Default Choosing a rear spoiler

I'm trying to choose between a few different rear spoilers for my 81 930 and would like to see what some of you guys have done with your cars. This is strictly road use and no track. If anyone's got any pictures they can share I'd appreciate it. There aren't alot of pics on the net and then when I do find one I have no way of knowing which spoiler it is.

This is my car...

You've already got the best looking spoiler money can buy for that car.

True, nothing beats the original.

IMO, the stock tea tray/sushi tray spoiler that you've got is the best for a street car. It best reflects the heritage (both performance and bureaucratic) of the development of the ultimate 911. If you've got a track car, then I think the RS 3.8 tail would be my choice. Of course, if you're willing to rework the intercooler plumbing, a duck is pretty freakin' sexy on a widebody 911.

This is the tailbase that ShockM is selling but I decided to go for a bit more downforce at speed and utilized a low drag high downforce unit with large endcaps for added downforce with minimal added drag.

I would keep the rear stock and do a RUF on the front

ya your right about the Ruf and I can't believe how many insist on leaving the stock wing, wow!
It really does look like there is something missing up front.
Where did you get the Ruf Powerlift330?
Red tail lights or stock amber?

red tail lights - and you can get the RUF stuff from Getty Design, their quality is second to none.

Guns, what a monster. I love it. Too bad the launch in the video was so short.

That is the PERFECT look for our car, IMHO.
Damn, I want a set of Ruf wheels, no I NEED a set of Ruf wheels!

Powerlift where did you get the front spoiler, I can't find it on the Getty site?
Did it come with fog lights? It looks like it may use factory 86 style fogs.
My fogs are the ones that hang down as opposed to the later models with integrated lights.

Do you have any front pics you can post?

SHEMMER,

I got the spoiler from AUTOMOTION also known as Performance products. I am not sure of the brand or if they still carry it. It uses carrera fog lights for later model 911's. I ordered a brand new set of BOSCH's when I did mine.

It really does compliment the lines of the car. I'm buying some parts from paul in this 930 forum who is parting his 86 930. Will the fogs from an 86 fit in this spoiler or should I get new ones?
