951 gt racing le mans spoiler
Does anyone have this spoiler? I'm curious because I was thinking about getting one. There are a few pics and it's real nice. Any effects on handling? downforce? Thanks.

how about the looks? does it look better than the stock wing? would it look "too much" for an everyday porsche? I don't want my car to look overdone. I want it to look nice and intimidating.

no prob, Just one more question (sorry to sound annoying), What kind of rims are those? The black inside with the polished rim is a nice touch. i was thinking of doing that, but didn't know what wheels to use or which ones would look good. Thanks.

Paul, I hate to be the one to beat a dead horse, but is that wide body the front fenders too? And if you dont mind, how much for the kit and install. That makes my car look wimpy, I love it!!!

I have installed one (GT Racing LeMans Spoiler) of these on a friends car, and just received one (one month late) today for my car. They install pretty easily but require some drilling in the rear deck in order to fit the screws. You also must paint it to match your car color.
In general GT Racing fiberglass fits pretty poorly and requires a ton of work to look nice. I have done the front end of my car and have held off on the rear because it is a lot harder.

I thought the gt racing spoiler was made out of the same material as the stock wing. If it's a hard plastic, then that's garbage. Even worse, is that I hear it's hard to install... wow i'm disappointed.

Dude, it's a race car part! I don't think you want a spoiler which is supposed to give you appreciable downforce to deflect like rubber will under load.

Any aftermarket fiberglass, at least that i have come in contact with, require some fitting and detail work. GtRacing does have nice product, extremely nice actually. As previously mentioned, it IS in fact a race car part, that is GtRacing's target customer base.

DUDE! I Didn't ask you! Whats with the attitude? I'm very well aware that it won't give as much downforce, I just wanted some info, It's my opinion,
951Carter, Thanks for the info. Does it have to be painted black or does it come black? Thanks again.
