Dan, my wing is flat black and my car is L041. Normally my car is fairly well waxed (not in this photo) but here's a pic to give you an idea of how it would look.



Now I just need to get my brake calipers taken care of, that silver just doesnt match.

I like it. Do you wax the wing or just wash it? The only thing about my car is that I think EVERYTHING is gloss, including the trim around the door and stuff. I think I'll have to wait until I have the wing and the car in the sun, and make a choice. Could go either way.

Yeah, my big REDS are actually painted yellow I'll probably switch them back to the proper red during my first pad change.

Well I bumped the "show your 951 pics thread, so you guys could look through for wing ideas. On page 4 you will find Winslow's car (which is freaking gorgeous) with the Le Mans wing. I'll post a few others here as well. Oh and a gratuitus pic of Dukes car just because it's beautiful.
There are a number of really great pics and ideas in the "show"thread.

Just washed, didnt wax the wing. I'm probably going to powder coat my calipers black with porsche text in the same color as the wheels..

GT-Racing is not making the 968 turbo wing right now. They plan to make more tooling to start again but they are out for now.

I'll try contacting AIR....

I don't see this being cost effective at all.

The wing made by AIR is designed to fit on the S2/968 trim pieces. For a 944, you would have to purchase the trim peices before fitting the wing. So now the cost is $800 for the wing plus $1300 for the trim. LINK

That's stupid. Why would the moulding cost more then the wing itself?

So why would they build the wings and not the moldings? Where's the logic in that.
