Time to change things up. Largest GT Style Wing available for 996?

Its time for me to change things up a little bit. I'm going to take off and sell my Misha 911 GT2M wing and swap it out for something bigger. I'm looking for something big. I found a Zerosun wing but it seems too expensive for something I know very little about. Any suggestions on a huge wing would be appreciated. The GT3 RS is okay but I don't like the solid pedestals. A 997 GT3 RS wing would be cool but I don't think that works or anyone makes a conversion. My car is seal gray for those who care. Also if anyone is interested in the MISHA wing let me know. Its painted extremely well and in mint condition. Attached is a picture of the zerosun wing.

Wow, that's quite a wing!

send apic of your wing I think the 996 GT3RS wing look superb, but need the real one .. expensive...

seriously? do you understand how ridiculous that wing will look on a street car?

^ +10000000000000 Thats just fugly

Getty design makes a reasonably priced GT3RS wing. That's about as "rediculous" i would go with a street car. The 996 GT3RS carbon blade looks awesome.

Here are some pictures of the wing on my car as is.

Also to the people that think its ugly. I'm not asking for your opinion on what it will look like or if you like it. I am not looking for anyone's approval so please keep the ugly comments to yourself. You have no idea what I'm going to end up doing to my car so don't hate, just be helpful. Thanks

@dead-eye I like the 996 GT3RS wing but don't like the solid pedestals. I like the cut out ones. I think it looks more aggressive. Thanks

I used 2 have a Misha GT2 wing. It's a nice piece for sure. If you feel the need 2 switch it up for the sake of style, I would go GT3 (Aerokit 2) or 996 GT3 RS and call it a day. If you've got some coin to drop, RUF RGT RS is an option. They take the awesome ductail and add on a carbon blade. http://www.rufregistry.com/car-detai.../?&open=3&c=36

In that case, the 996 GT3 cup car wing is what you're looking for. You can get it with the GT3 script cut out in the pedestals. Alternatively you can have a local machine shop make a set of "trellis" style pedestals for you a la 997 RSR i believe something like this then... Gert at carnewal or any porsche shop here should be able to order it for you. You can probably order yourself from suncoast as well.

Dont want peoples opinions? Dont post something ridiculous like this...pretty simple.

I don't know what's going on with you CDLVancouver but this is a helpful forum. With people who help each other. So chill, be cool.

From the profile pic of your 996, the drop and side skirts and wheels look good. The current wing seems a bit out of place, but it is a quality piece. I think a nice blade and pedestals would look OK, but you would definitely have to go with a whole new deck lid. Does MA Shaw have any other wings in their inventory that would work for you? Or get something custom that resembles an RS wing.... A MK2 Aero wing would be a standard complement to what you currently have, but it's pry not what you are after. Yea, some guys are gonna hate, but take the good with the bad, you don't need to respond to the negative comments. Remember folks, he's in SoCal; hot tamale! Your list of rides is quite interesting... BTW, what's up with the ROLEX beemer?

Not sure of the brand but this one looks pretty sweet!

? ok philip. last i checked people could offer opinion on here. you cant take opposing opinions?!?! if not then i think your then one that needs to "chill" dude. so heres my further opinion on this...that this ranks right up there with the lambo door mod 996 in chicago that made the rounds last summer. that huge wing is something youd see on a civic or an acura. are you going to plaster all those stickers on your ride too? i really do fear for the model when mods like this are becoming more frequent. like the 22" spinners, carbon fibre hoods, lowered, underbody lighting etc etc. whats next, something like this?: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_25148-P...arga-1974.html you think thats hating? no...just my opinion. dont hate on me for expressing it dude.

Then if I were you CDLVancouver be scared. Because these cars are becoming more and more affordable and I'm seeing it more and more. Way to flip it on me man. Like I'm the intolerant one? Haha Either way I'm not taking crap from anyone in a cab. Purist? Not in a cab.

philip youre awesome dude.

@2K3TTMIA What would you like to know about the bike? I spent about 5 years searching for this particular bike. I wanted the LWB for stability and it was only made for about 6 months. I also wanted it in factory silver, which is a rarer color to find. I also wanted one with the optional toaster tank. I also wanted an original survivor bike. Tough find but worth the wait.

Hey Phil, http://www.kognitiondesign.com/ I believe this is what you're looking for. I would've told you earlier today, but I forgot the company name. It was recommended to me by a few serious track rats at Buttonwillow (who do not think my wing is serious enough.) They can make custom risers and you can opt to use the getty design decklid.. or fabricate a serious chassis mounted riser (the right way to do it)

honestly i LOVE the look of this wing setup and have been itching to find a nice 997 gt3-rs style lid for my turbo at the end of the day who gives a **** about what someone else does to THEIR car. you dont own it and you cant control what other people think or want to do to their MASS PRODUCED CAR

burning ears All I have to ask is one thing how many track days do you put in per month what are you looking for when it comes to aerodynamics - what is being limited now why dont you have anything up front (and sorry if I just cant see it) have you without some seats and a harness are you really getting all the corner speed you can get without going to an extreme wing - car still looks pretty stock, you could loose a ton of weight and be miles ahead on corner speeds lastly - do you want everyone to call your name everytime there is a "I want a bigger wing" thread? that's the only question I have!

OP, nice bike! retro and very useful. as ivangene mentioned, if you dont have any front aero, you will experience an imbalance at high speeds; search for the front Aero Cup splitter. it attaches to your current bumper quite easily and will compliment the rear aero alot better. IIRC, the OEM front splitter is Poly, so it gives a little. this one that another RL member has a thread on ( FRP)\

Welcome fellow Air head. I've been through a LWB '73 R75/5 and currently looking to do something crazy with my current '80 R100(aka Ritmo Sereno style) analogous to what you want to do with your car. I find it interesting that you really wanted to look for a very particular and stock bike, yet you are willing to switch up your car. Regardless, be prepared to have every teen and every guy with a semi-fast car or tall ego wanting to race you at every stop light. Are you planning on getting an aggressive front and rear end to compliment the wing?

Hey Philip, I am in the middle of replacing my mrk1 GT3 wing/decklid. Body work and paint should be finished today. I went with a Getty cup decklid and 55" wing. Getty also has a 63". I bought my uprights from RL member Ed Baus. He has a couple of sizes, Grand am and roof height. I went with roof height. I am in OC so if you want a look, please PM me and we can work something out. Best, Eric

Eric post some pics once the wing install is completed.

Chassis mounted front splitter. Can be custom made to order. https://www.facebook.com/waspcomposites

@Ivan I see about 3-5 track days a year in this car but plan on more next year. I have GT3 Euro seats already for the car and a roll cage from GMG. Not that I have to defend myself, but I do need to change my front to match the rear. But I have what I want to do in the front decided. And if people want to call my name on the thread, I will be more than happy to assist with whatever information I have. @2K3TTMIA Thanks for the kind words on the bike. Yea, I got something brewing in the brain for the front. I'll keep you all posted on that. @Alpine003 Good to see that people recognize the LWB when it comes to airheads! I do dig the Ritmo Sereno style bikes a lot. Cool stuff. I'm willing to do this to the 996 since there are tons of them. The LWB is a rarity. @mcipseric Eric, would love to check it out. Please let me know where and when, I will be more than happy to drive down to take a look at chit chat.

Not sure why you're compelled to get a Cup wing for a car that isn't anywhere near full time track duty; none of the aero stuff will make much difference in double digit speeds. GT2 wing makes ~17lbs of downfore at 120mph. Seems like GT3 wing would fit the bill in your case.

Becasue it looks cool? I have to admit I am with him I would love a GT3RS carbon wing on my silver car with the aluminum struts as well.

A wing that big should come with a flight attendant. Nice, but she'll account for more force on the rear wheels than the wing. Some of the recent flight attendants look almost elderly. Will be hard to contact the wing mfr to ask them how to stop that shrieking sound you get when you drive hard.

Your just about ready for the fast an furious sequel.

http://mashaw.biz/wingsandtailbases996.asp That looks like what you want. He makes a 997 GT3 Rs style wing in 55" and a larger size. He also has a bunch of other designs... I personally think a wing compliments the body lines of a 911 very much so. As long as you have some front aero you should be fine. The huge one in the picture shown before IMO will look out of place on a street car. I'm actually planning on getting that same GT3 RS style wing. http://mashaw.biz/996GT3withRS.asp direct link <<

what is the asking price for the wing u have now? (i haven't a clue, but looks really nice)

@lingpoen I have no idea what its worth. I believe its the Misha GTM wing not the GT2M after looking on their site. It is painted Seal Gray and was done very well and is in excellent condition. Anyone chime in with a price? @ccaarmerciill Yea I think I will have to go MA Shaw. Or Getty Designs. Same stuff I believe.

@lingpoen Seems like $1000 would be a fair price.

If you're going to put a big wing on there like that, might as well put a big engine in the car to go along with it. Something like an LS7.

You gonna do a roof scoop as well?

what are you planning for your car ? have you thought about a GT2 deck lid ? i wanted something bigger after i got bored with my techart so thats what i went with, looks pretty big on a street car without being crazy big and looking out silly
