.1 Wing Blade in Carbon?
Debating doing a carbon wing blade on my .1 GT3. Does anyone make a good one? Doesn't look like DB Carbon makes one.

No personal experience with this wing blade, but MA Carbon makes quality items.

I'd guess that DB Carbon may be able to make one if you contact them.
Edit: MA Carbon says GT2 wing blade. Maybe reach out and ask if they can do a GT3 one. Read that too quickly.

I had one on my white .1. Upside none except to say I have carbon. Downside... well it actually weighed more than the stock blade and it made the rear end look like it was missing something. From a distance you would see two white uprights and a blank space in-between them. Maybe it was just on the white but I wasn't a fan of the look. I kept it on due to laziness.

Retracting my comment based on clarification from @Bxstr below - thanks for clarifying.

Don't want to wrongly throw shade on a vendor but is MA Carbon the same outfit as MA Shaw? Asking because I bought 993RS replica front splitters in Fiberglass from MA Shaw years ago. Fitment was a nightmare and the Glasurit paint applied by a very reputable paint shop experienced in Glasurit quickly flaked off. If MA Carbon !+ MA Shaw then ignore my comment, else YMMV.
edit: made a few small changes.

Here’s the one I got from ModBargains. Quality is excellent.

It’s amazing quality from a weave and finish standpoint. Unfortunately there is a small gap on both sides. I will likely remove and maybe put small piece of black stick foam tape as a filler to make it less noticeable. Since it isn’t a race car I’m not gonna let it get to me. I do like the carbon on the white because it’s a nice accent. Also for a fraction of the cost of other ones I’ve seen out there, I’m ok with this fitment.

That's a nice sized gap. Maybe you can get an outline of the side and make a plastic shim for both sides. One another note, is that a blem on the blade and did it come that way?

I had a carbon blade on my old white car and hated the way it looked. However, I was too lazy to reinstall the stock blade plus I also paid for the CF so I had to talk myself into thinking it looked good, when it just clashed with the white. From a distance, it looked like a void empty space. I think any other color except white the CF would work. Then to add more pain, it even weighed more than the stocker.
I don't know if you can call it Rice but it was. Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. I think German cars call it Kraut.
