Check out Techart. However I think all but the Wing I require replacing the rear deck lid.

Thanks Gotta!

That's exactly what I pulled up in my research! Type 1 is pretty anemic, type 3 is real nice! Type 3, doesn't require and entire decklid replacement, just the spoiler and some spoiler motor mods. However, the type 3 is over $3k!

I have the Getty Design "pedestal wing". It only requires replacing the moveable part of the OEM rear wing with the Getty wing base. Looks great and is very easy to install.
Will post pictures later

Ducktail does look real good, but feeling what Hatzenbach has installed!
Techart 3 is real nice too, but for $3,400 before painting, they can keep it!

More details and pics Hatzenbach!!

A few more comments:
The wing was easy to install (took me maybe two hours) including the 30 min to figure out how to remove the "harmonica" on the OEM rear wing (it's totally easy once you figure it out).
What's NOT included is the grille for the twin ducted intake :-(
I got lucky as I had some grille material lying around and the paint shop glued it into the wing base as part of the paint job.
