Default 2016 WTB: Manthey or OE RS rear spoiler

Last time this same topic was posted, there was a rear wing that peeked out of the woodwork.

Looking for OE or Manthey quality, would consider other alternatives similar to that (if such a thing exists? Thoughts on GMG quality? Others?)

Taking a chance there may be someone here selling a GT3 returned to stock, or upgrading to a larger Cup Aeroplane.

Thanks in advance for any leads. Would prefer a PM so I don't lose out not being able to react to a public response!

Cheers

Matt

3rd. I've contacted GMG and FVD and while they both "sell" them, they obviously don't stock them and are anywhere from 4-6 weeks to your door as they need to make them. Can somebody make a list of who makes these with quality and price? I've been ready to buy one but the people selling them have not been very responsive. I've also tried to navigate the Manthey page and find one to no avail. Help!!

I'm happy with my Getty deck lid and wing. Pretty much the Cup car setup. I'm not sure if Getty makes a CF wing that bolts to the stock deck lid, but if they do, it's likely a nice piece.

I've tried calling Getty (both locations) about 25 times, they never answer their phone.

They don't answer their phone...they will rarely call back but they respond to e-mails within a reasonable timeline.

I knew I wanted my wing painted body color so I didn't buy carbon. The Getty wing was better than I expected based on other feedback I had heard. Required minimal prep work to be ready for paint...mainly on the end plates.

Friend of mine has their carbon wing. The Gel coat it comes with leaves alot to be desired. HOWEVER he knew this going in and immediately prepped and cleared it and it turned out pretty good looking.

Even Getty won't generally have stock of these laying around, they are made to order. I think the lead time on mine was 3-4 weeks.

I have a GMG Carbon RS wing and is very happy with it. Run it with 8degree shims.
If I remember correctly it was about $2500

I just ordered one from Getty Designs. It will need to be clear coated but I've heard good things about the quality of the actual wing from several people. $1560 shipped to me.
