Looks pretty much the same as the RSCS wing to me. Here's the only one I have on file...

p.s. I'm looking too. Group buy anyone?!

From the side, RSCS wing has laways looked clunky to me. The GT2 wing looks much cooler, IMHO.

Incase you wanted to see more of my car, here's an old post I did when I got my BBS RE's.

This post inspired me to get back into a 993 and made sure I found a white one. I got lucky and found Larry's (Landjet) with basically every upgrade I was planning to do.
I have been giving the car a lot of TLC, thus far. At first I took well to the blue interior, but after a few months I decided black would look much better on white exterior and go well with race seats and RS carpet.
I can't believe the difference black is doing to the look, especially on a white car. I am looking forward to installing the BBS RSGT's soon and sending some updated pics.
In my humble opinion, the GT2 wing looks pretty mean on the 993. Some might think it is a little aggresive for the street (I agree at some angles), but I am glad I have a supercharger to back up the aggressive look. Thanks Jimmy for the inspiration and thanks to Larry for working out a great deal with me.

Why do you folk insist on raping the elegant lines of the 993 with an office block on the back ?

Wow. Peter. Tell us how you really feel. Don't hold back!

I agree with you though. To each his/her own but my word! If a group buy for these airplane appendages goes through I'll put a motion forth to ban for all-time any disparaging comments about modded Civic/Impreza/Evolutions.

I go through phases about the GT2 wing. Some weeks I love the friggin' thing and some weeks I want a more subtle, mature porsche. I've bought an OEM decklid from Atan88 but haven't gotten around to getting it painted. That and if I do take off that wing, I should probably take of the front splitters as well. If I do end up doing that, I'd keep the parts around though so I have the option of switching back when I feel like it. But hey, I'm just happy my car was able to inspire another to get back into the 993 fold.

A wing has a real aerodynamic benefit on the track for a race car. For the street, and even for DE's, however, the advantages are mostly cosmetic or anti-cosmetic, as it were.
