Default Wing on a cabrio?

I've always liked the look of an RS America wing. Is there any reason I never see a wing on a cabriolet? Is it aerodynamics or something similar? Would it interfere with the operation of the top?

Will you need a third brake light in FL? In NC, I think we would have to rig up a 3rd brake light.

It seems to have been a more popular trend in the 80s but I've seen a couple 964 cabs with the RSA wing, no interference issues at all.

I have a great fixed wing spoiler if anyone is interested. I think they look great on 964's and easily replaceable depending on your needs/mood.

The red with the 993 top looks good. The third light would have to be addressed.
