Default 996 Spoiler Mod Suggestions

Considering an add-on spoiler. These are two I've found. Both are around $275. Any comments or additional alternatives appreciated. Thanks

I like "A". I have seen it on several cars and have thought about putting it on my car. The main reason I like it is because when the wing is down, it blends in with the lines of the car If you like it, buy it!!!!!

I have Item A on my car. I like it but all you really need is to please yourself. I left mine black on my Zenith Blue car. I like the contrast. Sometime in the future I may go the route of an aero kit and then the spoiler will go. But for now it is fine with me.

Kind of looks like the smaller version of a 944 wing. In other words crap, but less crap.

Where did you find these? I was planning on eventually doing the 997 GT3 style on mine, but for under $300, that subtle (A) one might hold me over for awhile.

Even with a picture you can't see that that is NOT a wing.

Holy semantic argument, Batman. Whether it's a "wing" or not, picture A and the rubber thing on the back of the 944 look similar.

Put a photo of it up plus the price you are asking. I might be interested.

BTW I like 'A' photo

It looks more like the edge of the whaletail found on the late 70's SCs. I like A.
