Ed, just widen the *** of your car, put a set od Dualies on the rear, and mount that wing "as is," like I did to my car.
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.

Hey all,
I recently picked up a 2002 GT2 rear OEM wing...Aside form being the wrong color, its perfect!
I have no idea how to get this bad boy on my 99' C2 and get rid of that silly stock retracting thing...
I am asking for help, please advise parts and sources to get this mounted...
IF it is not going to work out, I will have to sell the wing to someone who has an MKII and can use it.....
Anyone want to offer me via PM I will consider suspension trades or money?? I actually want this on my car, but knowing my car is the least valuable 996 on the planet... adding a wing is somewhat of an illogical move (I know...logic doesnt matter, but sometimes it does...) If I add the wing I will enjoy it, but when I sell the car the wing wont add anything and will be lost in the transaction (most likely)
Thoughts / ideas
Thanks!
Yes, you need the entire decklid as well. It would save someone a few bucks if they could cut a deal for just the lid, but not much. The problem anyone like this will have is unless they go OEM, whoever makes the lid will be reluctant to just sell it without having the wing on hand to ensure proper fitment. I know because I am in the exact same situation. I have an OEM MKII GT3 wing but not the lid.
Wing is "mounted" though it seems a bit unstable at speeds in excess of 1/mph!
I ahve some good leads on a solution and hope to know more soon..Also there is some interest from people that want the wind since I am still on the fence about it....
If I get the matching yellow hood on, I should have my "Bumble bee" theme complete!!
The wing might be a little wide for your car. Have you checked on an OEM Carrera wing?? Either way, a wing would look good mounted on your car... painted black, of course.
That is a wide body wing that is (1) too big and overpowering for your narrow body car; and (2) needs the rear decklid with struts from a widebody (ala GT2) that will NOT fit your car.
What you are attempting is the equivalent to putting a round peg in a square hole.
ps. if you do happen to gorrila glue this sucker to your rear what are you doing about front aero balance???
He will not need front down force to balance it. I believe he is doing it for looks. Plus, respectfully that car does not have enough power to need corrective aerodynamics in the front. If its angle of attack is not lower than 10 degrees off 0 it will be just fine.
I guess a few bags of sand in the front boot would work just as well.
But in all seriousness, how in the world do you know that he will be able to mount that wing with 0 tilt? He would need a custom decklid and struts. Further, he would be increasing the rear downforce without reducing lift in front. If the front is already "light" then it will be even more "light" after this little project. The two big things I would do if mounting that wing would be to correct the ride height and rake on the car and install at the minimum a splitter up front to reduce aero lift.
...To the OP, I think you would be better served with first adding the rest of the aero package starting first with the side skirts then a wing that is more appropriate.
there have been several people suggest side skirts... what it the "aero" benefit to those or is that just 95% looks? As far as the wing goes.... I am going to offer it for sale, so anyone have price ideas, I would like to know.
I also agree ride height = first...
this wing just fell out of the sky at me, but isnt right for me or my car
Thanks for the great imput

There is minimal aero benefit to the skirts on our cars. But it completes the look of the complete aero package so the car does not look out of balance.
Nice that the wing fell into your lap but a shame it isn't the right one. See if you can find another fall from the sky that is proper
There is someone selling a used set of PSS9s in the wheels and Tire section for $1200. I am sure you can negotiate it and do better as a tuner, Sharky, on 6 speed in SF is selling new ones for $1695.
