Nice, but I think the wing overpowers the car, a mk1 GT3 wing would look much better, I'd pass on the quad exhaust too. Overall looks good.

I've never been a big fan of huge wings on the backs of cars either. It it critical to handling?

Handling?? No, but aerodynamically at 80mph or more it comes into play. IMHO, the GT2 wing is a good look for the narrow 996 but to each his own.

What kind of front bumper is that? Is it the Turbo look or the Ruf?

I agree with Chris that the quad exhaust is overkill. However, I think the wing is alright -- it looks good on coupes. I still say that you should have used the RUF RGT sideskirts to match the front bumper. The lines look really off with the RGT front bumper and the Aerokit I sideskirts and flares.

Of course it is your car and looks are very subjective. Thanks for posting, Dan!

Prog,

That's a really good pickup. The lines from the front bumper back DO look really off. I hadn't looked at it in detail to pick that up the first time.
