Okay, I finally got all the Vorsteiner carbon parts installed. I can honestly say it is now 100% to my satisfaction. The carbon is very high quality and I even decided against painting the front chin spoiler as it looks great with agate. Special shout out to Eric at Supreme who not only had the best prices and prompt service and shipping, but when the rear baby duck didn't sit 100% to satisfaction promptly got vorsteiner to send a replacement. I honestly felt it was about 90% but Eric didn't accept that and got a replacement without my asking. That's rare customer care especially in this industry.
Heres a couple quick pics. I should have my brixton forged wheels next week. Will update then.

I do and I did...
The only issue is being a little intimidated by taking that much apart, but the instructions are great and if you are reasonably mechanically skilled...no big deal.
Installed this massive wing from Vorsteiner (V-GTX) on my car. I am super HAPPY with look now it makes driving on the road much nicer when you can see this crazy wing behind you .
I will see what this wing will do around a race track
Now a question for you ... what do you think about the color (the wing color vs body color) ? should I keep it OR to paint to match body color ?

Get ready for a LOT of attention. How are you going to balance out your aero, when at speed, for your track driving?
The car is equipped with the sport design front bumper ... maybe it is not enough?!
Will this cause more understeer ? Too much drag?
probably isn't enough. I believe vorsteiners front lip spoiler will attach to the sport design front bumper.
looking at that spoiler the bolts on the sides... do they allow for the big wing with carbon section to be removed so that you only have that duck piece?

I have a bit of Aeronautical Eng. background so perhaps I can provide some input. Yes, the balance will be off. The Vorsteiner wing was probably modeled to be a bit like the GT3-RS wing. However, the Vorsteiner wing has an angle of attack that is a bit different from the RS. Based on the pictures, it points down a bit more which would result in quite a bit more down force.
To compound the issue, the GT3 and GT3 RS cars have a different bumper that creates enough down force to achieve the force distribution that the Porsche engineers felt was appropriate. The non GT3/RS cars do not have that bumper. Even the Turbo has the front lip bumper that deploys at high speed to compensate for the effects of drag/down force. That is why Porsche doesn't want to sell the Aerokit wing without selling the matching front bumper. They don't even want to sell the sport spoiler lip to cars without Sport PASM!
To sum it all up, your front end does not have an adequate amount of down force to compensate for that wing. At high speed, your steering may be affected. Go even faster, and the car will do the acrobatic back flip that you see in some Indy/F1/etc races. At what speed I don't know, but at some point, the down force of that wing will surely cause most of the force to go toward the rear of the car.
For Joe Schmoes like me that only does spirited drives on the windy country back roads, probably no biggy. For guys that drive at speed, I would be very cautious/nervous.
