Alvitdk, DarwinPRO 2019-2023 Porsche 911 992 Carrera S&4 & 4S & Targa & Cabriolet BKSS Style Trunk Wing × 1 My wife's Cab is a 2024
$500 with free shipping
I liked the look better than others as it reaches across the entire engine lid
It is finished in black CF, before I had it painted. Fit was a little off, they had to do some sanding in the underside of the middle to get it completely flush

Yes, comes with tape that holds just fine. When they did a test fit it was lifting on a side, hold the left side and the right would lift and vice verse
they sanded the middle to get flush and used the tape. Others have said they didn’t have my issue

The fact that you are all missing is that Porsche spends a lot of time in wind tunnels to get it right with aero. Are you looking for a look or what the aero is supposed to do. I ordered my 2025 911 Carrera GTS with the factory optional wing for several reasons: (1) it is tested, (2) I like the looks compared to deployed standard aero from the rear and (3) the third brake light looks much better on the optional rear aero integrated into the wing rather than on the engine lid. Just my opinion.

I'm probably one of the best cases of the "unique personalization"... I added features to my 3RS to improve its daily drivability since I almost never take it to the track. I added features that PORSCHE doesn't even allow to be optioned (ie, 18-way seat memory for 3 drivers, folding mirrors, mirrors down on reverse, easy entry, etc...). Additional parts did add weight back into my 3RS but again I'm not racing it, I'm daily driving a 3RS so the normal Carrera convince features were important for me to add back into a 3RS.
Personalization is one of the best part of PORSCHE ownership... even if it goes against the ethos of the particular 911. 😀

For those who race, keeping the factory aero (including the factory options) is important, but for others, it's not necessarily about racing their 911, but how it's looks, how they can personalize it, etc...

I agree with you both and if the thread is all about personalization I have no problem with that. I just wanted to present another angle to the conversation. Personally after extensively driving several different factory aero rears at normal to + normal highway speeds and under different conditions including rain I can tell you that the fixed wing that I chose preforms and, as I said , looks better than the factory "deploy at speed" standard. I am all for personalization and welcome it.

Just funny when you say "don't change a thing that Porsche" did as its perfect. The entire aftermarket world would not exist if that is the only guidance. Also, open your PCA magazine and Porsche happily lets people advertise in there how to modify your car...to make it better, different, unique, more powerful etc ...pick your option and run with it. Porsche wants you to do it. And then there is that crowd that tells me with every mod I devalue my car, or the folks that discuss for weeks if they should use light or dark blue deviated stitching...

Don’t understand a drivers ***.
Consider that in F1 the drivers butt dyno dictates the setup. There is not a “correct” aero setup generally speaking. Shifting the aero balance or trading downforce for drag is part of turning. Consider the range of rear areo changes on a full winged car, and they just have to change what hole the screws go in. Manufacturers and engineers set targets but if a driver wants a more particular setup, they get it. F1 invests millions, but at the end of the day the professional driver has the final say. They say the best drivers in F1 History all helped develop their car to handle like they like.
Now granted, not every one has the butt dyno of Niki Lauda.
