Default 968 turbo RS Wiper Aerofoil

Hi Guys I'm in the early stages of my 968turbo RS project, doing a bit of body stuff, planning etc while I wait on some engine parts.
I have a local guy who is going to make a replica of the wiper aerofoil thing for me, as in pic.As far as I know it is made of unobtainium
I am looking for any pics other than on Konstantin's site http://www.968turbo.de/ and if anyone has actually seen one of these, curious as to how it is attached.
Any other info on it is welcome.

There was one at the 50th Porsche Parade at Hershey a couple years ago-start a search by going over event photos, I'm sure there are some pics.

Thanks for the suggestions, found a few pics, and yes raj more would be welcome, but I am most interested in how it is attached, and all the pics I have seen of Jason's show it sans aerofoil.

I would be interested in hearing more about the aerofoil. Does anybody know anything about the strip above the rear spoiler? can any of these pieces still be found? I assume they are all unobtainium.

If you look at the rear spoiler, the top piece is your standard center section, whats trick is the section it mounts to. Its much longer than a standard center section. Not sure if its available. I will try to find out if Porsche Motorsports still has them. I have no need for one but would be nice to know.

I'm getting my guy to make me a copy of that as well as the aerofoil. Would love to know more of the history/development of the 968 turbo RS.So much potential that wasn't pursued.

I talked to Jason today on an unrelated mater and his car does not have one. He thinks it was an add on piece and does not know how it is attached.

You may want to have someone take notes and pictures at Renn Sport Reunion this year.

Sorry I was in a mad rush yesterday (frigging traffic on 95) or I would have taken the time to look at the one that was 10 feet from me. I promise to get you pics and info on the 27th in Hershey.

Mark, make sure you come by and say hello when you are at Hershey. I was planning on doing the same but the more pictures we can get, the better.
Regards.

I have bigger pics if they would help any and the shot of the center underneath did not come out but there are two screw underneath in the middle.
