This is my car. I assume that's what you mean by GT Wing.

It looks hot. Only car I really like the look of a wing on.

Yeah love the wing on my car. Adriano actually brought it, and i'm pretty certain it was from SSV (sydney special vehicles) along with the body kit. I do not under any circumstances recommend them. Absolutely horrendous job fitting and spraying the body kit. The wing is attached fine, but I still think it's best if you avoid them.

Any body kit shop can attach a generic wing to your car. Mines a cheapy one i think, and yes the braces are metal. Only been pulled over by the cops for a RBT. No-ones ever said anything. Remember that removing the stock spoiler is going to leave holes in your bootlid (unless you have a GR, which i do, but mine had a vielside kit before it) which a gt wing will not cover. The cheap fix (which is currently employed on my car) is to buy these little plastic plug type fixtures from bunnings or mitre 10 or whever and roof&gutter seal them to the boot. Looks much better then the fully sick method of silver gaffa tape. Ofcourse you could always get your bootlid filled and sprayed but meh, that costs money.
