We haven't yet got our hands on a 718 here in the US, but all indications show the stock riser is the same part as the 981.
These raise the stock wing by 3", which really suits the "dropped" wing endplates of the 718. Made from 6061 billet aluminum with a flawless black anodized finish.
Full Install Guide Here. No drilling or cutting - retains stock weather seals and installation hardware. Pry tools included.
Thank you! Happy to keep hearing people love the proportions.

I have to agree that this looks great. I would be concerned with upsetting the carefully thought through aero balance of the car though...
The risers do move the wing into cleaner air, which does add some rear downforce. We do suggest removing the front factory aero ducts to help with balance. The wing angle is kept the same as factory. At the highest levels of track use, you may want to consider front dive planes.
We'll have 718 GT4 install photos soon, but for now - loving the look of this Carmine Red install! (Owner IG @forrest_sonntag / @glaswerksdmv
A nice little mod for when we all get over that initial gut punch and kick in the ***** of spending a small fortune on a GT4...lol. Until then, Ill make every excuse in the book of why I like the car stock.
....looks better stock....
....no data to support performance improvements and balance with other aero...
....thinking of more excuses....

Can't go lower than what's listed - we tried to make the standard price extremely fair given the level of quality and design. We only sell direct, no distributor markups. They're also in stock so no wait times.
