Default Anyone able to identify this wing on a 997.1 GT3?

I have been searching around here and the web for awhile now and I can not figure out what wing this is. I would like to pick it up since it would make it easy to swap between this larger one and the stock wing on my 997.1 GT3 since it's the stock uprights. Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like a 997.1 gt3rs wing blade but on a gen2 decklid (same as gen1 RS) which is completely different from a gen1 gt3 decklid.

The taco wing and decklid on your 997.1 is all 1 piece

Taco wing is actually 2 piece with the blade sitting inside the uprights, which makes it look like a 1 piece system.

wider’s correct in that it's a hybrid set up with a .1 RS blade on a .2 deck.

Adjustable too, +4 degs and +8 degs from memory.

OP do you need more wing than that or is it for looks?

Looks like a .2 GT3 with those tail lights. So, a stock .2 GT3 decklid with a .1 RS wing. .1 RS and .2 3 have same decklid.

Was looking for a solution for track days for similar to the RS but I like the stock one on the street for sure.

Can anyone recommend a wing solution then? At this stage it sounds like I should just got with the stock RS one but I’ve had problems even finding that.

Somthing looks wrong in original pic. maybe it's the angle of the picture, but doesnt look like its affixed correctly.

OEM 997.1 RS wing is very spendy $$$ - and - not sure what if any data there is on additional downforce over taco wing.

maybe try for an early 997 cup car wing?
