I'm traveling now but will find out when I stop by the shop when I get home.
The width of a 997Cup wing is 67". A 996RS wing is 55". Who made your rear deck lid and wing? Getty?

No idea Hound, but I'll find out for us. I know it's far wider than a stock 7.2 Cup though as that was the previous width and it was far too short to allow us to tie the end plates into the diffuser...it's pretty wide back there...

Ever thought about bringing the air up through the hood?

Was the diffuser mounted to a modified stock rear bumper? Can I get one?

What is the weight now?

It was never a consideration for no real reason. I've seen it plenty so it must work to some degree? The car is so low with a huge splitter and the radiators are ducted to evacuate air (remember, it's a factory GT2). There is zero stock about the rear of the car. The diffuser mounts to the chassis and ties into two quarter diffuser sections (three total pieces for ease of access and cheaper to replace when required). Our idea was to offer for sale to help offset the design costs. Restricted to non POC racers just in case this thing actually works. lol Dez, the diffuser is massive with huge overhang and the entire width is tied into the wing end plates for stability. Pipes exit above the diffuser to capture "any" questionable benefit from the blown diffuser concept that was the hubbub a few years ago in F1. We are on the dyno again for final tuning on Monday and should be a solid 650 rwhp with more fuel and boost. It's been awhile since I've seen it and looking forward to seeing the progress. They got the custom Brembo rear calipers yesterday and AP rotors. Hope to be testing soon!

Non POC here. Wont even get over there except a slight chance for NASA nationals at Laguna. VERY slight. And even then time trials.

Did you buy and aftermarket rear bumper cover?

The entire back end is custom, hard to describe. Let me see where they are on Monday and try to get you some pics. I suspect the rear bodywork is yet complete as it's not needed at this point to tune the AEM.

Thanks! Have not driven this thing yet so no experience with the CAE shifter. Have heard nothing but great things though and want to test the car out with the stock GT2 box but it's just a matter of time before a sequential crash box goes in...
