GT2 wing

the price it found on the gt2 wing for my 996 cab is 4800 for all the 12 parts to the wing (this is from porsche). does anyone know where i can get the wing at a better price, or if anyone knows of a way i can buy an aftermarket wing that looks identical to the gt2 wing. thanks

www.anzianos.com Talk to Bob himself. (714)979-7040. he does great work. Tell him James from NC sent you. I have no affiliation with him. He just does great work at a great price. For a while he was supplying dealers with his GT-2 wing b/c of some of the problems the stock wing was having (failures!)

There is no actuator on the GT-2 wing. It is manually adjustable. What fails is the support intake wall at the leading edge. It is VERY thin here with a small cover over the edge. It is a bad design by Porsche when you consider the stresses of holding a large wing. Anyway, the 04 is supposed to be beefed up in this area. As far as I know, there are no reported catastrophic failures but the crack propagates and everyone with a problem has been getting them replaced under warranty. I think it has been mostly the inner edge on the right and left.
