Ok guys...just purchased a 997.1 GT3 and would like to go to the GT3RS C/F wing (or similar) so did a search and read the existing threads on how others have done this..but I just don't have the budget to spend 4-8k+ on a wing..I could stomach maybe half that...$2-3k at the max. Am I dreaming? are there other alternatives? From what I can tell the whole rear deck needs to be replaced as well as the wing..correct?

any suggestions would be appreciated

Try MA Shaw:

You will find different option on the market right now. We do offer a RS wing replacement, and we keep the Porsche factory quality. Our prices are not competitive with those manufactures, but you get what you pay for.
I personally don't want anything less than OEM parts quality in my personal car.
We also offer the 2010+ GT3 RS engine lid with 2007 fitment.

 

I think your best bet is to find a used OEM wing. Any real CF wing in the $2-3k range is going to be of questionable quality.

It all depends on how much you value looks vs build quality. I for one, like the 997.1 wing, and would just keep that. Spend the money on racing school or suspension bits. IMO, unless you plan on upgrading more than just the wing, leave it be.

 

Hear what you guys are saying...for the most part you almost always get what you pay for..I'm not that stuck on OEM if the quality is there. Id like to see if somebody had a use factory GT3RS wing..I'm open but would guess they are still out of my price range- I too could sell my existing GT3 rear deck and wing and I'd assuming it would bring decent money- but sort of thought I might want to keep it to return the rear to stock for one day down the road when I want to sell it... the whole reason for the GT3RS wing is purely aesthetic- I just love the way they make the car look (definitely boy racer but in this case I can live with that

I did speak in length to Mike at MA Shaw (the owner) hell of a nice guy...and if I went that route, I'd be under the 3k budget (and that's complete with a C/F wing) Here's a couple of examples of thier wing...honestly I can't tell the difference in style..but Im sure they are NOT of same quality of the OEM



so I'll do a little more homework...weigh my options..and look for that OEM GT3RS to show up..cheap

thanks again for the input!

 

Most guys with RS's keep there tail and deck lid, they like to return them to stock if they sell them.
