100% do your thing. Just things to consider that’s all.

So which model do you choose: ugly, unpainted front (classic) or ugly, mangled rear (touring)?

I can't believe Porsche didn't give you a buildable allocation. Bastards.

No, the struts can be removed, I did, 3 bolts each side. I made an iphone video one handed when removing it. I will post this when I have put it together. Took me 20 mins, but would take 10 mins next time, now I know what to do.

Wow, That looks so much better than Touring. If it’s an easy off will do that on my Python, will look great

I’ll be the first to say I don’t like it.

The negative comments about the touring having the same lines with the retractable Carrera spoiler, are exactly what some want, myself included.

But I can certainly see this being a good solution for some.

To each their own.

I can see GT3 Swapping Parties for us in the near future. Instead of Cars & Coffee events, we can get together, and swap wings with another car color. NTTAWWT.

Chiming in one more time after reading all the comments in here.

I ordered a touring, I want a touring most, i am getting a touring, I like the look of this mini ducktail, but i still would not pass up the touring which will be amazing exactly the way Porsche designed it. If the touring was offered with a ducktail or the active spoiler, I'd select the ducktail. I would never opt to build a standard GT3 and then take the wing off over getting a Touring. If i could only get the winged GT3, i would 100% remove the wing though.

LOL. I love this thread. Porsche is giving people what they want in all flavors and still the moaning and complaining..... rear seats, targa top, shooting brake next?

Believe a winged GT3 without a wing is not allowed, but a Touring with a swan neck mounted wing is.
