Edwin,
There was no need to add any material what so ever... Our body specialist has a very picky eye and said he just had to do some sanding/smoothing. The wing was straight, he just wanted to it be like glass before painting. Great Product!!
This is the same body man that does all of my Z06 f.glass work too including spending a day block sanding my extractor hood which was a quality piece to begin with, he won't paint anything unless the piece is really ready if you know what I mean.
-------------------------
Allen's pics do not do it justice guys, if you are on the fence, this 996 wing is worth it and I don't feel there is a Porsche tax here... In fiberglass, you get what you pay for, if it is cheap now, you are going to pay more to your body tech to make it right, better quality product, less labor etc....

The Porsche wing tool is available from Porsche and while most shops have it, not everyone does so what I was doing was giving the community a solution with common hand tools if they pickup a wing from Edwin.
