Nice, how much, looks like it replaces the retractable unit.

Is that a cab? What year?

Is there a matching "nose"

And why is the butt so dirty after the wing was installed?

Your engine compartment looks choked for air with the new wing.

we can't see from the picture, but as i recall the strosek as a huge opening right under the top of the wing (that is obscured in the picture) for air...

Guys thanks for all the feedback.

evo-333 - I will take some pics directly of the rear and post
C4S - it does replace the retractable unit, it was used and my friend got it cheap
Joe2000 - it is a 2001 Cab, I do not have the matching nose and I did not get a chance to wash it before I took the pics. Canadian snow, it's clean now.
Dell - No clearance issues at all, fits perfectly
ElTorrente - actually there a two ducts at the front of the wing that funnel air into the engine bay
kilrgt - I am from Toronto also and I have always wanted a GT2 wing but not too sure how it would look on a cab

I think it actually looks much better than the gt2 wing.

I think it fits the lines of the car nicely and with RUF side skirts, front and rims that would be one slick ride.

GT2 wing on a cab is overkill......IMHO.

....course there are people who don't even think wings & cabs mix.
Besides Strosek, the only other wing I care for on a 996 cab is this one.

Out of curiousity, has anyone installed / seen a Turbo Wing (absent the Turbo logo of course) on a non-turdo 996?
