RUF makes the original. I got mine from Edwin/Precision Porsche but I'm not sure who made it, you might want to check with him.

lot of hole drilling and track time and data aquistion analysis of lap times and segmental track section speeds was best I could do.
dont know if some realize but a little too much wing takes 3-5 mph off top speed, too much dials in front end push, too little and you loose downforce and the rear gets loose

However, I do feel the car is more stable at higher speed (100+).

Yep, at least 4 settings in my wing.
Tom's wing is from Getty Design. Superb stuff. Mine is from another user on this forum (for the person asking). Both Tom and I have posted threads with lots of details and pictures. Tom's wing gave me the desier to get one, so Tom is sort of my model of how to tune a turbo. I DD my car, so mine is not likely to get stripped (this year).
SamboTT built it (my wing) custom from a stock decklid and a Porsche 996 RSR wing. It is solid. It is NOT a simple thing....
I am not nearly as good a driver as Tom. He would be a great instructor for me, let's put it that way (PCA DE). He races. I watch races. So, I lose more time in a turn than the wing will cost me....compared to Tom.
In places where I can drive safely, it feels more planted on turning...but to really feel it, VIR is the way to go (planned...).

It looks like he's set up at a car show.
