No worries, a DSLR camera is a professional camera body for consumers with interchangeable lenses that offer granular control over your subject.

As for the GT3 RS wing... These are replicas or copies of Porsche's design which is used on the 997.2 GT3 RS and 4.0. I'm positive that Porsche invested some serious R&D dollars in this design as variants of this design are used on Porsche cup cars. You won't really be able to quantify the aero grip downforce that these designs offer under 100 mph though so for street purposes you are more or less only gaining in the aesthetic department.

All I can think of when I look at it is "sprint car".

What you are missing is that in a addition to the wing the rest of the car is "matched" for the drag and down force created by the wing. His has a turbo front bumper which is NOT what a GT3RS has...LOL

I believe you would need the whole package as wross noted. And agree looks like a sprint car spoiler = not attractive but I'm sure with the whole set up performs well. I'm old with old taste's what do I know lol.
