Wing/spoiler at Carrera 997.2
Is it possible to install spoiler/wing from Turbo to Carrera(base and S) 997.2 or does Porsche gives some aero kit(wing,spoiler) for this car?
Also if someone has wing or spoiler at 997 lets post some pictures..

It is possible, I’m not sure what all is involved. The aero kit spoiler is offered for the base and S model from Porsche. I believe there is another one called the Carrera or Carrera Sport option spoiler, that isn’t seen very often. Lots of aftermarket options as well.

Yep, very possible. Did it on my wife's car. Active aero works as well.
Need turbo fan and wiring harness to control the spoiler mounted brake light and wing hydraulics. May need a different intake because of the central fan location on the TT lid vs the offset one on the Carrera (at least on the .1 cars - don't know about the .2 Carrera fan location.
Yes, her car is pink.
Pink pearl .1 C2S with GT3 wheels
TT wing in retracted position with Vorsteiner Rear Bumper
TT wing in extended position
Evoms intake for TT fan and wing hydraulics compatibility

The spoiler button on the dash will control it manually as well.
Otherwise it goes up and down automatically based on speed, just like your factory spoiler does - no intermediate positions - it's either up or down.
As an FYI, when shopping for the donor decklid, the hydraulic rams from a TT cab have 1" more lift than the ones from a coupe. When I installed E-rams on my other 997 I opted for the 3" lift height (same as a cab) which to my tastes is perfect - tall enough to be something, but not so tall it looks funny, which I think higher than that does.
Different rear setup as this car has the RUF carbon fiber rear decklid and wing, and RUF rear bumper.

Why, trying to add side flow turbulence and look odd? On the turbo, they're functional as the intercoolers are there for the turbo setup. Don't go cutting up your fenders for non-functional additions that will only lower the value of the car. If you're going to install a turbo or supercharger and then need an intercooler, then maybe, but there are other ways to do this too. I would also doubt that the shape of the turbo vents fit properly into the sides of the narrower C2S fenders so it also might look buggered together instead of proper.
The top fender inlets RUF uses are much better looking anyway if you're going to be cutting up your rear fenders.
