Question Tequipment Rear Spoiler?

A Search didn't turn up anything. Has anyone installed the factory Tequipment rear spoiler? Got any pics?

That spoiler is typically installed on cab aero packages. It would not look right on your C4S IMHO.

Scott, the aero rear for your car is different. That is for the narrow body cars in your pic. See my attached pic for what yours looks like......

Valid point.

Oooo. I kinda like that. That doesn't look like the standard C4S aero kit is it?

That is the "standard" widebody aerokit. It really only consists of the extra deep front splitter and the wing in the pic I posted.

Standby, I have a 996 Teq catalog that I will scan and post the pic for you.......

UPDATE.....SEE ATTACHED PIC.....

Does that C4S rear spoiler increase also airflow to the engine?

Thanks,

I have to give credit where credit is due. I thought Benjamin Choi did a good job modding the exterior on his C4S and only parts of it is OEM.

Ideas here:

I really like the look and flow of the stock wideness, but would maybe like a little more emphasis on the rear; IDK The stock C4S aero I like, but not crazy about the front lip.

Scott, to add that level of downforce in the rear you need to reduce lift in the front. THat is the purpose of the monster splitter on the aerokit.

Yeah, and I don't think I'm willing to do it, so better of leaving it stock; I'll just reaching for the spoiler button.

In it's stock form the C4S is one the most perfect 911's ever designed. Just my $.02 of course.

+1. It just needs to be lowered a little bit to conform with actual Euro ride height and not US DOT bumper laws.
