From GT Wing to Stock
Guys, I bought my car with a long list of mods including this carbon fiber wing. I think I may want to go to the stock one.
What is the best way to do this? Where to get one? Any one want to trade?

if thats the actual car you purchased.... ie. the vivid car i would just leave it be. it all blends together, anything oem would look terrible with the front and rear bumper being so aggressive by design
if you really want to go with a more mellow wing i would suggest the factory aerokit wing

That's a stunning car, wing or no wing. In fact I'd buy a standard 911 deck lid and try it wingless for something different. Just don't take it to the track without balanced downforce...

let me know if I can help you with electric Rams instead of the hydraulic type.

If that is your car it looks like it has the full VRT kit. I'd leave it, the kit works well together and going to the standard 997TT wing would likely look out of place on that car.

Same here, I'd keep that wing if that's your actual car. If anything I'm not a huge fan of the red wheels but that's just my taste.

Yes this is my car. Let me explain my logic. The huge wing detracts from the hips.
I hear what you're saying about it all going well and it does. But I don't think a stock wing would look imbalanced. All that is done is deeper chin and side skirts. I could see if it had a DTM widebody kit or something that needed ginormous wing to balance. LOL
I've seen highly modded turbos with deeper front chin, wheels, drop etc with stock wing and the hips visually protrude more since the wing doesn't draw the eyes upward.
Below is an example of a modded turbo with big chunky diffuser even and still looks great with stock wing.

Don't do it!!
My car has the same spoiler/trunk.
It's the Vorsteiner VRT spoiler. Your car also has the VRT front/rear bumpers and side skirts. That’s what ever one is talking about.
When I first got my car I liked it but felt it was too much. Now I can't imagine my car without it. It really sets off the car.
If I were you, I'd keep the spoiler and replace the bumpers. IIRC those are all carbon fiber construction and will fetch a pretty penny in the aftermarket.
This car looks like it has a stock spoiler and the Werks1 lip and rear diffuser.
This one is Moacur's and it appears he has the OEM aero kit which consists of a spoiler, rear diffuser, side skirts and a front lip.
