I was considering the full GT2 decklid + wing ... for some reason .. just the wing by itself looks a little funny to me ... and does not resolve the issue of the hydraulic rams failing ...

Just do the fixed mount as the GT2 wing looks best in lowered or raised position so u can't go wrong!

Is that the OEM GT2 wing? It looks like it.

The body shop I take all my cars to offered to re-clear it very inexpensively, but I decided to just go back to the OEM wing instead. The big carbon one was just a little to 'boy racer' for my personal taste. I've had people all around me telling me I'm stupid for taking it off because it looked so great, so maybe I'm just boring.
I was thinking of doing the werks aero kit. So the carbon lip, spoiler, and diffuser.
