Try looking at the 944 sites that offer parts. GT Racing, Lindsey, A.I.R., Broadfoot Racing, Texas Performance Concepts, Better Bodies Motorsports, to name a few. If none of those places have what you're looking for, like mentioned above, go to a local auto store that has spoilers and try them on. If that's not an option, ebay is your friend,

So... you want to add weight, and drag to slow your already not very fast car? AND look tacky and douchey like a boy racer wanna be?

I think we lost another one boys... (the car I mean)

Why? Seriously. I doubt you or the car are at the level where you need to worry about aero. I'm not trying to be condescending, but unless you are advanced you have no need to worry about things like that. Spend money on good tires, brake pads, etc. Do you have any track experience? How modified is your car?

I'll reiterate the question that has yet to be answered.

Why? What is it you are wanting to accomplish or problem you are trying to resolve with a wing?

Chances are that, better tires, suspension upgrades and weight reduction will accomplish much more when it comes to handling than any wing would.

If want a rear wing , you need to also add a front chin spittler to balance out the aero down force. Buy a real wing, cost will more than 1k. Check out Mantis they have a raer wing and front spittlers avaiable.

Either of these would look awesome. + You get breakfast table for free.

Do a cardboard mock-up and cover it with plenty of fiberglass.

Serious post:

Sorry Steven,

These cars are not for putting wings on and achieving that "race look" Not even the factory motor sport devision had wings on them.

There are lot of areas to be improved on before adding a rear wing.

If you simply do suspension mods, you'll benefit more from your money spent.

Mate, I have stock wheels on mine... no spoilers, no splitters (I'd like one though. coming soon) stock suspension. But i have 400rwhp. I stick to the rear end of a 997.2 c2s (both on street tyres)

Since I formerly worked as a high school English teacher I might have some insight. You see, the 'rice wing' is part of the mating display of the teenage male. Only the ones with the tallest most bombastic wing on their car are likely to attract a member of the opposite sex.

Think peacocks.
