This is with the extension blocks.

Yea I saw on sharkwerks website there is apparently a lower and higher setting for this wing. So you have it on the highest setting correct?

Also how was the installation and fitment? Did you order from sharkwerks? Did they paint it for you?

Looks like this wing is perfectly fine, hardly any visibility issues.

I guess so. It looks better on the older ones though than the newer model. The newer model looks good with a big wing and some colorful wheels and graphics lol. That's why I really think the RS models look the best.

Yes, I have the extension blocks

I bought it from TechArt directly.

Installation was done by a local body shop who also painted it. Fitment was great. They also painted and installed the front spoiler, which I recommend. I drove to Florida with only the rear fitted. After my return, they installed the front. (Came in damaged is the reason for the delay) Quite a bit of improvement in handling at speed.

When I told TechArt the price, they told me they couldn't even get them painted for that in Ca. Took about 5 hours to do the rear spoiler, maybe 2 for the front.

After the rear install, I drove it to the closest Porsche dealer (about 125 miles) to have it reprogrammed. Only thing I screwed up was go above 75 mph and the rear mechanism lifted the spoiler. Body shop removed the spoiler, lowered the mechanism, disconnected it, and re-installed the spoiler.

Something to remember in case you get one.

I was just going to have sharkwerks paint it for me before shipping it. Then have my porsche dealer install it when my car comes. They will install it for free. But maybe I should see if my dealer would be willing to paint for free.
