RS wing quality
Well slowly I am moving towards having my car look like the Riviera blue RS model I purchased last year.
My question is that of quality of reproduction? I have read and searched untill my eyes bleed and my simple question is "whose RS wing do you have" and how was the quality, fit, finish, service from vender?
Option I have found are Factory Porsche, MA Shaw, Vertex or VTX, Better Bodies who have I left out?
thanks edward

wow! Certainly seems like you listed them all. I can't speak to the quality difference, but MA Shaw impressed me in that they use a flex resin compound for the front RS splitter (I believe similar to 993RS OEM). They also have the RS wing available in carbon fiber. No affiliation with them, but they are high on my list when I do this mod next year.

Edward,
Try http://www.gettydesign.com/
IMO I would go with the factory piece. Cheaper in the long run, once you factor in labor to make the aftermarket pieces as nice as the factory ones.

I'll second the MA Shaw / Getty recommendations... I think though that you may want to consider a cup wing with a GT2 front spoiler.... This is a pic off MA Shaw's site. I don't think they get much better than this....

thanks for the response and answers!, greg thanks for the getty site, missed that one! bob i am afraid i don't have enough gerbals in the engine bay for that rear wing, i do like the front splitter. I currently working on building my own splitter using aluminum. e

I also plan to do the RS wing this winter... if we get a few more we should look at a group buy!
I'd love to see all these companies with their products side-by-side on a table to judge quality, etc. Anyone done that?

Good idea, Jeff! Count me in if a GB happens for an excellent quality aftermarket RS wing.

OT, but Kelly--were you bidding on an Autoweek with the 993 on the cover on eBay? The username was somewhat like your rennlist name and I won the auction--thought it may have been you
