It shows a different wing being installed however the installation is the same for the 996 duck tail.

If it has a fan built in do I just disconnect my electric stuff and plug it in?

Here are some rear shots, keep in mind we are still block sanding, filling gaps and getting things right.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

We are designing a smaller version of the ducktail that is better proportioned to the narrow body 996. This wing will bolt on to the original factory deck lid. We will have it available in a few weeks. Check us out at
www.gt3tek.com
We will have more pictures at the end of the week we are still working on the details. We will have an introduction price just under seven hundred and regular price should be just under nine hundred. We did make several changes and a couple were the length we wanted the wing to fit in the hollow slot were the pop up spoiler fits and we did not want it to high with the vertical wall we also made it shorter than the original because we did not want to add a third brake light.
We also have a small version that fits on the existing pop up spoiler and is much more affordable at 267.00 here is a link:
http://gt3tek.com/products/gt3wing.htm
Designing and manufacturing is very expensive however we still try to keep prices way below our competition.
I agree with others that wider is better...and do you think you will have one that fits the C4S? Also, since it is going to fit on top of the factory decklid, do you have a picture of it with the factory deck lid extended?
-Eric
The wing is going to fit in the cavity where the pop up spoiler used to be. In order to fit our duck tail you will need to remove the pop up spoiler first then fit the new wing in the hollow area of the deck lid.
I have a few questions, is it going to be tall enough to block the 3rd brake light? Are the vents on top gonna be functional and are they gonna have screens? I have a 99, am I gonna need a harness for the indicator light? Is it gonna be possible to get a better price if we get a group buy going? Do you have more pictures of the same angles you just posted except farther away to see what look it gives the overall to the car?
I don't understand this. Every photo posted makes it look different. The second photo makes the spoiler look the best with the most potential. When I saw that one I thought it just needs to be a little bit wider and we have a winner. Those last two photos make the spoiler look way too small, out of place, almost like it was made for a different car. I'm actually at a loss for words. Sorry, but I hate it.
I agree. It should overlap the lid to make it wider. That way your goal of keeping in the oem spoiler location would work while giving it a wider profile to please the crowd.
+1 take a look at the turbo spoiler for what trendy is talking about, it hangs out over the top of the rear lights, partially obscuring them. Otherwise, looks like a very fine mod.

Here's another vote for more pics, preferably of the entire car. One straight on from the back, another from the side. I like the ducktail idea, and it really like the way the 2011 sport design tail looks. I'm hoping this could put that look on a 996.
Not a fan. Looks small but then again I'm a big fan of the "oversized" Spoilers Porsches are known for, so I'm biased to say the least.

We now have the 996 duck tail available, we include the factory 997 GT3 plastic grills and come mounted. The introductory promo price will be less than $600.00 for the first ten wings and includes free shipping in the lower 48 states. Regular price will be a little over 800. The "catch" per say is that we would really like the photos of your new wing on your car when finished for promos, thus the discount for your valuable time. We also appreciate your feedback on it. Please let us know if your an interested party in this mutually beneficial promo.
To each his own, right? I think it's hideous. But, I also think that if somebody wants to put it on their car then they should! We all have our own opinions. I would be worried about fit and finish though. Aftermarket parts sometimes require significant work from a local body shop to complete the proper look.
Ok guys. Here they are. The 996 duck tail does come with GT3 air induction openings and we provide OEM GT3 grills on them already pre-mounted. Hope you really like it.

Any pix of the wing mounted? The original pix look like the wing is on a 997.
How does this mount? Is it permanent mount? Do I need to drill holes into my rear deck (after removing the current pop up wing?).
Wondering how hard it is to swap the original wing and this ducktail back and forth (for when I go to the track since we don't know the aerodynamics of this ducktail)
My last question would be any problems with cooling? The vents look kind of small? Mine is mid 99 will I need a harness, since I have the check light every time I start the car.
A trend I seem to notice are unfinished pics with your products. Do you have any finished pics? I would think that would help you better market and sell the products, especially to the Porsche crowd as they can be a very finicky bunch. I also think some may lack the vision to imagine the finished product without actually seeing it as well.
Can you give a little more detail on the installation?
Do I pull the fan from my standard spoiler and install it on the ducktail? Is there a fan built in?
If it has a fan built in do I just disconnect my electric stuff and plug it in?
You say it bolts on to the deck. Does it use the exiting holes?
RWIII you can see installation video of our 996 wings by visiting YOUTUBE just enter PORSCHE GT3TEK and look for the 996 wing installation it shows a different wing however the steps are exactly the same.
