This may have been answered elsewhere but I've never been able to find a definitive answer, is the 40th anniversary a wide body? Or does only the front bumper and rads from the turbo carry over as far as the body goes?

I recently got a small hole in my bumper due to a flying tire tread from a semi. Since I was there, I had them repaint the lower lip Carrera GT. Crossing my fingers it survives winters and autoxs!

I recently acquired #1203, with slightly under 39k CPO warranty (so 2 years/50k for any RMS/IMS issue to surface = new engine). My first Porsche. My next will be a C4 or C4S, so I can drive it in the snow! For now, have to keep this one in sunny, warm places.
The prior owner(s) took very good care of this car with regular service and oil changes at the Porsche dealership.

Spotted: saw a 40th here in Houston today in my parking garage. Had a HUGE GT2 type wing with the downturned winglets (was as wide as the car!) and was sporting 5 spoke chrome rims with 2 or 3" lips. Didn't get any pics because I didn't want to break my camera
Sorry if it's a RennLister's car, but it was not attactive (to me anyway!)

Makes me rethink getting a GT2 wing.
Maybe a spoiler on the OEM wing would be a better way to go.

I have cracked several lips on my prior cars at autox. I'm not sure if the previous owner or I cracked my old 40AE lip. Price I pay for cone hunting. Thankfully the part is only like $85 from porsche in the OEM black.

Ideal: 18x7.5, 18x9.5, 225/40, 265/35
More common: 18x8, 18x10, 225/40, 265/35
Mine: 18x8, 18x11, 235/40, 295/30
I don't really think brand matters as much as snow compound. I'm currently running Nokian snow tires.
