GT3 Rear Wing Options
I have been shopping for some alternative GT3 rear wing options.
Option 1 - Exchange rear lid and replace with RS lid and wing ($$$)
Option 2 - Manthey rear wing that attaches to the stock lid ($2,800 plus shipping) GMG Racing
Option 3 - keep as is ($0)
Option 4 - never seen before and not sure the aerodynamics would work.
Has anybody seen the Manthey wing on a narrowbody 997 of GT3? Are there other options? I am primarily looking for some more aggressive optics. I will track the car, however I don't think I'll find a significant difference in the handling as my driving skills aren't good enough to drive on the edge of the envelope.

i would keep it the way it is.
option 1 is too $$, spend it else where.
option 2, your car no longer factory original. i would not put ANY non OEM stuff on it, other than things like jrz, moton, recaro (just as an example)
the stock wing is very nice as i have seen one in person. you will not get much more downforce with the bigger wing. well, if you are as fast as pat long, maybe. but then you should be getting a pay chk from p car and driving them for free and wont be posting here and having fun with us.
save the money, buy lots of tires, pads, rotors.. oh and fuel.

The RS wing might not suit your car. It was made for the wider fendered RS so it'll probably extend beyond your fenders. I'd stay stock for now untill something else comes along that looks better.

Funny how this guy went the other way around with mirrors, black car with silver mirrors.
Non stock wing and wheels, I was almost starting to think that this was a GT3 clone or wanna be.
