I think everybody is trying to tell you it's a bit too high.

Put your purse down, we're not leaving yet...

 

When I see a spoiler like that, I think about the aero push that will result due to the increase in rear downforce with no increase in front downforce.

There are just some things like this and a car lowered so much that there is no room for suspension travel that scream the owner really doesn't know what he's doing.

As others have said, do what you want, it's your car. If you care what others think, then you have my thoughts.

What wing blade is that?

 

The good thing about doing mods is you do it to your taste.

 

Seems too high for my tastes, because it is the stock wing. Maybe an aftermarket wing would look more appropriate?

 

I don't like it that tall, sorry. I don't even like the wing that goes up and down. A wing on top of a wing, duck tail, spoiler or whatever. I removed my wing more than a couple of years ago. I don't like it period, to me it's a bit adolescent and over the top. I thought the first spoilers I ever saw on Porsche's were to die for and someday I must have a Porsche with one. I was a kid then and simple garish things with little substance appealed to me. Real wide tires on deeply dished chrome wheels, giant hood scoops, high rise manifolds, real loud exhausts, huge spoilers, etc.

Now that I've been in the business of custom bike building full time since the '70's my tastes are more subtle. If if doesn't preform a vital task, it doesn't belong. Less is more. To me the movable wing is more about marketing and owner ego and less about function. I've been nearly 170 MPH in my car a few times and around 150 MPH several times and the handling is fine with the rear wing removed. The car looks cleaner and a bit more stealthy. It goes with the chrome Turbo delete which I replaced with a black 911 on my black car.

Don't get me wrong, I love customizing. It has made a good living for me and just because I don't want what you do on my car doesn't mean I don't approve of it for you. I like very little of what I do for myself. It's about helping my client to realize his dream. He dream is not my dream :-)

 

I have the same package on my Rturbo. I actually removed the hydraulics and have the wing in the down position which on the Rturbo rear wing is still a semi raised position and according to RUF produces more downforce than the stock TT wing in the up position. I track my car a ton and couldn't tell any difference between the RUF wing in the up or down position. Maybe I'm just not in tune with my car. It boils down to looks and what floats you boat....f**k what people think.
