It's my understanding that TechArt made Type 1 and Type 2 wings, with Type 2 having larger side wings. The TechArt on the silver car had this ID on the under side:

I was asking because my car has the same wing (already installed) but I can't figure out where it's from. Is yours made from carbon fibre? Mine is painted on top but you can see the carbon fibre pattern through the paint and the bottom is just CF.
it could be because it's very light - but was painted silver when I bought it used. it showed up locally on craigslist of all places...

Thanks. I'm still learning. My car has a Techart exhaust (easy to identify because of the plate and it sounds fantastic) and I assumed the spoiler was as well but I'm unsure. It's sounding like it isn't.

Do you remember if it had a Carbon Fibre pattern to it?

Strosek or 997 in my opinion. That "GT2" style upper blade has sharp angled ends that don't match any curves on the 996 body at all.
