Carnewal RS Rear Wing
I just ordered a RS rear wing from Gert. There were some issues due to the US dollar and the Euro volatility. These issues were worked through with no shouting or bad feelings. Gert is great to do business with as well as a gentleman. In todays world it's increasingly difficult to find someone sensitive to the customers needs. To Gert, thanks again.

Zo6,
To be honest, I purchased the wing for its astetic value. I'm sure at moderate to high speed this wing will provide more downforce and lateral stability than the OE wing. I haven't heard from anyone that has first hand experience as to possible advantages. It would be interesting to get their feedback in reference to the RS wing preformance impressions.

Ray, I'm thinking about getting the wing for the same reason you did. How much did it cost you with shipping, etc? You can PM me if you like. Thanks.

Holger,
Call DEVEK. Due to the dollar being so bad right now. Otherwise Gert is great. I got a bunch of stuff from him like 6 months ago when it was more "economically advantageous". Ask for Austin.
I recommend them so much I should get a kick back from them by now

the CF wing from gert really looks fantastic on the car -- super improvement over the stock wing... which has always looked to me as if Bangle somehow got drunk with the designer who listened...
Gert's has the factory wing which quality is superb, but about $3K... you can't believe how cool it looks until you see it on the car....

they're on the car... briefly. sounds titz at idle and low rev, but run it to 8200 over and over and sounds like a '58 Dodge Power Wagon stuck in the mud [this is merely a figment of my brain for illustration purposes -- do not, i repeat do not, write a response telling us how different reality is].
but 50# saved with no exhaust is nice... Joe says his Catbypass pipes $550/set and Maxflo mufflers $995/set are quiet and light, but don't have the wieght...from him yet.
car has 787 miles, time to sell it
