The source of the fire was a tire failure that resulted is some rubber coming in contact with the exhaust. The car sat for several minutes off track before the fire started, which is part of the reason that it got out of hand.

GWIT996F, the *** end on your car looks great with those taillights and the color matched bumperettes! At the very least, I need to do those bumperettes soon. It really cleans the rear end up on these cars.
Thanks Flat6! I like the GT2 front bumper mod on yours!!
The GT2 deck/wing looks fantastic, but it sounds like you want something more track focused. In that case I'd go with the RS wing or go big with a 63" blade like I see some here have.
I currently have a GT2 style blade on the stock uprights and it looks good but doesn't provide the DF I want on the track. I just bought an RS style (not real) deck/wing with adjustable uprights to replace it. I haven't put it on the car yet but I'll be running it next season. Just by looking at it you can tell it's more serious than the gt2 setup.
Go big or go home IMO.

TrillyPop... So the wing and the deck lid are Getty, but you used stock GT3 RS uprights? They fit with no issues? The angle of the wing is adjustable?
Sorry, should have been more specific. Uprights are from Demon Motorsports, not factory RS. The Getty uprights are short and makes wing sit well below roof line. These have a bunch of adjustment holes so pitch is very adjustable.
Based on his post, I'm pretty sure the OP is looking for a track wing and not a street wing. The Getty 63" wing is the only real option out there. With the right prep, quality of the decklid is on par with OEM and the wing is close to it. A great product overall which doesn't break the bank and does legitimately work. I wouldn't put it on a street car but for a track car it's really the only functional option and I actually think it looks pretty decent. The decklid air intake design uses ram air to "pressurize" the airbox at speed which certainly can't hurt. Great product overall. I would get the decklid in FRP and the wing in carbon. I added an OEM 997Cup gurney flap for a little more DF.
