i got my GT2 spoiler from MaShaw. Keep in mind you get what you pay for. Even MaShaw needed some finish work IMO - but fitment is great!

Good luck!

personally I like the look of the GT3 RS flat wing blade .... I am shopping for one now and have found some with and without the deck lid ... and some in carbon fiber, which I really think looks great. From what I inderstand we'll need a new wiring harness for the non-movable decklid.

I love carbon fiber it gives the 996 that racy look and its completely functional at the same time. If I could find a bodykit were most of it is carbon fiber I would buy it, plus it would lighten the weight of the car.

Thats why I went with MaShaw - full decklid - not a bolt on. And his kits come with the factory wire harness and 3rd brake light!

MA Shaw is top notch when it comes to Replicas. The first one posted from Ebay has non adjustable center flap and the finish isn't as good. More prep work involved as well as possibly wavy finish even after all the prep.

Even MA Shaw one is missing the gurnee flap which you'll want to get from Porsche.

Replicas are not adjustable. Only OEMs are and worth the extra money.

Not true, a handful of reps do have the adjustable flap. I happen to have one.

There's also a $1200 rep with CF center section on ebay as well that is adjustable.
