Does look great! Get some more pics outdoors of course.

I still don't get the blanking out of number plates in pics though?

Looks great. Give us some more details of angle setting plates, do they look as impressive as on D9 site?

Did you attach this to a 944 or 968 hatch? Is it true there are two versions of the wing from D9, one for 944 and one for 968? Thanks.

p.s. It looks great!

Sorry for the belated reply but to answer your questions: The car is still at the shop so I will get more pics when I can and yes, the Angle plates look like the ones in the photos on the site. The wing was raw Fiberglass and took some time to mount. I mounted mine to my 951 hatch but I think there may be another version. E-man930 what else would you like to know?

The wing fits the same either way. There are two main differences in the hatches. First, the pins that fit into the closing mechanisms are a little different, but very easy to get around. Second, the 968 hatch has four tabs welded to it for the little lip spoiler that goes underneath the wing. That's it. Otherwise, all of the holes line up the same and everything. My 968 has this wing, and when I put in lexan, I used a 944 hatch. I left the lip spoiler off, which I believe should be better for reduced drag, and also should help the wing create more downforce (the rare win/win!), as not having the lip will let the air underneath the wing expand a little more, creating a lower pressure region. It should also reduce the turbulence behind the car a tad.

Hah! Rather than the usual double-edged sword. Thanks for that info. 944 hatch w/ lexan window and this wing is exactly what I want to do.

You guys ever see that vented lexan window that sort of looks like a Ferrari F40 Window? Very cool. Perfect with a 968 RS wing too BTW

From point of purchase how long did it take you to receive the wing from them? Did you order anything additional to help with fitment or anything special?

I believe that it took about a month to get the wing. He was supposed to send out adjustment bolts but im still waiting for those, a year later. The wing did take a lot, and I mean a lot of finishing work so be aware of that. It is very far from being ready to just attach and go.
