That TT wing looked pretty close to what I´m looking for. I cant stand the stock S-wing and plan to get rid of it. First I looked around for a S4-wing but I´m starting to reconsider.

A rear end on the 928 isn´t bad either, in my opinion.

However...
The audi TT wing does look very good on the OB 928, I can understand a wingless GTS, the AIR wing that came on my former 1986.5 track car with the S wing did grow on me, the newer GT3 Cup wing like Kibort has on his racer does work for me on a 928 racer.

Does anyone know how Kibort crafted the GT3 wing onto the 928? Its been something I have been thinking about for next year. Any pic's?

Cheers

I think that the OB original wing looks more natural as opposed to the TT (mini) wing

No, I'm not getting into the rear wing discussion again. I really won't. I'm not going to say anything. No way!

I agree a GTS should run nothing on the rear and that the stock S spoiler is just fine. I went with the TT only because it was a cost effective way to run something on the rear being an OB. It was $25 on ebay if IIRC.

I have the same wing that came with mine. I thought about cutting off the short uprights in place of some aluminum ones

I wonder how much this wing slows you down... it looks lilke it might create a lot of additional drag, but probably some downforce.


Quick Reply: which rear spoiler/wing do you like best??
