This what I have as of now. My car is a 2012 C4S with a C2S deck lid (no reflector) I kept my original decklid untouched for future resale.Front spoiler is fiberglass and I wish it was polyurethane.

I was a little skeptical at first but here's mine with the Techart type III. In hindsight I don't know why I was skeptical.

My vote is no, the 997 cab has the perfect lines without a wing

I gotta say, my car has the Tech Art III wing on it. Came with the car, and I was dead set on putting the factory spoiler back on when I bought the car.
Fortunately, the previous owner was a bit of a ****, and it took more than a year to get the original wing back, and by then I was hooked on the Tech Art wing.
The original sits in a closet here at the house, and if I ever sell the car, it will go with the car.
That said, that blue cab looks great just as she sits. It would also look good with the Tech Art wing, and also would look great with a duck tail.
By the way those rims look great too.
I track my car and the wing hasn't sent me flying off into the bushes or any tire walls yet. It also manages to stay on the roads up and down the coast and over the mountain passes in Northern California without any drama.
I think the Tech Art III has been wind tunnel tested and meant to perform as well as the stock wing. I'd reach out to Tech Art to see if true, (if that matters to you) - but I agree with the others: do what you like, and be stoked with whatever you decide.
Attaching a few more pix, because why not? View from a few different angles.
Enjoy.

I'll try to get the link to my picture of the Techart type III working. The Techart wings are wind tunnel tested. I've the front spoiler and rear diffuser as well. I've done 45 minutes straight at 140-160 mph with no issues and good stability. Less float than without the wings.
