Default RSA Wing Installed: Before and After

I got the car back Tuesday from Bodymotion in Ocean NJ....I think that they did an excellent job...

The car neded a wing......All 964's should have arrived from the factory this way...I feel now that the car is complete.


The day before I dropped it off to Bodymotion.










This is the way it looked when I bought it.. I still have all the original parts..

Looks very good

May I suggest lowering the car and getting more negative camber in the front? What width and offset are your front wheels?

The rear rims are 18 x 10 and the fronts are 18 x 9 I believe... I wrote it down and I have to check...I am also running a 5mm spacer on the rear...I do have the flattened oil lines though.


These rims are the standard RH 1 piece...(I bought these used from a fellow Rennlister who had them at TPC Supercharger's)

I really would like to lower the car, but my issue is that I have a hard enough time trying to get the car in the driveway as it is..(very steep).My Cobra has been lowered a bit and it is almost impossible for me to pull in the driveway...I have to pull in completly crooked to get in....Luckily I do not have any under the car (front bumper) scratches...

The curbs that the township poured are a bit tall and steep.

I actually got the wing from Dave Katz a DE instructor here in NJ.....(NNJRPCA).....He went with a GT2 wing on his RSA...I had to have Bodymotion paint the RSA wing/decklid from Guards Red to Grand Prix White..

I bought the wing almost a year ago from him...My timing was just right in finding this wing/decklid..

Thank You.....I just need to start driving it more...I still only have 34,000 miles on the her...I am limited on the mileage though because of the collector car insurance I have...


Believe it or not, but I actually like the flag mirrors....I want to keep the car as original as I can...I have saved everything just in case...

Looks great I am having an RSA tail added as we speak. Did it take a lot to fit. I hear you have to make adapters to fit the existing lifts. I guess i will find out when I get the bill.

You will be complete when you get rid of the SUV ride height.

Yes Cobalt you are correct......they (Bodymotion) had to fabricate the L brackets...It took them 3 days total to remove old wing and decklid and paint the RSA decklid and wing from Guards red to Grand Prix White...

The total was $1330.00..

It came out perfect.....paint matches well and the gapping on the edges are perfect........I will need to buy a stronger engine lid shock...the current one barely hold up the RSA wing combo..I thought it would considering the motorized wing/decklid is heavier...

I can take pictures if you need to see brackets they created in Aluminum and how they attached it to the hinges.

Mike from the body department @Bodymotion was who I delt with...Very nice to work with.....


Good luck with your install..It will look incredible ...I'm sure...
