Default GT4 Wing?

Do they not sell the GT4 wing to put on a 981?

be prepared to spend $10k if they even cooperate. This is fairly close, for example http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Caym...pWoXyq&vxp=mtr but for a 987.2.

You can also go with a Getty Design as shown on my 987.

Those look like Ny-Lok nuts. Is there a reason that the bolts are that much longer than necessary? And why did you elect to use flat-head bolts that aren't fitted into countersunk holes to attach the wing itself? To me, they look completely out of place in their application. Just curious.

Do you have a link for this? I just looked on ebay and the replica GT4 wings are all listed for the 981 cayman. Did you just buy the 981 wing and made it work for the 987? This is the only product I found and it does not list this as being for the 987. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FIBER-GLASS-...NXoXEQ&vxp=mtr which seems to be made by this company http://www.kd-aerostop.com/12-15-cay...ing_p6324.html

What I'm guessing is since this bolts directly to the hatch it makes it pretty universal if the hatch angle/slope are similar. Can you confirm if this is what you bought?

here you go:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/282196811530?item=282196811530&viewitem=&vxp=mtr
he is listed as 981 too but he told me the 987 uses different wing base and he is offering me the one for 987, just send me a message, same price as 981 and direct bolt on.

I just installed Jon May's wing on my 987. Looks and feels very well made. Looking forward to track testing it this week.
