Good for you. Can't wait to see the pics. First tip on the instillation, and this is VERY important: Don't install it up-side down!

After the wing is installed will you drop the "Still kinda boring really" please?

Your car has really come a long way, well done!

I love my Misha wing, but be sure to get the front splitter if you can or lower the front end or you may get some buffeting from the front end lifting as the rear has more downforce at high speeds. I used the GT2 front end and it is very stable at 165 plus. Will

I went by Kirby's step-by-step instructions, and it installed perfectly.
Thanks for the tips, Kirb. It would have been a bitch without your photos and instructions!
Good Luck -

Misha Wings come in pretty good shape...it's not perfect but compared to some other companies it's at the top in quality.

I've done 3 wings so far including mine and all have fit perfectly. Of course the paint match and stuff is dependant on the bodyshop you use.

Hey Kirby

Is there any bypass harness for the wing light in the cluster, I am not even sure i need this, I just thought that if it thinks there is no wing there it would blow a code, Is this the case??

When you disconnect the motor, there will be these two microswtiches. These microswtiches are what triggers the motorized wing to raise and lower at speed. I just tiestrapped those microswitches down and so far no spoiler warning light.

There is also a bypass harness that you can buy from the dealer (or us). It usually comes with the Porsche Aerokit since you need to remove the motorized wing when you put it on. Off hand I do not know the harness part #. I know this was mentioned before and you can doa search for the Harness or try searching over at Renntech.org for the part #
