRocket has developed our own HD Lightweight Polycarbonate Glass, which is included in the 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.

Recently took delivery of my GT4RS and installed the carbon rollcage by silver rocket. With the Weissach package, a carbon roll cage matches perfectly all the carbon bits in the package especially the carbon air intake. The result turns out above my expectation and it makes the whole car look so much better even compared to the factory cage even the one in titanium.
Have done a number of modifications on different cars and dealt with many after market carbon parts, the quality of the cage is definitely top notched and the fit and finish is perfect, making installation a breeze. Last but not least it actually comes with a 50-page installation manual, going through the installation step by step. Never seen that before even from top tuner like Novetic.
Highly recommend the product!!!
This is very cool, I appreciate all the time + effort you guys spent developing this, it certainly shows in the product as it’s one of the most well thought out designs I’ve seen in aftermarket parts.
Very easy substitution. Visibility is even more enhanced by installing a Goodyear Wide Angle 17IN rear VIEW MIRROR that clips on perfectly over the factory mirror. 2 Thumbs Up!!!
+3" Risers are installed on the stock CS wing. Noting:
- Risers appear to be well designed and manufactured. Do not expect any stability or strength issues.
- Install - use the stock / oem mounting brackets, not those included with the kit as those are intended for the SilverRocket wing.
- Was successful in maintaining the same wing angle (2.1 deg.).
- Visibility through the stock rear view mirror is much improved and now only limited by the roll cage and roll bar padding.
- Possibility of increase of rear downforce is not yet known. I have an event later this month at Road America (first time), which should show if there is enough of an increase to result in a potential downforce unbalance between the front and rear. Will also compare at known tracks later this year (Road Atlanta, Sebring, etc.) to better know if any other impacts (top speed, etc.)
Overall, am pleased with the product and installation results at this point.
Buy with confidence from Kimbeli. True Professional.
I recently bought 2 x GT4 RS Clubsport and both ran with extended uprights in their series.
Mainly for better rear vision, with the extra benefit of more downforce.
