Looking at the rear spoiler it does not look like the vanzweeden spoiler RS copy. The endplates in the vanzweeden are in aluminum as the factory RS spoiler. The spoiler in the photos looks more like the RS copy sold by ESS in the UK where the endplates for the wing and the supports are part of the pieces. It just does not look like the original. I have seen the original Porsche 968 RS spoiler and they look different from behind. I just want to clarify where you got yours because I want to order one for a 968 and was thinking about the vanzweeden as the closest copy to the original one. I want to be sure before ordering. You can see photos of the two different RS spoiler copies at : [URL=http://www.v-zweeden.com and [URL=http://www.essentialstyling.com]

Thanks

You might have a better copy that the ESS one. It looks pretty close to the original one or to the one in the VanZweeden site photos. I remember the original being white, but it might just be the material color. The only big different that I see is the size of the adjusment plates. I believe they are smaller in the wing I saw. It might be the photo angle. I sold a 968 last year that had an RS wing just like yours. It was from some company in Europe. Maybe Van Zweeden does the spoiler in white or black material. I'm not sure. The wing was already in the car when I bought it. Still, yours look very close, except for the plates and that might just be the photo angle.

I think the fact that you used A/C floor ducts on the hood might be the coolest thing ever.

The wing is definitely from Van Zweeden. It is adjustable with three holes a maximum of 7/8 ths of an inch. Sorry, I don't have a pic in the up position yet. Felt good at 110 mph today. (No missing trim pieces

)
