Arrow RS Wing, Looking

I’m starting to look for an RS wing. I’m considering a used factory wing, Manthey new/used, and MA Shaw new.

If you are considering letting go of one, please PM me. Any other advice, feel free to post!

I got an IMGT3 wing and if is fantastic. Go look at their website. The wing is a perfect fit and took no longer to install than the time to add the shims. (Under 60 seconds) I think they told me that their wing produces downforce equal to the stock wing with 8 degrees of shim but 0 drag when it is in the flat position. If you add the shims then you get more downforce. They were selling them at the Porsche Parade this year. The price was less than what a used RS wing goes for here on rennlist.

Stick to the OEM and Manthey. All the replicas out there make me nervous when I see their substandard mounts. For the street, maybe fine but at 150+ at VIR you really don't want to risk that sucker becoming detached and then (a) you loose control; and (b) have a flying piece of CF shrapnel for the guy behind you to navigate around.

I second the motion for "mod king" . All in favor......

Scott's biggest problem (it's a good one) is he breathes Porsche all day long when is agonizing through boring meetings and when the mind wanders..........look out mod budget!

You guys!

So the only place I see to buy the Manthey wing is GMG so far….

Gert/Carnewal sells a replica, which I would trust his judgment...
