I am looking to put a rear spoiler on my '99 996. Can anyone tell me if it is okay go with fibreglass or FRP? I have heard so many things over the past few weeks I just do not know what to think anymore. This is the one I am looking at : 996 Aero Wing found on Carid and gt3tek http://www.ebay.com/itm/121991002439?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Thank you
I am sure that it will work just fine. I have an FRP lower body kit on my S430. My body shop guy hates working with FRP, though. Absolutely hates it. You might want to consider looking around for someone selling an OEM Spoiler.
There was an OEM taco in the parts section or sale.
OEM rear spoilers are made from FRP. As for reps, it may cost you more in body work for fitment, panel gap, take out waves, etc. This cost could equal just buying a used one. It depends on if you wanna risk it or not.
Are you adding front aero as well? It's recommended to add both front and rear together for high speed balance. Planning to do the same on my 996.

I don't think he needs to "balance" anything out with that wing. And I'm guessing this is not being purchased for track performance but rather looks. I agree with alpine. Nothing wrong with FRP as a whole. But rep wings can have varying fitment quality and paint guy might need to spend a lot of time prepping the surface for paint. That could add a bit to your paint costs if they do a nice job.
Thank you for everything. Jj1 is correct it is for looks not the track. Any companies that you suggest I steer clear of?
I went with the MISHA wing and couldn't be happier. It's all about your personal preference. With the MISHA I did have to purchase the harness to avoid error messages on the CPU. Good luck.
Thanks . Do you have a website where I could find the Misha wing?
Since we're on the topic of the Misha wing, is it the entire deck lid or just an add on? I have been wanting to switch from the taco.
Not sure, I just emailed them asking the same question. Any thoughts on the D2S wings?
While we are talking about aero kits, are there any thoughts out there about side skirts? Found some nice polyurethane ones from gt3tek.

Def steer clear of Wicked, Duraflex. Xtreme Motorcars, NR Auto, Precision Porsche, MA Shaw are some others that's had some good reviews by Porsche members. Some of them have or are sponsors here as well.
FYI, Misha wings are on special this week. Gt-Racing has some really nice wings that are more expensive but appear to be more functional. They also have all of the other aero pieces. Joe Toth makes really nice side skirts and splitters. Edit: Joe doesn't have the C2 splitter ready yet.
Alpine, why steer clear of Duraflex? Is Wicked a different brand?
