Either will work. I'm actually looking for the whole assembly (decklid with wing).

They make all sorts of wings AND an incredible GT3 RS front bumper cover. If you are getting a wing, GT3 RS is the only way to fly...but you need to balance the downforce of the rear wing with a front splitter, or a GT3RS front bumper or some Joe Toth dive place. I'll post up a link later. The dive planes work wonders. Demon Motorsports carries Joe Toth parts.

As I mull over the options, the GT3 RS wing on stock uprights is a great approach. I'd sure add dive planes or a front splitter to balance the car.

I am on the cusp on the GT3 RS wing, about $1,800 just for the wing and end plates in Carbon Fiber, then the wing needs a touch of finish work and some clear coat, another $300 or so.

With the GT3 Factory wing, there are "wedges" that can be used to give you 4 degrees or 8 degrees of down angle on the wing. I'll probably stick with this approach. How Gawd's sake I bought a 60" Crawfor wing from Jae Lee (Mirage International) It need a little finally assembly, maybe $200....came with uprights and end plates too. The question is, does Jae make a GT3 wing?

I ran a RS wing for a couple of years. In my mind the best looking wing on 6gt3. But, not a big improvement on how the car handles when it comes to DF compared to a stock wing.
You will need a bigger wing and more importantly higher uprights to really feel the gain in DF. Balance it with a Joe tooth 2 piece splitter and the it transforms our cars.
My car did a 7.37 (full lap) with me in the passenger seat at the ring. Suspension and aero are the two factors that make the car perform the way it does.

Since I did the initial post, I have been pondering,...pondering, and I must agree. The GT3 RS wing, needs to be bigger and more into the air stream, and the front end needs to be balance with Joe Toth (Great quality/great seller) from splitters.

On my former 993, the 60" Crawford wing with end plates and a Gurney flap, with decent height on the uprights, transformed the car. I also had 993 GT2 front splitters and additional Joe Toth like splitters for balance...good for 2+ seconds a lap...instilled great confidence in the driver (me).
