Default RS Wing on a Regular GT3?

How difficult/costly would it be to put the RS rear wing on a regular 997 GT3?

Probably easy to do but I'm sure expensive. I'd do it though, not to thrilled with the stock GT3 wings look.

For the 997 GT3 RS wing you need the RS deck lid too.

The 996 GT3 Cup rear spoiler from Carnewal
Includes the GT3 uprights, wing element, decklid and installation hardware.
Price : 4.475 Euro Shipping included.

I would say that the cost would be similar or higher for the 997

Why bother????

I would do it mainly for cosmetic reasons.. I think the RS spoiler looks much better.
Not sure if there is an aerodynamic benefit or not...
Probably not much if there is anyway.

Good point Jeff. Unlike the 996, the 997 has a body width diff b/t the non-RS and RS models.

My plan exactly. I'll let you know once I investigate. The price should also reflect the fact that you can sell the GT3 wing to a standard 997 driver.
