I priced a new one from porsche and they told me the wing alone was $4800.

The entire Aero Kit, including the rear decklid and wing, with the side skirts, front bumper and rear bumper additions was $4600?

Go figure

Just bought this wing today. Can't wait to get it on my car. I bought the bumber and side skirts last spring. Gpt those from DPS at a great deal. but couldn't see buying the wing at double the rest of the price I paid. DPS didn't carry the wing. This seems like a great deal, hopefully not too great.

I think it will improve the look, notwithstanding any aerodynamics issues I have subjected myself to for the past year. Never noticed a problem though. Can't wait to re-post this profile

The Taco Wing showed up today, Thanks larry. Anyone know a good shop on NE or E side of Atlanta? I don't want the same guy who did my front bumper and skirts. I had an insurance type shop do it because of wife's Q45 getting sideswiped on interstate. He did great fixing the quarter panel on the Q, but really bad on the Aero front bumper. So bad I have just waited until I got the wing and have someone else to fix his mess.

Steve, glad to know you got the Taco Wing. Hope you can find a good body shop to install it.

$1725 seems like a good deal. I figured they go for about $2000. I would hate to have to buy a new one, and i figure that any time someone sells one they go for a pretty penny.

I am wondering... will the MkI kit / Taco wing fit a post face lift 996? I have a 2002 C2. I like the taco wing better than the MkII wing.

Will it also be functional at the track if I get the whole kit (front, side, back, etc)?

If I want the correct aerodynamics, I should get the MkI front spoilers and sideskirts as well? Will those components fit on a MkII?
