Jamy is correct....That wing is the Carerra wing (996-512-903-00-G2X) however it is not specific to the CAB. However, it is the only one that will fit the CAB. The "GT3" wing is the Aero wing that looks like a blade sitting on top of two posts and comes with the Cup Aero Kit II or can be ordered seperately (996 512 901 02 GXA). Porsche will NOT allow the Cup wing to be installed without the front spoiler and IMHO looks bad without it anyway. The smaller wing needs to be installed with the lip that comes with it (or the full GT3 front as wlee did). The blade wing (Cup II) can NOT be installed without the entire front spoiler.

Yup - Its the carrera wing..the front bumper and side skirt pieces are OEM Porsche...the wing is a replica. I got all the pieces from Dayton at Departstop. He gets the pieces painted and then ships it to you. I had problems with getting the wing last year, but Dayton and I came to an "understanding" and I purchased the bumper and the sideskirts recently with no real issues!! The painter he uses is excellent with a perfect match on my car!

Painting a full body kit long distance would scare the crap outta me! What happens if the color doesn't match?

wlee, that's one sexy car with the full aerokit! Amazing paint-match, to be sure. I need to get the aerokit (minus the wing) for my '99 as well. Mind if I ask how much you paid for the front bumper and sideskirts from Dayton, including the paint job? The 5-spoke Carrera wheels really accent the kit quite well.

Also, would you send me the PDF on the install when you get a chance? Thanks!

Also, wlee, being my usual **** self, I noticed your left painted bumperette didn't seem well fitted. You might want to loosen the torx screw and push it up flushed against the topside before re-tightening it.

Dell - I guess I never thought about the stuff not matching - but you are right!! If I had to return the parts it would have sucked as the bumper came freight!!!

UCube - Give Dayton a call and he'll give you a price. I bought the wing seperately from the rest of the stuff and maybe he'll give you a deal if you get it all together. I think all 3 pieces together was in the mid 3K???
