Default GT2 Carbon Spoiler blade

I'm interested in fitting one of these. I've seen a couple of suppliers of genuine Porsche ones, but prices are 5-6000 euros.
I've spotted this one sold by Pelican, does anyone have an knowledge of these regarding quality and fitment? http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...ec996_pg25.htm

Any others I could take a look at?

Thanks in advance
Steve

I have both the OEM 996GT2 carbon wing and the OEM fiberglass version of it. Both pieces have a perfect fit and finish but the Carbon blade is simply a work of art. With that said, I have the OEM fiberglass version for sale.

BTW, the pelican replica wing you linked above is an aero wing, not a GT2 wing. I would personally skip any of the imitation wings. Just my $0.02

thanks for the feedback, and sporting my mistake with Pelican searching. Looks like I am going to have to bite the bullet on a genuine one.

Looking into it, I got a great offer from Gert at Carnewal, however my local OPC gave me a discount to get very close to his prices. Parts are on order, should take about a week for delivery. Will update with photos and fitting etc.

Fingers crossed, think these will look great with my Seal Grey paint.

latest news: first spoiler arrived at my local OPC this morning, super quick which I wasn't expecting. Bad news it had loads of scratches. I've not even seen it, another has been placed on order. More updates next week.

latest update: replacement spoiler arrived today, as powdrhound said before, they really are a work of art. Fitment was perfect, took about 40 minutes to do the changeover. I'll take it out for a few photos and post them tomorrow. Very happy with the outcome, think the carbon wing fits perfect with Seal Grey paint.

Default Carbon bumper insert

to go with the carbon spoiler, I've now added the carbon front bumper insert.
