Default Anyone recommend a vender to buy replica 993 RSR or GT2 wing

Hi I have been wanting to get a rear wing and front spoiler for my 1996 carrera 2 track car. Anybody recommend a vendor that sells quality products with good fitment for the 993? I was thinking of getting the wing and front spoiler posted below in pictures. I believe that is the GT2 wing, do you think it would be too big for the narrow body 993? My other thought was the RSR wing.

Some vendors I have heard of are Getty design and Mashaw. Thanks.

The wing in the top picture is the GT2 wing, the second picture is RS Clubsport aero gear. The rear wings are both available from MA Shaw or Getty both are decent quality, Not factory by any means. As for the front lip, all US based manufacturers make an inferior product, I tried front lips from 3 different vendors and they all sucked. Bought a fantastic one piece unit from Germany, slightly different than the factory 3-piece unit, but looks better and fits better than the factory part.

I bought the GT2 one (1) piece front splitter from Gert, German fiberglass. Beautiful fit and finish, and about $500. NEVER buy aftermarket side skirts, NEVER. I have had aftermarket, and OEM, OEM from Gert was far superior...they actually fit and don't require two (2) sided tape. For the tail, OEM is really expensive. I capitulated and bought Getty Design, decent fit and finish. I would ONLY buy from Getty or MA Shaw, same thing.

I had a pal buy a 993 RS tail from another aftermarket mfg. that cannot be named, and it took 9 hours of body shop labor to finish and fit the tail to the car, prior to paint. Admin doesn't want me to name the vendor, so I respectfully won't.

If I could ever get my hands on a clean GT2 wing I would make the swap. Everyone I’ve ever seen looks race car rough. The only exception being one Viper Bob had years ago. It may have been OEM. It was perfect and carbon fiber! One of those things I let slip through my hands that I’ve been kicking myself for ever since.

Good luck to the OP. If you find a better source I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks for replies. I may go with the 3.8 RSR wing since it isnt as big for my car and Gt2 fits better with wide body cars.

installing the rsr 3.8 wing from ma shaw/getty I needed hinge adapters to fit.
strange situation because I was told the wing is direct bolt on and ma shaw/getty don't sell the adapters, didn't even know they existed.
gt racing sells the hinge adapters and you can see some pics and find more info searching 'hinge adapters' on the 964 forum.
