DEMON POLL! Which wing?

Guys,

I would like to hear some feedback...I am on the fence about which wing to get for my car....

I am tied between the following...

GT2 add on in CF

or TechArt (I think I would call it the baby version of the GT2 add-on)

I am getting either one in CF and paint it except the underside of the spoiler...

My car is already lowered, going for a nice black out look and is aggressive looking...I just have never seen the GT2 add-on and don't want it to look "too much" so this is the reason for the poll...anyone who has seen both please notify this in your post so I can see all of your ideas, critism, etc...

Thanks all!

M

I'm planning on picking up a GT2-style blade to replace my stock blade this week. For me, the debate was between the GT2-style and the Ruf-style blade. I can see why other people choose the Techart-style, but I'm looking for something with more visual impact. I'll be leaving mine in CF to go with CF mirror shells.

I would go for the GT2 myself. I like the Techart Front bumber and rear (not the sides) but i just think the Techart wing looks slightly out of place. The GT2 wing just really completes the car as far as i'm concerned. So thats my vote. Go GT2!

If your not gonna do the whole GT2 decklid and wing, just go with the techart ad on. I think the add on GT2 wing blade looks weird when it's raised up...

Here is a pic of my old TT with just the techart ad on. I liked it alot..

I agree with habitat... If you are planning to do the whole decklid, I would say GT2 then the aerokit as the 2nd choice... For blade only replacement, I would only go with Techart Type1 or Strosek.. GT2 blade is too big to go up and down.. It doesn't flow with the shape of the car when raised IMHO... Pic of my TA wing for your enjoyment...

I loved my GT2 add on in some angles and pics, but hated it when it was up! I would say Techart although i dont know, GT2 was sick too!

I had the GT2 add-on wing and agree with most posters here that it just doesn't follow the lines of the car. When it is up it looks a bit too goofy for my taste. I swithed to a TechArt Type 1 and I really think its tasteful and a great way to make a change without going overboard.
