I've been contemplating getting a new rear wing with spoiler setup on my car. Attaching picture on how it looks now with the Techart wing. I'm looking for dual benefits, better downforce on the track and better cold air for my intakes from the side and top inlets. I always felt the GT2 wing looked sort of droopy on the 997 turbos and going to a GT3 wing was too big/disproportionate for the car. I ended up finding this vorsteiner style rear lid/wing. Almost a cross between a GT2 lid and GT3 wing. Have any of you used this kind of wing before? I found a shop that can make it. The picture of the black car is mine and included picture what it would look like on the car.

I think the Vorsteiner wing looks great. Actually wanted to get one for my TT but they had just stopped making them so I went with a GT2 decklid instead. Don't think it looks as good tbh. As you said, the design is very similar to the .1 GT3RS wing with GT2 ram air intakes so it should be functional. Interested to hear who can make them.

Little update on the wing. Just got it in from being shipped. First impression is that it's pretty well made. They went through great efforts to ensure the underside components of the decklid matches a turbo. Example I can use my current decklid air intake portals versus fabricating something for the typical GT2 style lid. The wing and caps are made of quality carbon fiber, no issues or imperfections. One thing is that the decklid is rough and will need a good bit of sanding/cutting holes in spots so the original turbo hardware can fit in appropriate spots but I expected that. I think it's going to look perfect on the car and will post pictures once it's finished. For now here's some pictures of how it currently looks.

Getting primed for paint today. Should be finished by end of week.

Went to the body shop today. Here's some pictures. It's really dirty and there's still some things we need to do. Have to replace 3rd brake light, original one cracked trying to get it out. I'm also going to have them spray the wing end cap bolts black so they don't stand out against the carbon.
Question, do you think I should replace the turbo emblem or leave it off?
Fitment is pretty good, they had a tough time getting the curvature to fit right on the bottom part.
Let me know what you think. I'll post better pictures once it's cleaned up. Probably be next week.

Thanks. The body shop plugged the holes with those rubber stoppers. I didn't want exposed holes in the decklid disrupting air flow, etc.

Looks good. I've got a lot of carbon bits on my car. Front splitter, mirror caps and now rear wing. My next step after this is to carbon fiber wrap the hood. This will start to match the front splitter, hood and now wing.

I picked the car up today from the body shop. Here's final pictures. I think it turned out pretty good!

The previous owner put the GT3 grill or smile as they refer to it on the front bumper. I've replaced the carbon piece with a new one as the previous one got chipped up. It looks like it was cut out underneath. I believe there is a GT3 smile template that someone sells where you can cut out the dimensions in your front bumper and then insert/bolt on the carbon piece.

Freaking love that wing. So is that a replica of Vorsteiner? I love the scoops on the gt2 wing, but love the looks of the gt3rs wing. So this just a perfect hybrid of both. Mind if I ask how much you got it for?
