Default QQ, any interest ?

For those of you whom track. If I were to design a part out of billet aluminum, an upright like the .2RS, to raising the oem rear wing by about 6" to get cleaner air to help the rear give more downforce, would this be of something of interest ? I was at mooty's house this weekend and we were comparing the 4.0 / .1 3, and noticed how much lower the rear wing sits on a 991.

A stand-off might be okay, but really the whole deck-lid needs a rethink.
I'd suggest starting with a Cup decklid (direct fit, bolt-on) and uprights/wing, then adjust to taste. You'll get actual aero and something that can be removed for a less "arrest me!" appearance.

Right. That would be good. It doesn't fit by a long shot, 997 to 991, but a 997.2 RS decklid with or without the ducktail and with an easy way to install/remove the uprights for the wing section, well, I think that was just about ideal.

Looks like these guys did a great job and designed a new deck for the 991 looking like a 3.8 RS. I actually dig it.

Use oem decklid
raise oem wing by 6-8 inches”
Quickly removable.
6061 alum, anodize and clear coat to have paint like finish.

It's an idea for those whom dont want to spend 15k plus on oem decklid of a cup car, just for looks.

I think a mount to allow attachment of an RSR wing would be ideal. Just extended the stock wing is not as interesting to me.

Wow the 3rd brakelite is on the wing itself. So take it has a wire connected to it- can it extend 6 inches with the wing extenders? Mike
