Question Caractere Exclusive rear wing for 991

Has anyone installed this Caractere rear wing?
What do you guys think about it? Yah or Nay?
Does the OEM spoiler still function up and down without hitting this wing?

I like the look of the rear wing.

However, I doubt the the OEM spoiler still functions. I don't think the OEM spoiler would look right (when its raised) in conjuncture with the fixed Caractere rear wing. Just wouldn't look right in my opinion.

Its a whole different lid in the pics. i.e., the stock spoiler is gone. The wing is at least less offensive than the other parts. The fake side intake is, well, fake. And the way it carries the line of the rear body panel seam forward, yuck. But then there are very few aftermarket deals like this that do anything for me other than to tart things up. Like going out with Cate Blanchett and thinking she'll look better in the hooker clothes you bought at the Love Pantry.

Agree with all of Chuck's points, plus the Blanchett comment is very funny!

Yeah I agree with you guys about the entire kit in general being pretty gawdy, and also about the Cate Blanchette part (indeed very funny), but I would only consider the rear wing, which I think looks half decent....and according to CEC replaces the engine cover, leaves the OEM spoiler untouched, meaning minimal disruption for me which is what I want. It is something totally and easily reversible down the road if I want...
