Default Narrow Body with Turbo Wing?

Does anyone have pictures of a Narrow Body 993 with a turbo wing? Please post as I'm curious how it would look.

Javier,

Dang.... I'm in love with your avatar photo. Great work. My buddy out here in Moorpark has a midnight blue C2 that has a Turbo S tail. It also has a euro Turbo S front bumper, and BBS LeMans wheels. This is a VERY handsome car. I'll see if we can pop by his place when I see you on Sunday.

If I had a coupe, I'd have one (or a Turbo S) on.

There were some pics posted recently about a Seattle area quick meet, my C4 with tail was in the photos. I purchased the factory tail from ca993twin. How are you doing Steve?

It was posted by mce993.

That would be fantastic as that's the tail I'm thinking about getting. I'll bring the lens I took that picture with...

Don't know if you can see it well. But the white Carrera in front of my car is a NB with a turbo wing. The first one I have seen and it looked GREAT!!!

IMO it looks really good, especially if the car is lowered. Here are a couple of pics...

Thanks Mel. Nice wheels on yours! It' a 96 C2. Can't wait to pick it up from shop this pm. Just got a new clutch and, of all things, fixed the turbo wing (screws came loose when closing after I got new deck lid shocks)...

TonyDec,

I'm doing fine, thanks. Nice to hear from you. If you managed to get that "turbo" script off that tail, and still have it, I suppose I should put that on my tt "S" tail to make it look more original.

Here is my very personal opinion... the Turbo S tail is not quite as wide as the standard Turbo tail... by about an inch or so. I think for the NB cars, the TT "S" tail might be a better choice. Mine came from MA Shaw, and was very nicely done. I have a lot of mixed opinions on this... I like 993s without tails, with the Turbo tails, the TT "S" tail, and even those humongous racing tails (for track use). I simply love the shape of 993s, in all forms... I never met a 993 I didn't like. IMHO.
