I'm thinking to change wing soon and I really like this one, also I drive my car through winter time and I snowboard - I need roof rack, anyone know place to buy one?

Just a word of caution... I have had to have my Strosek from PP re-finished and re-painted 3 times in less than two years. The fiberglass was not cured properly and they forgot to drill "vent holes" which allow for expansion and contraction of hot/cold air inside the cavity of the wing. This caused for the paint to move and gave a horrible "rippled" look. Even after my body shop drilled vent holes and re-finished it last year, the paint still moves and the surface of the wing doesn't look great, especially on a black car. My (very reputable) body shop said they may have mixed their fiberglass, especially the curing compound incorrectly.

All that said, this is the best looking wing for a 996T (IMO) and is almost worth the hassle is has been for me.

Why not get a Strosek instead of a knockoff?

I did, it uses the stock mounting points from the rams no modification to the deck lid, normally just run it at the track two bolts and it comes off for normal driving. It actually turned out stiffer than the wing on my race car.
