Show me your wing....

OK time to pick a rear wing for the back of the 996. I do like the GT2 look but i want a vey clean set up for the stock deck lid. I might do the whole lid but I am not sure yet.

Pic's and a brand would be nice. I want a real clean OEM look where the stock rams come out.

Here's the Misha GT2 Add-On wing with the stock deck (replaces the OEM wing on the rams). I installed the fixed (but adjustable) kit for the rams -- but you can also leave the hydraulics and have the rams extend at speed. If you're really looking for the clean OEM look, I'd think about staying with the stock wing.

[thread jack]I've looked at so many wing threads. I'm still a bit concerned that just about every wing out there is mostly cosmetic as opposed to functionnal. I've yet to see a real race wing for the turbo.

I had a Reverie wing (and splitter) on My Lotus Elise that produced huge downforce 330lbs at 100mph). The problem was the drag at 120mph+ speed. Now with the turbo I have the power to overcome the drag of a real wing, but no real wing is available.

WTH?

My Old TA Style wing actually moved around at speed and you could tell from the paint cracking around where the rams connected to the wing.
