Need GT3RS wing end plate and struts - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Does anyone have a driver's side end plate for my GT3RS? Attached is a photo of the passenger's side for reference. Can be carbon or fiberglass as I will be painting it.

I am also looking for mounting plates to attach it to my 01 Boxster.
thanks!

Is a mounting plate required? Can it be attached with 3M tape?

Here is a pic of mine and no plate was required. Just 3M tape.

Sorry, I just realized that I have the rear base with the third brake light. I guess you would need the mounting plate then.
Also, if you figure out a stronger strut to hold up the trunk let me know. I replaced my strut thinking it was just out of 'juice' but the trunk still drops.
Make sure you post a pic of your car when you're done.

Do you have any pictures of of from the front/side? It kind of looks like a ducktail is on there as well.

OMG. My apologies, but: there is no accounting for taste. That is hideous.

Well I have given up on this idea. Although numerous vendors sell what they claim to be 996 GT3RS end plates, they are all copies that are for fitting to their own wing. They may look similar but they won't fit the Porsche original wing. And yes, Porsche sells them in Europe, but for a ridiculous price.
And matching up some struts was proving difficult too.
So I will buy the Daytona II aerowing from Fiberwerks instead.
Also I was concerned that the GT3RS wing would look too big on a Boxster anyway.
Thanks for everyone's input.
