Need to choose a rear wing, asap.
Would love your thoughts on either:

-GT3 Aero wing (997.1)
-Misha GT2M wing/ decklid

I don't think I'd add any sides or front bumper at this point, so would the GT3 wing look out of place without the front? I know the Misha wing looks good stand-alone.

It would always look good, but if it were me... I like the front to rear balance. Do the wing now and maybe more later.

 

I like the balance of the front and rear done...but...the Koni Challange Porsche's only use the rear wing and they look good too.

 

the GT2M wing is designed for a widebody. it looks out of place on an NB as it covers up the hips of the car. i would def rule out that wing as it looks clearly like an after thought on an NB.

the GT3 wing is the Only one of the larger wings that looks like it was made for the car. unfortunately it will need the agressive nose to look right.

if i were you, do the front bumper first and then the gt3 wing. or do the gt3 wing with full intent to finish it with a gt3 nose.

 

You really shouldn't use a rear wing without a comparable front air dam. It will make the car unstable. Porsche won't sell the rear wings seperately as far as I know, but they will sell the front spoiler seperately

 

Not true, Koni challenge 997's use the rear wing without the front bumper.......

Does anyone know why they don't use the GT3 front bumper?

Hey cattman, you and I met last year at Hennessy Porsche in the service area. I had the seal grey with full leather.

 

Koni Challenge is governed by Grand Am which is owned by NASCAR.

The reason they dont run the GT3 or aero kit front bumper is because of the rules...........

These are 997's and not GT3's so they have to run stock front bumper.

The rules are all whacked in this series when it comes to aero. Its a shame because race cars need to look like race cars in my opinion.


If you are running a rear wing you should run some sort of front bumper.


We have 997 GT3 Cup bumpers in stock if you are interested.

Generally speaking race series rules tend to be specific. I imagine there is probably a rule about cars in the Koni series able to have a rear spoiler but no modifications to the front. Or, able to have rear spoiler as long as its an OE option (Aero Kit)..... My best guess

I would do the front only before a rear only. If you are hell bent on a rear only go with OEM.

 

Just curious whats the difference between 997 GT3 Cup bumper and the normal GT3 Front bumper ? Oh and please PM me pricing info as I am in the market for a aero kit front or similar.

 

The cup front bumper comes with mesh which is a must with these bumpers. Also has a cut out for a front tow hook.

A related question....

I've seen prices for all kinds of aero wings, but haven't gotten any straight answer from body shops on painting and installing them. In what range is considered reasonable?

 

Techart Type III or save some $$$ and get NR III

 

how much is that bumper and does it come with the lower lip?
