No I totally understand man- that's not where I was coming from either. I hope stuff works out for you! This stuff is after all supposed to be FUN Before I started doing this I took my fair share of bumps along the way buying stuff that didn't turn out how I'd planned

LOL! That sort of reminds me of a sign at a roadside furniture store in Shenandoah Virginia that read "WE MAKE BRAND NEW ANTIQUES".

All I can say is the wing I got from Misha fit like a glove, the people that painted it said it was a really nice piece, and I couldn't be happier with the service and attention I recieved from Misha. I liked the fact that I got to keep the original deck lid on, your wing is nice but I personally do not the original GT2 wing I think it sits up to high, Misha took the best part of the GT3 wing and GT2 wing and put them together IMO

ok - that's nice and all but when is somebody going to make something a bit more low key rather vs the GT2 wing? Something subtle, not ricey, like a ducktail for my little ole 996 C2?

I checked on both sites, but couldn't find the duck tail. The closest thing was ERS tailbase, but not the same...

The only thing that will differentiate any knock-off body panels in c/f would be without the use of clear gel coat and polyester resin systems, for which I have yet to see 'real' composite parts. Many of these aftermarket bits are just that, gel coated polyester resin based parts. Most really look nice, but the advantage of c/f parts is weight reduction and increased stiffness. I say c/f as in true c/f without the use of fiberglass as a filler.

I dont feel the market would support 'real' c/f parts, in other words, autoclave cured, epoxy resin, prepreg laminated parts. Simply cost prohibitive to be honest.

Many, including Misha's wings are very nice and of high quality, built within the scope of what the aftermarket will bear.

I love innovative and creative design and the products they produce. I dont like, however, people bad mouthing others hard work and dedication in offering products and more importantly, service that is not found with more and more vendors these days.

Lets stick to positive marketing, it brings the best out of us automotive enthusiasts
