Default Time to change things up. Largest GT Style Wing available for 996?

Its time for me to change things up a little bit. I'm going to take off and sell my Misha 911 GT2M wing and swap it out for something bigger.

I'm looking for something big. I found a Zerosun wing but it seems too expensive for something I know very little about.

Any suggestions on a huge wing would be appreciated. The GT3 RS is okay but I don't like the solid pedestals. A 997 GT3 RS wing would be cool but I don't think that works or anyone makes a conversion.

My car is seal gray for those who care. Also if anyone is interested in the MISHA wing let me know. Its painted extremely well and in mint condition.

Attached is a picture of the zerosun wing.

Getty design makes a reasonably priced GT3RS wing. That's about as "rediculous" i would go with a street car. The 996 GT3RS carbon blade looks awesome.

Also to the people that think its ugly. I'm not asking for your opinion on what it will look like or if you like it. I am not looking for anyone's approval so please keep the ugly comments to yourself.

You have no idea what I'm going to end up doing to my car so don't hate, just be helpful.

Thanks

@dead-eye I like the 996 GT3RS wing but don't like the solid pedestals. I like the cut out ones. I think it looks more aggressive.

Thanks

I used 2 have a Misha GT2 wing. It's a nice piece for sure. If you feel the need 2 switch it up for the sake of style, I would go GT3 (Aerokit 2) or 996 GT3 RS and call it a day.

If you've got some coin to drop, RUF RGT RS is an option. They take the awesome ductail and add on a carbon blade.

In that case, the 996 GT3 cup car wing is what you're looking for. You can get it with the GT3 script cut out in the pedestals. Alternatively you can have a local machine shop make a set of "trellis" style pedestals for you a la 997 RSR i believe

something like this then...



Gert at carnewal or any porsche shop here should be able to order it for you. You can probably order yourself from suncoast as well.

From the profile pic of your 996, the drop and side skirts and wheels look good. The current wing seems a bit out of place, but it is a quality piece. I think a nice blade and pedestals would look OK, but you would definitely have to go with a whole new deck lid.
Does MA Shaw have any other wings in their inventory that would work for you? Or get something custom that resembles an RS wing....
A MK2 Aero wing would be a standard complement to what you currently have, but it's pry not what you are after.

Yea, some guys are gonna hate, but take the good with the bad, you don't need to respond to the negative comments.




Remember folks, he's in SoCal; hot tamale!

Your list of rides is quite interesting...

BTW, what's up with the ROLEX beemer?
