Default Considering A Wing For My 911 997 Cabriolet: Advice?
I am picking up my first Porsche April 7th. It is Guards Red, camel interior, Carerra S Cabriolet. I think I want to add a wing and am curious as to what experienced owners would suggest. Thanks.

You do not state your goal.

Funny, I was just thinking about that myself this week. Wondering how it would look on a cab. I'm not convinced it belongs on a cab. Interested in hearing thoughts and seeing pictures of some. Looks only for me. Hard to drive fast enough for needing extra downforce here in NJ.

Wings and cabs (and Targas for that matter) don’t go together

Don't TTs come from the factory with wings?

I really like the 991 cabriolets with the aero kits that have GTS front and the duck tail. Those look awesome.

IMO the few things that look ok is the OEM turbo wing or the ducktail. Two pictures of ducktails on 991 and 997
