What about the mk2 wing? It's in between the two in size or better yet, then mk1 wing (taco).

In general, I don't like the wings. I like the rear-end un-adorned! When looking for my P-car, I actually passed on two that had all of the "goodies" I wanted, but both had wings, so they got scratched off the list!

However, cars that have the other parts (i.e. have been lowered, front spoiler, side skirts) to go along with that the wing, makes for a complete package. A wing by itself just seems to be out of place, IMO.

But, just as with the choice of the color, it's all a matter of personal preference.

I have the 996wings.com GT2 style wing on a narrow body. IMO, I don't think it looks too big.

Shane,

Can you post pictures of your car? Do you have the Aerokit I front bumper and sideskirts or is your car stock? It would be nice to see what we're starting with here so we can recommend an appropriate wing.

Also dont mean to step in...but if you do like the NEW AGE GT3 wing, I have 1 replica instock from 996wings that I did not use on my car for $900.

Very nice Shane! The OEM Aerokit Cup II wing will definitely compliment the bumper. Even Misha's wing (GT3ish) would look really good. I think the OEM Carrera Aero Wing (for the cab) would be too small in relation to the rest of the car, IMHO.

BTW, your car is a '99 -- how hard was the headlight conversion? Are you happy with it? Does it do the auto-levelling like the factory installed Litronics? I would've recommended the OEM Aerokit Cup I (taco) wing but with your updated headlights the OEM Aerokit Cup II wing seems more correct.

Cheers,
