    Can anyone help?

    I’ve collected parts to fit the OEM F355 challenge wing. Does anyone have installation details, especially around fitting the brackets for the wing supports.

    Thank you.

    Well the 3 holes in the supports are 3.5 cm apart. I would start by centuring the support bracket to the area under the hood and go from there. Once that is in place, all the other parts can only go from there.

    That bracket is slightly off square when setting it in place. The 3 holes in the bracket that align with the wing support are pointing straight forward and this is what throws it slightly out of square with the cutout in the hood. 2 of the 3 Allen key bolt holes are visible but the lower one you have to drill a 14mm hole to get to the 3rd position hole. a 5/8 hole will work too.

    Chris,

    Ken (kenneyd) would know. He installed a Challenge wing with original parts a few years ago.

    Not specific to the Challenge wing butt, I use this method per Porsche install to get proper hole spacing. I must have done 50 of these kits back in the 2000 year
    You can get these from Porsche if still available. They were part of the full body kit for the 911 or just make something up they are simple
    Put it in the spoiler hose, place spoiler on car, tape down the guide, remove spoiler drill pilot hole
