Believe me im updating the list as I get emails. They are dropping like flies. The economy is bad right now and most people have a hard time spending $1500.00 bucks on a wing for a car that isn't worth much more.
I'm way on the other side of stupid with this car now though so might as well finish the damn thing. If I ever do sell it I wonder what it will be worth.

Makes sense for me because I'm making the car into a whole different animal with the LS1 and so forth.
To all who would love our new wing but times are hard it is possible that we can discount further if you would rather opt for stainless steel fixings rather than aerospace titanium - If that helps we will drop a further 50 Euro's.
I have a further orders from the UK, Europe, Eastern Block and the Middle East plus Asia so if we can get to 20 including our confirmed outside of RL in the next couple of weeks we might be able to help further but please remember we have already discounted more than 15% but I will do what I can to help everyone interested
Best regards,

Mark,
First I would like to say thanks for putting the time and effort into the development of these 968 products.
Stainless would be fine with me. Any further price reductions would allow me to purchase a couple of more products from you when I place my order.
When do you think that you will have a CF unit for us to take a look at?
Thanks and look forward to doing business with you!
Cheers,
Joel

Molds are all finished but we are just waiting on the company we outsourced the CNC machining to as they messed up our original order. If the truth be known I hate to outsource anything as it slows the process down, adds to costs and ultimately reduces control over what we do but needs must and after our new factory move funds are very tight but we will soon bring CNC in-house.
Once we receive the new batch of adjustable plates then we will mount to our development car and take some pics - I'm pushing them mate so hopefully not to long as we have a lot of European customers who want the wing like yesterday
Best regards,
Mark

Hey Guys,
I don't want to come off like a cheer leader for the manufacture but here I go.....
Hope we do not loose many based on pricing. Price seems more that fair, I expected much more for the CF version.
These guys are already talking about price reductions and changing there production runs to help with the cost.
This is a very small community and I would like to think that we are willing to support those that are willing to take the risk of parts development.
Cheers, Joel

After having the privilege of tracking down some quick 968s I have a couple of dumb questions from a 951 guy.
- What does TRS stand for?
- Why is CPR doing a trim option?
- Why do you have two options for the wing?
- How much down force is added? Yes I understand it is adjustable.
- Why do it?

- What does TRS stand for? I have no clue
- Why is CPR doing a trim option?because unlike the 968 guys that already have painted trim pieces to match us 944 guys don't. So we need the trim moldings that surround the rest of the hatch to make it look right.
- Why do you have two options for the wing?I don't know why anyone would purchase FB over CF but, this is a question better suited for Mark. As I'm sure they have their reasons for offering different variations and I can't comment. I know personally the second I found out they offer CF I didn't want it any other way.
- How much down force is added? Yes I understand it is adjustable.Once again a question probably better suited to be answered by Mark or the other guys at D9. I'm not so concerned with down force myself. I know that might sound bad but, these body mods I'm doing to the car are for looks. Not performance. All the performance mods are in the suspension, brakes, and engine bay.
- Why do it?Why pay 7k to have a 968 rear end put on a 944? Because I want my car to be unique and one of a kind. To my knowledge this is the first ever production remake of this wing. Its rare and NO one has them. I've seen a couple on a few 944's and 968's but, I can count those on one hand. I wish my car to be special and unlike any other 944 out there. It explains alot of whats on the car already and whats going to be on it in the coming 12 months.

Indeed. While we don't "owe" anyone our business, it's certainly in our interest, if we can at all, to protect vendors who make the risky move of developing 944-specific products from taking a loss.
