Great job. I've the Porsche Motorsport rear wing on my race car, which I like except for the maximum adjustment angle. Your piece offers a much broader range of adjustment.

I have a 968 3 piece rear spoiler ,from Germany with 3 position settings,and it is great , except that the
fixing of it was bit tricky, on my 951 track car.

Has anyone experimented by sawing the std 968 one piece wing into 3 pieces and making it adjustable, like the motorsport
item, as i am of the opinion that the angle of the std fixed wing,in fact may promote lift at high speeds instead of downforce, and added drag as the car speed increases.

As you now realize, that's not made to fit a 944. A "standard" 968 spoiler is not as tall as the turbo, 3-piece wing. I don't know of anyone who has chopped the regular spoiler in 3. But, again, fitment on the 944, with 944 rear hatch trim, would be just as tricky. In any event, I seriously doubt that the 968 spoiler "promotes lift instead of downforce". It still is, afterall, a Porsche.

Was not familiar with 968 products available for DeutschNine - all I can say is wow. This makes it tempting to really start (external first) with the conversion to a 968 S or RS.

I haven't been able to get on their website for 3 or 4 days (since I've been trying) Can someone post a pic of the wing. I'm not picking up the pics that came in on the first post either. Please/Thank you

oceanvue - We are currently experiencing intermittency issues with our hosting company which is resulting in us moving to another hosting provider early next week – something to do with our website residing on a bad range of I.P. Addresses which other are using for SPAM . I have uploaded the pictures to another server of ours so you should be able to see the images here and on the other thread posted over on the 951 board (link can be found in post #1).

Pictures of our Carbon Fibre version will be posted next week

Best regards,
Mark
