Rusnak, the wheels are 6" and original. The steering is not unacceptable, it was just a bit of a surprise. I attribute that to faulty memory. I've driven an SC without wing and a 993 coupe and the difference in stability was noticeable at 125+ mph. I don't have much opportunity for high speed where I live, so am not too concerned about removing the wing.

Iceman, the wing itself is not original but close to being so. It was added when the car was a year old. My concern is not getting a good paint match with either a new deck or a repaint of the original. Decisions, decisions.

Best scenario, would be what I finally was fortuante enough to find. I found a deck lid / C-Tail combo, that had original black paint. I simply slapped it on all was well!
Might be a tougher find for you, given your color......
