997 Rear wing - custom made winglets
Hello folks,
Because it was difficult to find a good looking, sturdy and versatile mounting system for the rear wing on my 997 a custom made one came to the rescue.
The requirements for it were quite straight forward:

The requirements for it were quite straight forward:
- easy to mount onto the hinges so that no additional holes are required in the bodywork
- no vibrations, no wiggling
- decoupled from the actual rear wing, so that if I want to replace it with another I can do that without much struggle
- the shape should allow the original electronic spoiler to raise and lower, so there is no need to disconnect the existing system
- no scratching of the paintjob

Where did you get that wing blade from - I like the ingenuity on mounting the supports to the deck lid hinges!
Although why the kink in towards the center as opposed to just going straight up? We're you trying to hit existing mounting points on the wing itself?

The wing is a Jax performance carbon fiber wing.

I was mocking a similar design up with my friends last month. We no longer are proceeding as I just purchased a set of these from radio_on.
I like that I can easy bolt on a wing for track events and take it off when done. I don't necessarily like the wing look for the street so this is the best of both worlds IMO.

Nice work. IMO it would look much better if the supports went straight up.
You could fab up a bracket that bonds/rivets to the wing in those locations. Or call up one of the wing suppliers/manufactures (they are all in China. Alibaba.com) and have them make the mounting to your specs. Then you can sell a full setup.
