NR auto GT2 RS wing and side vents

http://nrauto.com/productsdetails.php?tb=R1QyIFdpbmcgOTk3VC85OTcvOTk 3LjIgVHVyYm8=&pid=MTMz&cat=MjQ=&scat=OA==&catn=UG9 yc2NoZQ==&sc=U3BvaWxlcnMg&p=MA==&mi=Nw==&mn=OTk3

Anyone with experience with these 2? I'm sure the vents will be fine unless anyone can point to bad reviews. But for the wing how is the fit and finish? So far NR auto is the only one I have found who can make GT2 RS side vents.

I'm undergoing the same sourcing, and the NR wing will require work to get it to fit well. That said, it's the best one I have been able to find out there.

Not sure about people there. Read some comments that they are best?

I bought the NR Auto front bumper. Quality looks great. I havn't installed it yet but I took it to a body shop and they were impressed.

I just have a bunch of other things I have to pay for and have actually been toying with the idea of selling it.

Apparently NR supplies these wings to Champion all the time? Can Tom or someone from Champion confirm this?

I had a NR wing a few yrs ago, very poor quality and fit.
Personally I wouldn't put all the gt2rs stuff on a turbo s, factory aero looks far better, oem too. Of course I saw an aero 997s with "carrera s gt3" on the tail, just didn't look right.

I think the aerokit looks stupid. But again opinions. But a turbo with a GT2 wing or even parts would look good. IMO the GT2 RS is probably the 2nd best 997 porsche made. The first being a GT3 RS or 4.0.

I mean tiele has OEM front and rear bumpers for 3k total roughly. If the NR auto wing would work, which I still want champion to confirm they use this, it would be a replica GT2 RS for 5k. I wonder what wing Emre uses when he does GT2 conversions.

I also debated just doing aero front lip and GT2 rear wing or vorsteiner rear wing. They just did a lousy job designing the 997 tts aesthetically. The new turbo s looks much better (for example the wing actually goes up more than 1 inch). I want to make it more aggressive. Could also be because my car is black and black hides everything.

Actually here is something I am interested in. People say putting the GT2 wing without the front bumper causes the car to be unstable at high speed. Because the rear has too muc downforce. And even switching to a werks1 lip apparently won't cure it because of spring rates, ride height, and other stuff.

So then how does the werks1 wing with front bumper give balanced aero to a turbo?
