Thanks! It took me a loooong time to find the right setup I was looking for. Functional but at the same time fits the aesthetic aspects of the 997. I think the shop that built this for me nailed it and one of a kind to as you can't really find these Vorsteiner style decklid/wings anymore for the 997 turbos.

I remember seeing your posts earlier when you first showed the car and thinking what a great job you had done improving the car without junking it up.

I am sorry to hear they are not available anymore - to the OP, if you want to match that look maybe there's a market out there...

Thank you Ed.

For full clarity, I believe you can still get the decklid/wing but they will need to custom make it. Even then, will need to get a local body shop to custom fit it, sand/prime it and paint. Not sure of the shop who is making it but you can contact JL Motoring to get details. Here's link to how I found them.

If you can modify it to look more like the Vorsteiner's height and angle of attack, you would have an impressive and not ordinary wing without going too much over the top.

Sums up my thoughts too...especially the angle of attack. It's just too "different" than anything else on the road and imho detracts from the legendary lines of the 911.

I think the height is a little much, prefer my GT2RS clone...

NR Automotive used an OEM GT2RS wing / deck lid to make their mold and produce high quality Carbon Fiber parts. The fit was perfect just needed sanding and paint. You need to contact them for pricing, they also made my CF side intakes as a package deal.

My CF front lip completes the look I was going for as well as adding downforce at the track.
