Says nothing about rear wing...
Comprises new front fascia with new front splitter and new rear bumper in special design. Painted in exterior colour.
Note: significant reduction in ground clearance

I really like the rear "wing" if you can call it that. I think the front looks better too if for no other reason that losing the "rivets" on the black plastic portions. So, I would probably order this if it is available in the USA when I order my next Porsche.

I'm also guessing that when / if the GTS is announced these will come standard with the increased price.

I'm just taking the pics from the Porsche Canada site. There's better pics of the front and spoiler on this site (Rennlist) if you search.

I played around with it on the 3D configurator and the rear spoiler is extremely subtle. For $5950 Canadian dollars....not worth it to me. This is not like the duck tail on the 991.1. Blah.

That looks pretty good but also wish the rear spoiler is more pronounced. That's a lot of money for something so subtle that's probably will only be noticeable by Porsche aficionados.

Which is exactly why I like it. Just a very subtle difference.

Looks a little less subtle IRL vs. those drawings.

Those pictures are much more obvious than the 3D configurator.

Nicely understated. Obscenely priced.

Love the black tailpipes, improves center look a bit.
Could you tell if they reworked rear trim between exhaust pipes?

I agree, and am probably in the minority here. I like the subtlety of the one in the configurator and was actually thinking about it. For me, it becomes a little too aggressive in the pics. (Could also be the color of the car, I'm not a fan of red cars) So I think I'll pass.
