Sorry, but that red narrow body 996 looks like crap with a wide body GT2 wing.

Looks alright imo. Is there no wing that is made smaller for a narrow body ?

in a nutshell that is the problem, its all to do with opinion, as you said in your first post, its your car do what you like

imo that car lowered with spacers would look the spoiler should not dominate the car

Your factory look options for your car are the small "carrera" wing and the other is the "aero" wing often referred to as the taco wing. The taco wing would look awesome on your car and would be period correct.

Sure, it's your car so do whatever you want. However, keep in mind that the proportions will be all wrong and will have zero functional aspect (and potentially adverse) if not paired up with the proper complete aero components.

No, it would just look like a picnic bench!

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

+1 on the taco wing for your model year. Taco wing will definitely grow on you. The GT2 is going to unbalance the lines of the car.

kr3678 Nice shine/reflection on that 2nd pic

Mine is the black car on page 1 so i am slightly biased - oem/aftermarket

i like the aero kit and i wouldn't like to choose a different spoiler
