Default 3.6 Turbo S wing on a 964 NB

I know the wing subject has been debated at lenght, but after searching the technical board, I have not found one post speaking of the 3.6 turbo S wing on a 964 narrow body. Can someone please send or post picture of your turbo wing for the 964 car. Perhaps my perception is wrong and the turbo wings don't look righ on a narrow body.

Please let me know what is the best wing for the 964 NB, I have a Carrera 3.2 wide body as well with the larger 930 turbo wing (which in my opinion looks great), but can picture the look on a 964.

Thanks for all the help.

Go to Getty Design and peek at their 3.8L RSR wing/lid assembly (for NB).

Thanks for the info and poste pics, I looked up Eddie and found his car with photos here:
http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=55831

that was the look I was talking about, although looks a little out of place, Eddie's car is sort of a blend of everything with different wheel type front and rear, with 993 front fenders, etc...

May be it will look alright on Midnight blue,....

This is Tippy's avatar he has a narrow body with turbo S replica wing on it. Hope he doesn't mind me posting it. IMO one of the best looking wings used by Porsche. There is also the 3.3L turbo S with a different wing. Similar to the RSA wing but comes straight back instead of curving inwards.

Anthony: What ever happened to the Turbo S tail you managed to get hold of, did you not fit it in the end?

It went from # 20 on my list of things to do to # 250. Just too busy to deal with the paint match issues right now. Although The car is getting an upgraded suspension in 2 weeks.

Sorry to the original poster. In short I picked up a set of NLA H&R club sport suspension. Full aluminum body shocks, camber plates, mono ***** etc. Very nice system i always wanted but H&R stopped making it about 4-5 years ago. The set has 2500 miles on it and was machined for a perfect fit which is required. Thanks to a great rennlister I am getting the ultimate street suspension for my turbo.

Thanks Cobalt for the post and picture. That is what I am looking for. I am not a big fan of the rubber lip either, other than the classic Turbo 930 wing which look sweet on these old car. Match the bumperette too.

But for the 964 / 993 I also think its the best wing they made (993 turbo or 3.6 turbo).

I may just for fork out the $600 buck from MA Shaw and get it color match with a front splitter while I'm at it. I think it'll look sweet on my midnight blue.

Thank you all.

psiegel, Do you have picture of your wing on your NB that you could share?

I am still going back and forth betwen the Turbo S wing and the duck tail. I know they are both so different, I am just trying to stay away from what everyone else is doing with the RSA wing.

Thanks
