Personal preference of course....But I have seen pics of one that someone did that to, and it looked very odd...and by odd, I mean ugly...but again, it is a personal preference.

I think it is posted on 6speed and it is the Macademia Brown.

If the wing dies just call Emre from ESC motors for their GT2 replica wing.

I looked into changing the spoiler on my (996) Turbo to avoid the big repair bill, but changing the spoiler was more expensive and I can't recall now but I'm not sure I would have been pleased with the new look.

Also, there is the question of how changing the spoiler affects the car's aerodynamics.

I'm really loathe to use or mix aerodynamic aids that are not Porsche sanctioned to avoid upsetting the car's very good behavior at speed (sometimes triple digit speed).

I'm looking for beta testers to install an all electric spoiler ram kit on the 997tt. PM me if interested in hearing and seeing more.
