Default Fixed rear wing

After seeing all those lovely pictures of the P-cars on the Dijon-Prenois track (https://rennlist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203021), I have decided to replace the pop-up wing with a fixed rear spoiler. I have to admit that, in comparison with some of the other wings, the little pop-up looks a little anemic.

Anyone ever order a wing from www.rennspd.com? They have a lovely LeMans style wing (3.8 GT?) that some consider a bit "over-the-top" but I've always liked. Once my bank account recovers from my recent big service, etc. I may just order one....

I really like it and thought about one like it myself but you might be mistaken for one of the Ricers if you drove it around here I see alot of Hondas riding around with wings sorta like that!

As there is only one other p-car in town (a 1996 911), that would be unlikely.

There are alot of Neon's and Civic's with drain-pipe exhausts and huge spoilers around here though so, you're right, I would not want to be mistaken for one of them....

hi marc, iam going for a fix spoiler also, but i think the one you are thinking about is way 2 big for a 964, and its just going to diminish its beauty (my 2cent).
i already bought an rs spoiler and a turbo one off a 930 and i just cant make up my mind which to use.
now iam thinkg about the rs america also. big decision for me before i get my car repainted.
good luck

I'm personally partial to the 3.8 wing sans the huge vents at the fore side.

From the owners' gallery at www.rsamerica.net This is George G of CA's pride and joy. I feel big wings on dark cars look a little batmobilish but to each his own.

I would have to see that one from the side, but I'm pretty sure it's the same. The one I'm talking about is definitely the one in the picture that Joey B posted. I think Jeff Curtis has one on his car. Maybe he will post a pic if we ask nicely.

I still like the ones with the air intakes on the sides only not as radical as the first one you showed more like the 3.8 RSR style with intakes.

What about the spoiler from a 3.2 or an RSA?
