Default Got WING?

Wings that it is... uhh well wing...

I am so Fricken' Happy with the way it looks!!! I was unsure but now that it is on I am grinning ear to ear. They forgot to paint the caps on the inside but I will get that taken care of next week. I absolutley love it!!! I have a set of Bumperetts coming from Eric @ Bumperplugs... so please don't say "You need to do the bumperettes now" I KNOW I KNOW!

It looks so damn mean! I stopped to get gas on the way home and a guy jumps out of his car and said OMG is that the new GT! Oh well I still love it... I was think of doing the the 996 face lift...Now I don't think it needs it. The 04 Aero wing looks so damn cool with the early aero kit and GT bumper fins!

Here are a few pics I will take more tomorrow in better light at Crystal Cove.

Sandoval-how much for the wing and where did you purchase it? Looks really nice. I'm debating on that wing and the aero cab one(less radical but pronounced enough) plus also thinking of changing the rear bumper to the new 02 model with the lip on it(need to probably change exhaust tips). Great pics!!! Mike

Looks good
Don't you worry about all of that stuff on the shelf falling upon the car in a seismic event? After all it is SoCal....

It is a factory spoiler I purchased during the FAM group buy a few months back. I paid something like $2600 GASP... It is very high quality with no fittment issues what so ever.

I bought the wheels from Ebay! $1800 what a steal! They had a couple hundred miles on them and the owner changed his mind. His loss my gain. The best price I found was Tweeks $2500 or so.

I live in Laguna on an overpriced 50X100 lot room has to be made the boxes are not going anywhere... And the hanging pillows are for our patio set plus those would just swing. I am cool.

Cool wing I wish I could get one soon since my car is like yours except my car is red. Who did the paint work for you? Too bad my business is open on Saturday or I'll would have seen you at Crystal cove.

Eric, is that just a wing, or did you have to buy the entire decklid? What year is your 996? Will it fit an 02. Looks amazing and makes my Carrera wing look very bulky. Gotta look into a change! TIA, Don
