You want opium? We can get you opium! The poppies are grown locally so you can be assured freshness too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Personally, I think the 968 wing looks way too small for a 951. I like the LeMans wing much more...

I tend to lean more for the stock look although I have c-2's on my '89 951 but mostly like them because they are still Porsche rims (911).

In reference to the 968 wing on a 951, I'd say nay. If you want a 968 get one. Keep the look of the 951... I think there beautiful the way they are!

I like it too, although I am happy with the 'classic' look of the 944/951 spoiler. As far as 'stock' look, the 968 wing was the stock spoiler on the 1990 951 (not sure about the S2.) There are a few of them running around up here in Canada, and I like the look.

The "bridge" spoiler first appeared in the US on the '91 S2 coupes. Was also on the ROW '90-'91 951s. If you ask me, it looks a lot better than the rubber spoilers. If I had or could find another one, i'd put it on my turbo in a heartbeat.

On a 968, it isn't a wing, it's a SCHWING!!!

See if you can get your mits on a 90-91 spoiler...they look good and fit the 951 (they're designed for it!). I'd steer away from anything to huge, they make the car look too modified Honda and not enough Porsche. Keep in mind that spoiler size is inversly proportional to the size of a certain body part. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Hey Nick!
I LOVE the 968 spoiler. I tried and tried to find one for my '89 951 I used to have. I thought you would have to replace the entire rear window, but what do I know? I would love to have a 951 with an entire 968 rear end! Probably makes more since to turbo-charge a 968 though!

I went full tilt and got the 968trs wing, personally I think it looks Fantastic. I haven't heard anyone yet say they didn't like the look of the original 968 TRS. I also "upgraded" to the 968 handles and mirrors,plus added 18" Gemballas. I feel I have basicly achieved the same look, with the exception of the front , which I prefer the 951 over the 968 anyway. Just my .02$
