big obnoxious rear wings... i want one
can someone (preferably a machinist) fabricate me some sort of huge CF wing for my car ?
something like the gt3 rs maybe
or maybe fiberglass, and i'll have it painted silver

I really like this one. Would buy it if I was located in US.

Steve,
What about just adding the GT2 add-on? Or... you can buy my TA type 1
Not obnoxious but gives it a nice slightly more aggressive look.
For me, a big wing needs to have a big body kit to accompany it.

It is a werks composites.
Do 997 wing posts have the same interface/size as 996 wing posts folks? We may have a winner here. :-)
Steve, you have great taste.

MA Shaw.
I just had a Carbon Fiber decklid, GT3 side panels and Carbon Fiber top wing (55") done with GT3RS side blades. Came out great! It was somewhere in the 3,XXX range I think when it was all said and done. Got rid of the factory hydraulic, but at the same time some of the weight that went along with it as well.

Guys...decklid, wing, and the connection(s). From a former machinist (me), would not be that hard to do...it all depends on what wing would make you happy.
Generic ebay wings....
Getty design wing (ala Tom Kerr)...
Hence my wtb for a decklid.
I even had a simpler idea, hear me out on this guys, take the old stock wing (I have mine lying on my basement floor...have a tech art type 1 on the car used form a member here for cheap...some minor scratches...nice, but not a BIG OBNOXIOUS TRACK wing
)...cut that and get the interface to the stock 996TT off of it.
Epoxy that to another wing of my choice. My only concern is the interface:
1. plate to bolt an adjustable unit to...functional but ugly....this would have one of those criss cross units you see on Honda's pushing their fwd car down in the back taking traction off the front...
plane like the mashaw unit with some form of flexibility more sophisticated, but costly
fixed and glued (strongest) but not adjustable
My real question is just how adjustable does it really need to be? I am not a super track guy (yet)....
