Has anyone checked out the AIR wing? I have no idea how much it costs, but I know they have done some pretty nice group buys on their splitter - might be worth talking to them about the wing.

That's ridiculous. Is it at least carbon fiber? Why in heck would they go through the trouble of making one if they are going to try to sell it for an outrageous price - nice market research. GT Racing has an equally obnoxiously priced one at $1,100, but at least the center section is CF. Interestingly enough though, GT Racing has a 968 adjustable for only $275. I'm wondering if it really took that much effort to convert it to fit a 944 that they need to get charge an additional $800 to make money.

You think that's expensive....When I called Porsche MotorSport In Germany, I was told that if they even had one in stock, a true Factory 968 RST Spoiler ( not Fiberglass or CarbonFiber ) would cost me about $3000 today...
And as far as the AIR spoiler I believe it is All Carbon Fiber, I mean only the wing, not the side pieces or Lower bridge I think..

And before you guys start posting links and pics of other companys that sell the same one as Van-Zweeden..I have news for u...Call that company and see who they get the spoiler from....Hmmmm...VAn-Zweeden of course...I have spoken with all of these companys even, to confirm this..
into my knowledge spoilers Swedes sell are manufactured in Sweden. Hope some of the Swedes can confirm this. I know one Swede from whom you can buy almost all sheet metal, doors,hood etc. made from glassfibre or carbon

I do understand that van_zweeden does not only sell polish made spoilers, When I recieved the group order of 4 complete spoilers, three were the same, while one was made custom by some certain swedish guy cause of the carbon fiber center of course...? You want to see pics of this thing..? 
And I am not willing to give out who I have spoken with over there, I can't just go posting more than I already have on this matter, until everything is resolved with them..Thats the way it should be...

I don't even know if they carry wings, etc. but they certainly were easier, cheaper, and more straightforward to deal with, so I posted the link for anyone looking for European based aftermarket suppliers of Porsche parts.
YMMV

That's odd... I friend of mine spoke with the Swedish dealer for Porsche Motorsport and the 968 Turo spoiler only costed 6500 SEK... but that's without the side trim pieces.
In either case... buying a replica for over $1000 is a bit crazy!

Hmmmm. Does he do buisness with Van_zweeden, Cause if he does I also have one of his custom made spoilers with the center piece made of carbon fiber, and what a nice piece it is.. I do understand that van_zweeden does not only sell polish made spoilers, When I recieved the group order of 4 complete spoilers, three were the same, while one was made custom by some certain swedish guy cause of the carbon fiber center of course...? You want to see pics of this thing..?
I would like to see some pictures, if you have them available.
Haven't seen in nature these Swedish spoilers, only pictures.
Have seen Van Zweeden spoilers & UK based company Club Auto Sport ones. Van Zweeden was rather good while Club Auto Sport was quite bad.
However i still like the original "Rubber-Duck" best
