Default CMS GT2RS-Style Carbon Wing Endplates For GT3RS

C3 Carbon has created a GT2-Style, 100% dry carbon fiber rear-wing end plates that bolt directly to the factory GT3 RS wing! The OEM GT2 RS end plates use a completely different attachment system (adhesive) than the OEM GT3 RS end plates (bolt-on). But a lot of people love the look of the GT2 RS wing ends. So we married the two, giving customers the look of the GT2 RS on their GT3 RS! C3 Carbon end plates precisely match the uncompromising look, fitment, and finish of the factory Porsche carbon rear wing. Starting with 3D laser scanning, we make an ultra-precise, CNC-machined aluminum billet mould for these RS end plates. This precision results in a fitment that's what you would expect from OEM Porsche parts.

The look and finish are amazing, the way the RS cars should come from the factory to be honest. Our 2x2 carbon weave matches that of the rear wing to perfection, lining up seamlessly with the wing's weave. The high-gloss automotive urethane top coat is hand-applied and polished to a mirror finish.

We're offering an introductory special to Rennlist members: the first ten customers can use coupon code "GT2ONGT3" and get $300 off. Click Here To Go To Our Product Page

Do please warn potential customers that there's a good chance this won't be an easy replacement.

The OEM endplates are held in place with two Allen screws on each side, accessible from under the wing. The thread which mates with these screws is a metallic piece countersunk into the carbon fiber and held in place by glue.

When customers or dealerships try to untorque the Allen screw, more than a couple found that the glue gave up, leaving the whole screw+thread assembly to rotate inside its hole.

This isn't a simple problem to fix, and I can confirm that it's happened on a good number of WP wing aside from my own.

We have found it to be a very simple replacement and have not had difficulty with endplate swaps in which the attachment hardware has come loose. Thanks for your feedback, however.

Nice job! Now please make some in matte black to match the OEM pieces and you've got customers A lot of RSs out there don't have glossy carbon all over them.

No problem at all, let us know on your order that you prefer matte black and we'll make it happen!

Thank you CMS for being the first on this. Can you make matte CF instead of glossy?

We sure can! You can choose gloss or matte clear, or satin black finish.

How about making something this size since Manthey doesn't seem to want to sell to us?

I will second that request and would definitely order these bad boys. I am curious what the CFD analysis says these end plates to the performance of the air across the wing. Any shareable information?

Any follow up on these from customers? Has anybody run into the problem mentioned earlier about the threaded insert coming loose? Maybe it was just a problem for WP cars since the wing is a different material than non-WP? I want to try these but I'm concerned. I don't want to wind up having to drop $12K for a new wing if something goes wrong.
