Okay, i have decided to go with the GT3 RS Wing for my porky. One more thing, carbon fibre or no carbon fibre?

Anyone knows the best place to get it?

Cheers!

If you are going the RS wing... You have to GO WITH CARBON! It is the Bling factor!

I'm liking the MK1 front bumper. It goes nicely with the Taco Wing.

I'm looking for a wing too. I was thinking of getting the GT2 wing to go with my front bumper.

Now I'm not sure what to do, I'd hate to have to replave the bumper that I have.

What do you guy's think?

Best place to get the OEM wing is Suncoast. I think it's like $6000 these days though.

Also, you're going to need to buy a GT3 deck lid at the same time to mount the wing to.

I have seen a wing from Tech Art which is kind of like the GT2 wing but sits alot lower and does not have as much service area on the side winglets. Sorry, don't have any pictures.

I have a slightly used MK1 Aero decklid with wing at a fraction of the cost for new. Somebody please PM me if interested. Sorry for the shameful plug.

IMO wings look goofy on most cars, stock, aftermarket...whatever.

There comes a point where you need the aerodynamics though, and I accept that a GT3 needs a wing..for this reason I can get past the looks. Factory aero kits...ok maybe just maybe.

But a stock 996 trying to look like a GT3 though...c'mon. that's just sad. That's the automotive equivalent of stuffing a sock in your pants, or a boob job.

If you can't afford, or can't handle, a GT3 then don't pretend like you can.

Jasper, I disagree with your comment. There's nothing wrong with a good boob job!
