I like the 3.8 wing but if you're selling your RSA wing, please put me in line.

3.8 Wing looks the best by a long way...in my humble opinion! The RSA wing makes it look a bit turbo and less RS

OEM BY FAR!!! And I would keep those RS America Badges off, they kinda look like an after thought, they dont look right together. Was the RSA a real Porsche model or a Porsche America model? I just can't imagine Porsche doing that with the badges.

I guess I go against the general trend too but I love the look of the 3.8 wing and if I were to put a fixed wing on my car that would be it....

I think either (or both) look great.

Love the stock look of an RSA. 3.8 wing looks good on a turbo bodied car IMO.

I think it would be a PITA to try to fit both...

I'm with Gary and think the 3.8 wing looks better even though the RS wing does look good.

I like the 3.8 RS wing on any 964. Still looking for one for my dad's 93 C2 for track use.

Everything you could ever want to know about the RS America is here:
http://rsamerica.net/
Not sure what you mean by "was it a real Porsche model". It was only sold in North America and only 701 were ever built. Rumor had it that Porsche built it to make the US market happy since North America was denied the earlier lightweight RS model. It has a unique serial number from the other 964's. Here's the way the rear deck badge is supposed to look. Personally, I like the badge when it is aligned correctly.

I dig the stock look. I'm into less is more. I wish the RSA came with the 'real RS'/C2 spoiler. I understand that there is a function to the 3.8 spoiler, but to me it comes off as a bit "ricer".

-Real RS

Nice car. Both wings look fantastic, I would go with the stock RSA wing myself. I love the 3.8, but on your car, the RSA wing looks so nice.
