997.1 Rear Deck/Wing Decision

997.1 Rear Deck/Wing Decision
I've decided to replace my rear deck/wing rather than going electric or repairing the hydraulics. At this point I have narrowed it down to two options:
JL Motoring custom (from Dguth's post):
And NR Auto's:
I want aggressive without being too much and I think both of these work toward that end. The JL is a bit wider (I think) and I like the air ducts on the JL. The NR is a bit narrower and closer to the GT style wing, but I don't like the air ducts as much. I also think I like the idea of paint color for the main part of the wing with a carbon gurney of the NR.
I have done some searching and only found Dguth's pics, and only the marketing pics of the NR. I know it will take some work to get either of these in final form and fit for the vehicle but I am split even on which I like the most.
What do you guys think? Are there other alternatives?

I really like the oem+ kinda look of the NR GT2 replica. Keeps the wing dimensions within the body lines, giving it a 'beefy' kind of aggressive look without screaming boy racer to me like the JL. But, that of course, is just my opinion.

I have both the GT2 wing and the 997.2 GT3 wing from Precision Porsche. I like to switch back and fourth from time to time. I love both, each has it's own unique look but the GT3 wing sets directly in the middle of my rear view mirror. The GT2 sets a tad below giving my 90% visibility.

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!
