IMO it looks great.....it's a beautiful wing....this is a bad pic.
It's not the best angle.....and the 'down' position (about-town driving) the wing looks fantastic.
Funny.....I've never understood why they shoot these 'up' PR shots.
Real world, you'l never see it this way unless you just happen to be sharing the road with one (at over 75mph)......& ideally you're the passenger and someone else has their eyes on the road
Also......think it's been discussed, that wing provides more than ample downforce in the 'down' position.....so if that's the look you like, lock it down....(or up).

Okay, I'm going to put on my flak vest (sorry that may be too old of a reference for you young dudes) and say that the "Uwe Gemballa" stuff for me is too over the top. I like Buncio and Mitch's comments, go more Porsche look.

here is mine that I have had for 5 years.... I really like it.... its in the down position on this pic and it reminds me of a 993 rear ...
What many guys back in 2002 started doing was getting the gt2 wings and front bumpers to look cool that they have a gt2- which at the time were going for 180K...
I thought thats like putting the S500 numbers on a S300 back in the 90s......
so I opted for a very unique Gemballa wing at the time...
No regrets 5 years later.

maybe you want to rephrase your comment.... the 997TT was not out in 2003 when I put the Techart sideskirts and side vents.... maybe Porsche took the idea from others???? LOL
no harm understand...
