Man that is damn evil!!!! Where did you get RS tail and is it just the top wing part to install or the whole lid and all. All you need is some bypass pipes and off to the track : ). Mike

Beautiful! Can we get some interior shots, please? Also, what wheel/tire combo? (Look like kinesis wheels, but I'm not sure.) Again, beautifully done.

Larry, awesome!! You can "thank" your son for the opportunity to make your ride that much more "evil"

If looks counted, you'd be 2 seconds a lap faster anywhere you went!

Enjoy (and keep her pointed down the track)!

Larry-
Nice pics, black and white at it's best.

Would you report on the handling at the Glen for us? I wonder if the rear spoiler needs to be matched with the RS front bumper cover (with it's up venting center radiator) in order to balance the lift reduction front and rear.

Larry

Is the wing Porsche or aftermarket?

Also do you know if they did any wind testing on a GT3 with the new wing attached?

Thanks

Thanks for all of the positive feedback. I will give you a report on how it works at the Glen. The wheels are Fikse FM5s 9x18 & 11x18 with stock offsets. It is a factory RS wing, and yes the wind tunnel tests prove that it is really cool


and by the looks and shape of it, it will generate more downforce.

Default wing insert

The wing looks great on the car! Will the GT3 wing inserts to change the angle of the wing work with this RS wing as well?

Thanks!

I purchased the wing from Hershel at Cargraphics, and yes it adjusts just like the standard GT3 wing, using the 4 or 8 degree shims from Carnewal.

Larry -how do you adjust wing with shims? Is it easy? And did you buy both shims or it's just a adjustable pair? So original wing w/o shims cannot be adjusted if I'm correct? Regards. Mike
