I have heard something that the C4S wing is wider by 11mm and raises to a different height than the normal Carrera wing because of its different size. However, I don't know that for a fact.

Does anyone know if the TwinTurbo spoiler will fit the C4S cab? Related: Does PAG provide an option to install the side air inlets (in front of the rear fenders) on a C4S or C4S Cab, like in the old days when you could order a Turbo Look car?

Thanks

Heh-heh-heh, your questions seem to bring more questions,Fadz.

Nothing new as far as I now. The 996 TT rear wing and engine cover will still fit , and all 996TT aftermarket wings should fit the C4S coupe. Dunno about the new C4S cab.

Dont do it Fadz!! I just installed the 9ff wing on my car and I am having aerodynamic problems. The car is baring to the left and I might need to change the front bumper, another major cost. The wings are getting expensive, then installing and painting them are a pain, since most of them are very cheap in quality especially the 9ff one from what I have seen. By the way, the Turbo wing is not a direct fit on the C4S, lots of modifications are needed to fit properly, one of my other options before. So now I am considering either a TechArt Type II front bumper or an OEM GT2 front bumper. Good luck Fadz and yes I will post pics once the car is out of the shop dont worry I knew you were gonna ask anywayz.

hahahaha! You bet, waiting for the pics. should look great with GT2 front bumper.

sorry about the trouble you're facing will be solved hopefully.

TT rear wing and engine cover? you're right needs alot of mods. moreover costly $8K without fixing, etc...

Palting what do you think? bad news from 03-C4S!

Fadz the only thing I would honestly recommend is to go OEM. The only wing that will directly fit is the Carrera rear spoiler in the Tequipment 911 book. Part No. OQO 044 802 04
I believe it is what Don has on his Cab. Best of luck with it.

Thanks.
why would you want to do that? You need the downforce on the turbo, and changing out the rear wing will upset the aero balance.

Agreed! The C4S rear end sans wing looks better than the Turbo.
