Funny thing is the wing blade is not adjustable like the GT2 wing With the higher wing rise and the greater tilt angle, it almost seems like an airbrake.

Nice car though, looks fantastic.
The cargraphic wing is indeed slightly different.. I'll show you guys when we do a comparo of James' TT in full GT2 trim later on... The cargraphic wing is about 2 inches taller and tilted futher....

Doh! Ah well I think it'll turn out for the better that way. I just checked the tracking on mine and since it's coming from Cali it looks like I'm going to beat you to it by a day

Fine, fine looking car. I also wondered about the height and at first thought it was the angle of the shot. Would love to see a nice interior shot with GT-3's and some yellow bits.
