I think the problem is that is has so many strange curves and lines that seem unnecessary. It just looks like custom fiberglass like for show cars etc. It need to be toned down with harder lines, and not be so busy... actually I think im describing the 968 spoiler now. I just personally think that the turbo RS spoiler is the only semi-flashy wing that can ever look proper on a 944.

Id like to see it painted

Poor elements of design IMO, but have fun the way you want to.

Too bad Fiberworks didn't put their efforts toward making a 968 TRS replica wing or a 924CGTR replica wing. They would have sold more of them.

It's just my opinion, but their front end and this wing don't match the lines or style of these cars at all.

The original post looks horrible, as does the wannabe TRS wing someone just posted. That looks NOTHING like the factory one.

are you on crack

750 dollars for a WING

you can BUY a whole 944 that still runs for that kind of money.

Not that my opinion matters but I wouldn't put that wing on any car I would be seen in. It just doesn't work well with the lines of the car and looks 100% boy racer IMO. To each his own I guess.

The AIR one was $800 last I checked, and Hank @ GT's mold was "stolen" after only producing one prototype. You can occasionally find a factory one for around $1200-1500 in Europe (plus shipping).
