Great comments. The aero kit wings are cool, but I like the wing edges hanging out on their own.
Both wings, huh? Maybe once my twins are out of college, but for now I am lucky to be able to shoehorn this purchase in for 1.
While both are pretty cool options, I have decided on the NR wing. I like the way it is aggressive, but then follows the body lines as has been mentioned. I am not sure whether I am going carbon fiber gurney or black paint.
Thanks for all the comments!

My kid was happy with the work I did on his B6 A4, and I've redone the hood & bumper of my 26 year old (gives you an idea of my commitment to a platform) UrS6 a couple of times. Each job makes me better and I think I am ready for this one.

Actually I do my own paint. Yeah I know, but that's the economics of it for me. Since this is my car for life, I have less concerns for the perceptions of me doing the paint work. As long as I do it right and it matches the car, I am happy. At the same time, if I don't say so myself, I am getting pretty good, though this will be my first work on the 911.

LOL, Yep. By the way, I was shocked at the price of paint when I started this. Adds to the pucker factor when doing a job. I wind up "practicing" my spray technique over & over with just air before I clip on the paint cup! Like everything else, prep is the most important.
Also, TWTurbo, your car is spectacular! Really well put together, great job!

I need to stay off these forums. Now I want an OEM or replica aero kit rear wing. Does the 997.1 turbo have a different aero kit wing than a non-turbo 911?

(sorry for digging in some old post, but I’ve been digging for so long to find a nice replica as I can’t afford nor find an OEM one 😔
