Default Cup / Street hybrid decklid

So after some research on the forum, it looks like there's Getty design and Cargraphic that make this product. (So you can run the street airbox, retain the fan, etc. while attaching Cup uprights and rear wing on the outside)

Getty: You can specify Carrera or GT3. Can be had in either FRP or CF.

Cargraphic: Based on the website, looks like they make it for both Carrera and GT3 as well. But when you go to the GT3 section, it does not seem to have the option for using the street airbox. (At least not the picture, but maybe that's just a link/picture error) It does show the option for you to convert your street airbox to the Cup style airbox.

Are there any other options?!

I have the Cargraphic lid that I purchased from Slow, and it works with the stock airbox, fan, etc.

Thanks! I think Cargraphic one is made of FRP, right? I don't believe they have a CF version?

How do you like the fit and finish? Seal with the original airbox okay?

Awesome, thanks!! PM sent!

The issue w/ Cargraphic is that I was told that they can only sell the whole unit, but not just the decklid. So I am not sure about the qualify of the wing itself. (i.e., does it have the exact profile as the Porsche Motorsport wing)

I have the Crawford wing mounted on the Cargrpahic decklid.

Anyone interested?

I was initially thinking of buying the decklid separately, so I can choose which wing to run.. say, OEM Porsche Motorsport wing, for example.

Crawford has good reputation as well, I am sure!

Looks like we have some parallel investigations here.
I've been checking what's available and there are other options.

I need more to get more information.
Some of the options may even be interested in a group buy.

The real Crawford wings were used on the GrandAm cars with taller uprights than the cup cars so the wings worked better and didn't block rear vision.

Some wings and decks may have been fabricated better than others and some used wings may be in poor structural condition.

Apparently some wings have come off on track , bad news - don't know if the attachment failed at the deck or wing.

Definitely keep us posted, Dave.. would definitely be interested to hear your finding too..

Just seems that with the "RS"-style wing being quite expensive nowadays (forget about the OEM RS wing @ $8k+.. Manthey is about $3,300 also), that sort of get me looking into a Cup setup.. ! That's the motivation behind the thread.. !

I took half measures on the last 3: Getty wing/endplates in CF on stock uprights. Their quality was good, fit was perfect if that is any help.

You are talking about "RS"-style wing, right? Wing that bolts on to the stock uprights?

Yes exactly. I was pleased with Getty.
