I have just ordered and payed for a 968 turbo RS rear wing from Deutsch Nine. It was far from cheap, especially since I took the one with a carbon fiber center piece. Hopefully it is worth every penny.
Has anyone here any experience with the D9-stuff?

Ive heard good things. Was considering buying one for my 968 project eventually, but am really hoping for them to do a turbo s wing. Im eager to hear what you think when you get it. I might get one, if I can get their website to load. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yup. Over a grand after shipping. I have one but purchased it used. Well, sorta used. The item was previously owned but never installed. The adjustable bracket looks different then mine, thinner and has more settings. I think you'll be happy with the look. I really like it over the standard wing.

Do you have any pictures?

I will have a picture of it installed up soon. Im very happy with the finish. I wasn't however happy with the paint job I had done on the uprights. The clear coat didnt seem to cure right. Perhaps it just needs more time.

Pics posted.
your wing is different. You have about 5 setting, I have only 3. But would never want my wing up and higher then position 2 anyway. The wing is designed with a nice curve as is so even at position one its producing down force. The adjustable brackets from DEUTSCH NINE are different as well. Theirs is made from CF not aluminum and are much thinner. I think they both look good but I'm guessing your install will be easier.

The wing has arrived. Center piece and adjuster brackets are very good outta the box. Not show car quality but looks really sweet and not race car if you know what I mean. The uprights need a little filler and tlc before painting but we're talking about an hours work or maximum two. So far I am very pleased, I'll post pics when it is painted.

Well, I haven't seen a real turbo S so I cannot really compare or judge the accuracy of the D9 wing. The uprights look like the "real" ones from what I can see by looking at pics. The blade is supposedly the version 2 style with an extra lip but having never seen one I don't know if this is true or not.
I was considering getting the wing from AIR but since getting their front splitter, and guessing that the wing and splitter is of similar quality, I chose the D9 piece instead (the version 2 style appealed to me as well since it is much less common). I cannot say anything about the function of the AIR stuff but the build quality is imo more suited for a race car than a pristine sunday driver (my car being somewhere in between).
The D9 unit is very well put together and very light without feeling like something that should be handled with care. The only things that needed attention before paint was the uprights and we're talking a little filler where the parts have been put together and some final wet sanding. I used less than 20 grams of filler on two uprights.

The wing is on!
I spent a couple of hours of work on it until it was time for paint, partially because it needed it and partially because I can be a little anal sometimes.

Well, actually I do. Since swapping the brake bias valve from a 5/18 to a 5/33 my car has felt a little loose when braking hard. Last night, with the blade in the lowest position, I did a couple of hard brakes from 100 to about 25 (mph) in rain. The loose feeling (like the cars gonna swap ends) was gone and it feels much more controllable. Maybe it is just my imagination. Maybe not.

my wing is set at one click up. When I break 80 or so I can feel a difference. It feels stable but the turns feel a little too smooth. Hard to describe it. Im not sure if I like it or not. I need some track time to play around with it at different levels.

The brackets are very slim, not at all like I've seen on other repops where the are integrated in the wing and the uprigths. These are cut from thin, like 3 mm, carbon fiber sheet and then screwed and glued into place.
