Default Turbo S chin spoiler or Split chin spoiler for my Carrera 4S

Fellow 993 lovers, I need your advice. I want to add a chin spoiler to my black C4S, but I am undecided between the Turbo S chin spoiler and the two piece chin spoiler.

Any pros and cons, better look, practicality, etc, etc, from current users?

Thanks

DG

Which two piece version are you referring above?

Just to clarify you are speaking of a two piece version that fits on the stock turbo bumper? I am familiar with the standard turbo S spoiler but not a two piece version.

The only split two piece front splitters I am familiar with are for NBs, the level Aerokit I's and the angled RS ones. Will those even fit on the WB front ends?

Nope. I don't know of any OEM two piece splitters available for the turbo bumpers.

Sorry, for the late clarification, I was trying to load pictures to show my car and the spoiler chins I was mentioning, but I cannot insert any picture.
The split chin spoiler are not OEM, I did not know it would not fit WB 993s. So I guess the answer to my question is obvious.
My car does not have a rear wing other than the retractable one, do you think the car will look odd with front chin and no wing?

Thanks for the help.

I believe that the turbo S spoiler is the only one that will fit your bumper cover. The aerokit/rs or any other 2 piece style spoiler will only fit the nb style bumper.

The Turbo nose(on 2S & 4S also), and the NB nose shown with the two piece splitters, are completely different animals. Yes, both will fit on either a narrow body 993, or a wide body...but the NB nose has seperate pieces on the underside at the ends, the Turbo nose is one piece.

Those seperate end pieces are what you replace on a NB nose to install the splitter pieces. They do not work on a Turbo nose.

Lower splitter options for a turbo nose are the standard S , and a GT2 "look" lower one piece fiberglass unti from FVD, or Design911 UK. Check out the thread on here from Foxman, his 2S has that GT2 type splitter on it.

Anyone have a decent picture of a Turbo S chin spoiler on a NB 993 with a Turbo bumper? I'm curious to know if the flaring on the sides looks to wide without the flared hips of a WB.
