Default GMG World Challenge (WC) 997GT3 Carbon Wing Blade/Carbon Wicker

Thougth I had sold this item (off forum) but buyer ended up buying a different car so he changed his mind...

This is last item left from my 997 GT3. Never got around to installing it after buying it from another forum member. Its in great shape as per photos below.

Price New $2,000

Last week asking $1,100

New Asking Price $ 950!


Here's description from GMG website:

GMG introduces its 997 GT3 Carbon replacement rear wing. Designed and tested on our 997 GT3 this is a direct replacement rear wing which is 50% lighter over the stock wing and is made of full carbon. Direct replacement part with a reinforced cord this wing will not deflect at speed. Mounts using factory hardware simply unbolt your existing wing blade and replace with the GMG carbon wing blade.

Fits all 997 GT3 Models

PM me if interested. Thanks.

I'm going to assume that you're not pulling my leg so I'll answer the question straight up...

GMG is a high performance sports car tunning facility located in Southern California with full range of products/services from engine performance tunning to aerodynamics enhancements. Here's the general link as well as the Prosche link on their website:

Thanks for looking.

I highly doubt Robert is pulling your leg. Mr. Carbon/Titanium himself is responsible for some of the most wicked motorsport parts you'll ever see.

Thanks everyone for your interest. The carbon wing just sold.

Robert GMG races World Speed challenge and is a dealer of aftermarket stuff that they test during racing.
john Sonafrass is the main racer and co owner. Fabryce is the other co owner. They make some VERY nice stuff. i had the spoiler on my GT3 also. they are in SoCal and are at GMGRACING.com
They tune cars too. I dont know if they are on the same playing field as you. But they are pretty close.
I would die for something from you but knowing your schedule I have refrained from asking.

CWAY 27 & OG thanks for context on Robert's background.

Hey Robert if/when I venture back into the owning a track ready GT3 or other comparable ride, look forward to learning more about your "wicked parts" that CWAY 27 was referring to...

Nat research some of Roberts Posts. If you want to see some museum pieces he has posted some of the best pics EVER posted on RL. I would call it a historical archive of some of the most artistic Carbon Pieces ever created for Porsche and Porsche motorsport.
You may have to go back to 06 or further. I look at them every month or so.
(I dont have a link though)

Hey Nat, look over on the 964 forum, Robert has a sticky on top about his work of art. His project is called humpty dumpty and it started on a one off car called America GS.

I do not think I have met a Porsche guy that did not at least know of GMG. Anyhoo, their roots are in racing. I think, not sure, they have about half dozen cup teams with the possibilty of increasing that number next year. They have one of the biggest and nicest tuning facilities that I have ever seen for a basically one brand facility, however, they do tune Audi's, BMW's, and most exotics.

Pretty much every modification I have either was made by GMG or I had GMG install and tune for me. Great company!

In fact I am thinking about buying your CF blade!

Robert is a VERY focused engineer. He is so buried in motosport that I can see how he would not know about GMG. On top of that GMG has made some very big moves in the last two years and at the same time Robert was dealing with some private issues that have consumed more of his focus. Not only those two issues but he is so distinguished that his services are sought in so many different industries that he is pulled in many different directions. He is the one Porsche guy I could see that would miss the ascension of
GMG motorsport.

Well said Paul. If you think Mr. Seinfeld has wicked cars tailored by Porsche just for him, you should search for Robert's car. Most don't even have a clue such car was ever produce by porsche.
