Former Vendor
Just my $.02. Tony had one of these made for me approximately five years ago and it's been a great addition to my 944. Tony is a stand up guy and dealing with him was both effortless and a pleasure. He shipped it to me via Greyhound and it took 5 days to travel from CA to PA IIRC. Kudos to him for taking the time and effort to offer these again!
I filled in the molded PORSCHE letters and sprayed the entire piece with two coats of primer. Sanded down, then two coats of Krylon Semi Flat Black. Finished it off with some rattle can 3M rubberized undercoating to match the black "pebbled" finish of the smaller OEM piece. Since I had filled in the moulded PORSCHE lettering (just not my taste) I added one of Van's silver / grey PORSCHE logo decals.
Expect to do some work on the piece as, with most fiberglass pieces, there will be some minor filling and tweaking required. If you're not a body shop tech then using the 3M undercoating as a final finish would help to conceal any minor imperfections. Since I had filled in the moulded PORSCHE lettering my piece required more time and work than if I had left it unfilled. Overall it's a well made piece!
( just as a side note I was living in PA at the time and had antique vehicle tags. Pennsylvania had printed the image of a lame red tin lizzie to the left of the number. Not very appropriate for a Porsche so I found a black iron cross decal on eBay. I stopped into a "fast sign / banner" shop and bought a small piece of reflective white magnetized sign material. Decided to make it removable in case of any issues with the local constabulary. Decal went on the magnetized sheet and the sheet went over the tin lizzie. Voila......."administratively personalized"
.
Here's a few pics of the spoiler on Tony's car. His mould was made from this exact spoiler and if he's making a run of them it's exactly what you'll receive

FWIW - I reached out to AIR and got this reply-
“The GTS wing is $425.00 there is a $20.00 boxing and bubblewrap charge, shipping is extra. At this time I am giving 25% discount if you donate some of the discount to a charity bike rid that I do once a year so your cost on the wing would be $318.75 + $50 donation $368.75 so you would save $56.25 if you have any questions please ask.”
Based on my follow up phone conversation, the discount will honored for only a couple of weeks.

I contacted GT Racing recently and asked about it and they said they are retooling it because they weren't happy with how securely it mounted. I asked when it will be back but was basically told to check back in the future as they are backed up on orders.
If anyone has one of those for sale or one I can borrow and pull a mold from, let me know. I specifically want the gtp style wing that comes more to a point at the tip vs. The gtr wing that is more blocky. Unfortunately I believe they were the only one making one like that.
