Default .2 Wing on and some questions

Hey guys,
I got the 997.2 wing on and this car in Carrara white with the wing on is just
flat out gorgeous. And as the owner of two previous GT3s I feel back at home.
I did like the car without it, but the 997.2 Wing to me was something to be coveted. I loved it from day one but when the .2 came out the price from Porsche was $9k+++.
But thanks to the kind brothers here I got an offer I could accept. And so many in carrara white.
But here is my quandry. You guys know I am not a poser but the wing has the GT3 Script. My car is a C2S, equal to my previous 2 cars but no GT3.
Do I buy the new script? And take the chance with the paint? The script is in
black and I am thinking of blacking out my rims.


Thoughts?

every one!! I am really grateful to no end to them and Robb!!

Paul:


The GT3 wing is similar to the aero package so not a big issue. It would be unique if you changed the logo. I went with a ducktail on mine and removed all elements of the pop up spoiler thus reducing weight. A good friend just picked up a 2011 GT3 and I thought for a minute and then went back to enjoying my 992.2 C2S. Hope all is well with your back, mine is not liking this cold weather.

LV No the front spoiler is on the want list. The front fascia is aggressive enough, but I know the front
spoiler is needed for balance but dont know where to get one

Change the script to "911". That should be relatively easy to source and quite tasteful.

Congrats OG!! Did you buy it off the chap we sent your way a few days ago???

Glad it worked out if you did...

I'd go no script like Mooty suggested... 911 ain't bad either...
