Default Rear Wing on 993TT - S or none S.....

Anyone have a rear shot of a Turbo S and a 993TT none S side by side....

I have always loved the rear deck lid on a 997TT and always knew the S was different but never thought the design was better; just my taste. Curious peoples thoughts on this....

The S wing seems less flat and no side lip curl on the ends I feel like I am missing the rear Turbo Deck lid I have always wanted since a kid in the S style...

You should have no problem getting a Rennlister to swap wings... your S wing for a non-S wing. Maybe even find a white one, so no paint required? worth a try.

I've always like the non S wing dating back to all the 993 posters as a teen I saw in the 90s. Flows better IMO.

So subjective you got so many 993 NA owners who think no wing split grille is the best look too.

huge fan of the non s wing. I always had a hard on for the Turbo wing but never really fell in love with the turbo s. Not sure if im helping your decission making here

Well, Id say smooth look on the super smooth porsche 993 rearend. Turbo spoiler would be my choice.
Best of luck with yours.

Non-S vote here as well - should not be hard to swap and maybe make enough money to cover the instal / paint.

Check the part numbers on your white car. The Turbo S wing you have might even be from M.A. Shaw. Like mine, is:

Hey, that hurts my feelings...

My aerokit 2 came from the factory and I really like it. Alois RUF seemed to prefer the Turbo S wings when he converted cars - according to someone (forgot who!)

One more vote for the non-S wing as well. I think it has something to do with the curves on the ends of the wing and that classic appeal since first seeing the cars come out in the 90's as you alluded to Mick.

Funny because the S wing is actually built-into the decklid, where the turbo wing is more "tacked on".

This is very true, looks to be a better design wher it is all one piece from a build perspectove....the S wing is amazing, I do really like it and actually like the ducts, but just grew up looking at pics of the none S wing and always what I envisioned when my garage door opened some day... that day is soon approaching


Thanks for the comments all and by no means want to offend any S wing owners, its a awesome wing...
