Any list or site with alternative fixed wings?

So I have the dreaded "Spoiler failure" symptom. Likely because of fluid loss. There is a hack to fix this I know but I'd like to also explore a fixed wing.

Is there a list or has someone compiled a list of optional or after-market fixed wings? Preferably with pics?

If you have a fixed wing and you like the look of it, please post a photo and procurement details (vendor, price) [not sure if that's kosher or not].

I have found the fuse to disable the spoiler in the up position (Row D, Fuse 7) but I've decided that while the raised position looks good from the side and from the rear, from other angles, it's not my cup of tea. By the way, pulling that fuse also disables the solenoid that opens the engine "hood" (engine compartment lid).

Contact f1crazydriver. He has info on some fixed cylinders that are very inexpensive and look oem. He started a thread with pics on his car.

Yes, I've seen that mod. Like I said, I do like the look of a raised stock spoiler from the side and from the back, but I wanted to explore aftermarket fixed wing options. For example, a GT2-look wing--how much could that set me back and what's a good source.

I use the GT2-look spoiler just as an example. I'm not sure that I want that *exact* look as it may be too aggressive a look for me and I wouldn't want to be thought of as a poseur.

We offer a GT2 Replica wing. Our is an amazing quality exact replica with full pitch adjustability. Our spoiler is also unique in that it is made to fit the 996TT perfectly since ours is made to work with the standard 996TT fan. The real GT2 spoiler and some replicas require you to purchase a GT2 fan from the dealer.

Let us know if you have any questions. We have specials for 6speed members.

I do like the Aerokit look!

Also someone PM'ed me about whether or not pulling the fuse will also disable the spoiler failure warning. The answer is NO. While removing the fuse will stop the spoiler from going up and down, the failure warning will still come on if you exceed 120Kmph (or whatever that is in mph (75?)).

I am researching some ways of disabling the warning and I think I found a hack involving shorting a couple of pins in the spoiler wiring. I will try that a report back.

Hmm, mine leaked the fluid so I unhooked the power to the little motor in the spoiler assembly (right side). I do not get an error when i go above 74 at all.
