I think subtle may not be the correct word.

I am looking for refined and a modern flare that would "FIT" the car without looking too big.

If you want something larger than a Carrera style wing, I'd suggest you contact Getty Design. They make an integrated decklid/wing scaled to narrow-bodied cars. They occasionally offer parts on eBay and I've read that their quality is top notch.

This is probably my most probable wing.
I have this wing. Search my name and you should be able to find plenty of pictures with this wing.

Doug,

I think your wing looks great. I sent you a PM last week asking about it. I searched....I don't know how many threads trying to get close up's of your car to see if that is exactly what I want.

The problem is that people are confusing me ....they keep giving me different names for it 3.8rs. 3.6rs, 3.6 rsr turbo etc.

Ps. Your wing looks like the most promising. I really like it. Do you feel it looks to big in person. Pictures to me do no justice.

Thanks
Jeff

The only problem with some of those bi-plane wings on a black car is that you may get that Batmobile effect:

Maybe it's just me.

R6:

I don't recall seeing your PM. Sorry if I ignored you. If you sent me an email, that account gets so many each day I cannot even scan them to see whats not spam. I had that account since 1994 and for about 6 years it was my ebay user name and thus made it on every spam list imaginable.

I don't think it is too big, but my taste are little extreme. I like big tails. I like this tail because it is different and I have not seen another cabriolet set up exactly like mine.

I have thought about changing it to the regular RS tail like the one in the above post by Joey. Part of me likes that tail better, but part of me likes my current tail better because it is different. I did not put it on there and I might have choosen the regular RS tail if it had been my choice just because it looks more authentic.
