Get a "real one" 
The wing is up in the slip stream air where the down force can be best captured. Need to but some dive planes and splitters up front to balance out this monster.

The above link will get you to their site.the previous link I posted was worthless.
It won't be cheap, but it will plant the car, in addition to the wing, you'll need uprights and the deck

Worked for me....
FYI Dive planes work amazingly well. After knocking off my 993 Clubsport front splitter in a "farming" incident, I ran subsequent laps on a high speed track, just knew the car would understeer on the sweeper, taken full tilt in 4th gear, after a downshift from 5th, the car stuck just fine..I couldn't believe it..it was the Buttonwillow Race #1 with NO Bus Stop CW..it's freaking fast. So Dive Planes may be worth off consideration.
I admit the evasive motorsports wing and required side mounts and deck lid, isn't cheap, but neither is the Getty GT3 RS wing, that sits too low, as some think. I am no aero expert.I just look at what the 996b Cup Cars are running for aero...it aint the RS wing.
To each his own.

Seing these recent pics, that RS wing looks oh so good.
But the lingering doubt about its utility, goes back to when I added a 60" Crawford wing with Gurney flap, tp my 993, along with 993 ClubSport front splitter I picked up 3+ seconds a lap at Willow Springs, and later picked up an additional 1 1/2, ending up with a 1:33.2 For a stock motor, and a 3,250 Lbs, ar, that's a decent time. I truly feel that the wing got me there as it instills so much confidence because the car is planted. Maybe I was fooling myself, maybe I was actually a better driver, I don't believe that for a moment, it was the wing's downforce instilling confidence.
Evidence? When I take the GT3 to the track, lacking a wing, I am slower than the 993, even with 100 more HP. Maybe it's because I won't push the car 10/10th, too valuable a car to me.
Once my allowance stash of cash gets built back up, I'll probably get the Getty wing looks so appropriate. I am not looking for any performance gain s, just want to make people envious.

I don’t trust my ability to drive on the slip angle at 120mph.

Yes the RS wing definitely makes the rear more planted on high speed kinks. At Thill on turn 8 with RS wing just needed to lift throttle and roll on the throttle at exit whereas with stock wing had to brake tap because rear feels loose/squirely at that turn.

So I ordered a Getty top wing and received it last week. The finish on the wing looks good to me, unlike what others have said. It looks nice to me and does not appear to need to be finished or painted. The end plates are just primered so I will paint those satin black then put it on the car and see what the results are on the track. I realize getting it up in the air like the Cup cars will be better but at this point don't want to deviate that far from stock. I doubt I'm a good enough track driver to need that at this point but maybe someday.
Thanks all!
Nick.

I thought FVD sold OEM GT3 RS wing and originally ordered mine from them. However, when I received it I immediately noticed it was Not OEM. They did agree to take it back. That was several years ago. I would make sure you really press them about the wing if you are looking for an OEM GT3 RS wing.

Did you buy Fiberglass or CFRP main blade?
What about the endplates?
