the wing and uprights are real..... the deck is aftermarket and accepts the cooling fan and latch..... previous owner used only saftey pins to close the deck on previous gt3 street converted to CUP.

the factory tail lights inside the body require slight trimming around gaskets to allow deck to close with wing.

This is a win win win!

The car will accelerate, brake and corner better.... weight loss in THE best way to improve a 911's performance.

I would recommend more side protection, perhaps have someone weld a side bar onto the roll cage (exactly what Porsche did when it entered the 2010GT3RS in the 24 NR race).
