You should buy MK2 version (and sell me yours)! It's perfect..

Anything you go with will look great if you like it. Its a Porsche.. you cant make them look bad

Just my 2 cents... not worth 1/2 of 1



love it... thx! Paint to sample or wrap or total re-paint in that color?

Totally agree... but hard to source OEM GT3 for price that makes sense given my old daily driver C2 996...

Also, don't forget to match front and rear aerodynamic aids. A wing without a front bumper is not recommended by Porsche.
Thx. and I agree. I have OEM MKI aero front bumper and I think OEM MK2 sills. So, just need an Aero/Taco!

IMO
I think you should consider your entire build into the decision.
A car that is not lowered at all, the Taco might look too tall, the GT3 pulls it off, because it is lowered.
What other items, ie side skirts.
Bringing the wheels out a little will also impact the overall appearance.
I am biased, I have the Carrera Wing. Not too tall, not too aggressive and fits well with the entire silhouette.
Best part it is functional if you get the opportunity to track your car.

I like that Carrera wing, it flows well with the lines of the cars.

I had the GT3 deck lid cause I couldn’t find a taco wing at the time and I liked how it looks with the mk1 car. It since has been removed from the car. And this is a true GT3 deck lid.
