What wing riser(997.2) is this?
Saw this photo online and noticed the wing risers that I have never seen before. Hoping RL can help ID the part.

They look like the Salter Aero or Baron uprights to me.
Edit- jk - on the Baron and Salter ones the smaller cutout is closer to the car - these seem to be the opposite.

If you have a CNC mill and know how to use the software, you can make a set of risers based on your own design in fairly short order. Not an extremely complex part.
Looks like the photo was taken in Japan. Very strong car culture there. I bet these may be one-off or very low production Japanese produced parts.

If someone has a file I can just 3d metal print them. Instead of machining it’s way more cost effective for something this small than programming time making a fixture. Trial and error ect ect… probably 500 dollars a pair printed in alum. Or I’ll have an engineer that works for our company scan my uprights and raise them 2.5” keeping the same angle, then print them. But that involves me not being lazy.

Depending on their design, I could be interested in a set of custom risers. Personally not a fan of the cup risers.

I may also be interested in a set depending on the shape...
Both the Baron style and the Cup uprights are decent. The Baron ones make the wing position a little too far inward for my liking and are a bit on the skinnier side, while the Cup ones have a little too much meat on the bone...
While we're on the subject, I think the part that really needs work are the end plates. The 3.8 end plates look way too small with the taller uprights. I have the 4.0 end plates on my car but even those look small with a taller wing. I wonder if a set of 4.0-shaped end plates could be made that are 40-50% larger...
