You can always pick up the GT2 Wing. I even think those are not wide enough for these custom widebodies

andrew,
i am making it a lower profile so that it doesn't look so high from the rear and adding a vent mesh hole in the rear to cool down the engine even more.

I actually wish the wing was higher. I think it sits too low compared to like the Tech Art Type II wing. Are you planning to put vents on the rear of spoiler, or on the top like before.

vince, not on the top (keeping the vent lines), on the back like the gemballa gtr 650 wing.

OH damn, that might look REALLY REALLY NICE. I was thinking of adding vents in the rear of my widebody as well similar to this car and the new 997 turbo concept.

That would be awesome, I think the side vents would look amazing with your setup.

I agree 296 hp and a 315/25/19 tire are just too much. The car would defintely grip though, ask Mr. Don Relentless. I am picking up the supercharger tommorrow, so hopefully with that setup I can spin the tires with ease.

Car is looking really good. I have to thank Raj at Venice Collision Experts for sending me pics every few days of the progress. The car is going into paint later this week. They did an excellent job molding the vents from the stock spoiler into the Strosek wing. From the pics you can actually see how much wider the car is then stock. It is going to make a turbo look small

Any idea what it cost to have that spoiler modded like that? That's exactly what I wanted to do. I got the idea from Eric. Do you have the cost or is it bundled all together with the entire project?

It was bundled into the package with the widebody and paint conversion. I would call Raj at Venice Collison and ask him what a similar conversion would cost. I think the Strosek rear wing looks much better with the vents on the top. This is the first time they have molded the stock piece into the Strosek Wing, and I think they did a wonderful job. The whole spoiler flows
