Seen a few different rear wings on 993's.Which rear wing do you like the most?
I like my stock whale-tail but looking to try something diffferent.Thoughts?

I am currently leaning towards an RSCS for my car when I get the new motor built. I think it would look good with the dark color of my car. Got to go all the way and add the rest though.

Can't tell from your avatar if yours is a wide-body in which case I kind of like the turbo S bi-plane wing. For the nb cars I like the RS duck tail.

Magdaddy

me too, the Turbo S wing really is the only rear wing that doesn't detract from the rear haunches of the car...IMHO

That being said, for the first time in my Pcar loving life...I'm pretty sure I'm going tail-less on my C4S. the C2S split grill should be back from the paint shop on Mon or Tuesday, so that's the look I'm going with for now.

I like the duck tail or the RSCS.

I'm not trying to hy-jack here, but how hard is it to change the rear deck? Is it like changing tires and wheels?

Should be easier, as you don't have to jack the car up.

good question
i vacillate between RSCS and Aerokit II depending upon my mood.

Neither look great in profile IMO, but the front corner / rear corner / or rear views make me smile.

good luck

it takes me about 8 minutes to change from tail-to-tail, see post above.
it helps if you have 2 compete assemblies.

open the engine deck lid
lay down a towel near the rear glass - decklid interface to protect the paint
loosen 4 fasteners
remove the shims
remove the fasteners
lift off the deck lid


cheers

My vote goes for wing-less. Less is more

After taking a 993TT out for a spin...well a 100 mile spin....kinda feel like a souped up Honda Civic owner with the factory S kit that came with the '97 C2S.

Considering
a) taking if off and going with a split grill
b) selling the tail (along with the car) and getting the 993TT

Couldn't agree more.

If I were to pick a wing, it would be RS (NON CS), or the retro ducktail for a narrow body car (along with RS splitters on the front to balance the look). To be perfectly honest, a widebody car looks drop-dead-gorgeous without a rear wing; if putting one on, same choice as NB (no spliiters or other extras on the front this time, it already has the Turbo nose).

You want the biggest wing you can get, something that says to people, "this is a serious car driven by a serious person." Some people use a bi-plane wing. I say fine, but it needs more cowbell. A tri-plane wing is best, something that puts the top two wings at least a couple of feet up into the airstream. You want people to look at your car and basically just see one giant satellite dish-sized structure bolted to the rear end of the car. That's how you gotta roll.
