what wing is this?

For my 2007 997 c2

Anyone know what wing this is? I know it says "rinspeed wing" but I can't find it anywhere? Pictures and links?

Also while we're on the subject , anyone got pictures of this Carrera wing installed from nr auto? I can't find it on any other website as well

Thanks!

Thanks!
if you are after better looks for your car without specific need for best on-track performance - consider OEM aero kits porsche makes. I would not really put any aftermarket kits, it is a 997 car, not a honda civic. and if you decide to do a wing - do a front bumper too.

Thanks, I really am not looking for best on track performance. As of now, I am only looking for a wing as I have already made my decision on an OEM GT3 front bumper and Rinspeed side skirts. To balance the car I'm looking for a wing. The GT3 wing is too big for my taste and I don't fancy the techarts much. If I had the option, I love the turbo wing but thats another fabrication issue. Hense, I've researched my way in to these two options.

Did you find out where that "smaller gt2" wing came from? I like it cause it is a smaller version of the GT2. Also, it is different from the techart styled ones. let me know....I am curious.

Thanks

I linked wrong, this is the one i meant to post:

http://www.nrauto.com/product_image.asp?id=315

Maybe that's why it came off wrong, I'm really looking for something unobtrusive.

I have a 07 C2s and got a TT decklid with the spoiler from LA dismantlers for $2,600, and the dealer had no issues with the installation (90 minutes). I have been very pleased.

I have been looking for the same type of wing for my 07 C4S. Stay away from NR. I have read horror stories on this forum. Do your research. Check this wing
