of? - this wing on anything other than a GT3 - I dont think I have heard of such a thing ...

nor do I think its advisable - car will be unbalanced aerodynamically, and I am not sure the cabriolet mechanism will clear the wing when opening/closing

not too mention I think you are looking at around $8-10k in parts, paint and labor

get the $1999 ducktail deal from suncoats if you must... is buy a GT3 if you can find one

Hey, I'll be the first to say it -- my hat's off to you; you are one thick-skinned chiq, not letting the bullies around here get to you!

That said, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??? Girls are supposed to have aesthetic sense. Just back away from the Red Bull and let yourself come back down. This is a bad idea all around.

Default GT3 on cab...

PM Rennlister Slantnose, he may know more about the fitment. I think he looked into this for his coupe.
Nope...it won't fit.
There's a place in CA that makes a version of a GT3 rear wing that instead of replacing the entire rear engine lid, only replaces the factory wing assembly & also relocates the wing further back.

Somebody please call Porsche and tell them to stop offering the Aerokit, Alcantara trim and Centerlock wheels on non-GT3s!! Too many poseurs ordering them on regular 991s. It must drive you crazy!

I have the opposite problem. I'd love to drive a GT3 As a daily driver but the wing would just draw too much attention. Don't get me wrong, I love it. It would just be a little over the top on a daily basis.

Get the wing if that's what you want. I'm sure that big vent at the front of the base of the wing adds a ton of cooling to the engine as well!

How about the sport Aerokit wing. Will give you somewhat of the look you're going for and will be an easy install.

Ditto! I didn't even consider the 3, even though I built my GTS to a bit above GT3 price territory, because there was no "wing delete" option. I have no need of 125+ mph aero, but I have need every single day of a car that doesn't look (to the general population) like I "think I'm some kind of racer or something."

Love the look myself, but I have too many interactions with The Hive to drive something any more flamboyant than a bland silver GTS. And that's pushing it.

I think it would look terrible, and people will point and giggle. If that's the goal than go for it.

Off topic, but that GIF the best scene ever filmed on The Office.

On topic, I'm in the 'it's your car, do whatever you want' camp and also in the 'don't do it, it'll look horrible and may cause aero and top problems' camp.
