Default 991 GT3 - RS Rear Wing.

Hello,

Is it possible to install a GT3 RS rear wing on a 991 GT3 with some modification, or is there a after market Rear wing already released in the market.

I'm just in love with the 997 GT3 RS MKII 2 rear wing it looks gorgeous and would love to install one.

Is it just me, or is the angle crazy steep the way they have the wing set up? I sure hope the angle is adjustable, like on the original.

Nice parts though. More things to add to my shopping list!

Hard to completely tell but in the video it appears to be set to 9 degrees which is the angle for the RS 4.0. My 3.8 is set to 6 degrees.

Could be the angle of the video, but it looks to me that the wing is crowding the air box inlet, the 991 shape is different and it looks like a 997.2 wing and uprights are used which appear to be too low.

The Crawford wing while maybe not as aesthetically pleasing is up much higher and looks more aerodynamically efficient. It has the added benefit of retaining your OE airbox and lid.

Interesting take on changing the wing. Steep angle.

I'm definitely interested in the RS wing for the GT3, but I'd want something up front to balance. Maybe canards?

Yes, Max Crawford has already designed a far higher performance raised Rear Wing for my 991GT3 and it is available for $2,960 including extended mounting Pylons with Dual LED Brakelights installed and wiring harness so that it is a Plug and Play conversion which takes only 30 minutes to install. The raised Pylons
put the Wing in cleaner air and give you a Clear View through the rear mirror.
I've been tracking it at several HPDEs and it works great requiring no further Aerodynamic balancing. It also makes driving on the road much nicer when you can see the traffic, cars and pedestrians behind you. See my Avatar and the photos I've posted on our website - FMI <www.crawfordcomposites.com>
