Gemballa Rear Spoiler

Hi Guys

Can someone tell me where I can purchase a Gemballa (or similar) rear spoiler? There is a member on this forum called 'Pierre996TT' with a beautiful car and the rear spoiler I am looking for. I tried to PM him but I don't have enough posts. I searched the archives as well, with no luck.

I have an Silver 03tt with Techart front, sides and 19" formulas. The only part I feel I am missing is the rear spoiler.

This forum has helped me build the car of my dreams with all the pics, posts and advice from it's members, so any further help would be greatly appreciated. Are there any companies making reproduction Gemballa parts?

Thanks in advance.

Dave

Thanks and welcome to 6.







I got it at Gemballa USA, with Heinz before shipping my car to Chile.

It is well know here in 6speed of poor customer service of Gemballa USA and I think Arling ar Luccent may have one for you a good price...or maybe Rhonda at FVD USA.

The wing is sweet but needs a lot of prep, I pay like $1,300 prep and paint, other than that the deck lib wing id really funcional and my car feld more responsive, specially on the highway.

I hope its help, please feel free to ask.

The wing is sweet, I wouldnt expect so much prep work needed on a wing that costs so much.

You may have found the answer already. Try ebay, type in 996 rear bumper. there was a guy from Floria selling the whole package, it was nice and had a good price. Good luck.

Markski has one on his car as well.

I read a German guy post once that it lowered his top speed by 10MPH, but I'm sure it's because of the extra drag/downforce.

I paid $3,800, retail is $4,200 and I have seen at low 3k y you get a deal and I the time that I got mine was not possible, I wait a most 2 years for it, maybe you are lucky...and of course I mean original Gemballa.

There a lot of initarions, watch out on eBay a lot of friends have purchase "Original" and usually the seller does not accept retuns.

911ava is Heinz eBay name:
http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/911ava/
he is Gemballa North America.

That is possible with the wing up, for that reason I have my wing all the time down and I remove the wing motor (save some lbs). In that possition is more than enough downforce

The wing is functional. Does the relocation of the air intake duct come with the wing? Is your car quicker with the wing?

SleeperX, no it does not.

What I can tell you that the deck lib feeds the engine compartment with A LOT more air, and let the hot air coming form the engine get out quick as well.

At low speed or from the star it's like driving the with no deck lib at all..then imagine how much air the airbox get (big hole over the Gemballa letters).

Then when it gets speed you taka advantage of the other aspects of the design and is more responsive on the highway than the OEM deck lib.

OK. thanks. Do you know how much the charge for the relocated ar inake duct. I would think that it would have big advantages.
