Ahh ... I see ... Think I better spend the money somewhere else first. I do not track my car so the Wing isn't a priority.

The wing is 54 inches and can be made shorter. What do you think?

shorter would be good. Not sure if the width is different between the 996GT3 RS and the 997GT3 tail. The 997 GT3 one I have is very wide, a very big wing which is good for the race car. Just something else to think about.

Yea shorter would be good. The Length of the wing in the picture i have attached earlier in the post is 54 inches. How does 53 - 52 inches look?

Who makes a 996GT3 RS wing? I can't find one. That is what you need to get.

I am talking about the width of the wing (how fat the wing is). It has to be like 8". Its big. I will try and take a photo at work tomorrow.

I like it. I think it looks great! As far as aero goes - you're not competing in Grand Am or the Rolex series, are you? So (assuming) it's not perfectly efficient on your 996. So what.

Who makes it and how much?

Finally! Someone is on the same page as i am. I think the blade is exactly the same as compared to the 996 gt3 rs blade. Only difference is the decklid being a 997 gt3. Betterbodies makes them.
