Odd?? Why? The finished car will look exactly like a standard 993RS with a painted cage.....
I MUCH prefer the "small" aero pack over the RS/CS. Heck, I'd like a car such as this without the spoilers. Since I don't regualrly hit 150+MPH, I think I'd do just fine.

As with all your work, really enjoying the process. Thanks for the updates Colin!

You know, I just knew someone would ask me that.

Answer is that I bought them so long ago I can't remember, but when they are off the car I can measure them easily enough & post the numbers.

Agree it is personal preference. The small wing looks a little weedy

^^^ Hm. Ok, I'll use it in a sentence ... IMHO, without the RSR fender extensions, the larger RSR rear wing makes the narrow body 993 look a little 'weedy'. BUT in a car with 400 h.p., I suspect you may need the extra help at top speeds ..
