Widebody? Wing?

I'm a 45 day 2004 996 C2 Cab owner (yeah me). I haven't run over any school kids yet, but I have sent a few old ladies running for the sidewalks. I have a couple of newbie questions after scouring these forums for the past month. Man, I've learned a lot from you folks! Guess we all need a few dumb questions every now and then to keep you expert modders on your toes ...

1) Widebody? Is this just a mod kit or is this a factory "design"? My cab looks "wide" but does that fit the definition?
2) Installing a wing .. I actually do like the GT2M Misha wing. Is this a professional install? How expensive are these generally?

And FWIW, I am working on a full audio replacement .. Hertz 3 way, double 8" sub enclosures, HU upgrade, Audison amp .. I hope that helps me fit in here !

Thanks guys (and 1 gal ??) !!!

Rob

1) Turbo and C4s cars are "widebody". Theyre physically wider than your already sexy wide 996.
2) This is an install that any idiot with a basic toolset can do, professional install comes in for those too impatient or with too little time.

Welcome to the zoo! Make yourself at home and don't feed the monkey.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I've done a good deed to another newbie by asking these questions .

BTW: Misha wing .. how much $$ roughly? $1000? $2000? I know I could go ask them but I'm here now ...

Thanks again
Rob

Ya, I think the minimum post limit is a little counter productive. Leads to people spamming the boards just to get their post count up. Not unlike I'm doing right now...

I'm sure it's intended to save bandwith or something on people who just wander on through once or twice.

Dead-eye ... got your PM thanks! Can't respond due to post count. I'm going to hold off for now due to my expensive audio plans (priority) ... but I appreciate the offer!

(I feel like I'm having a private conversation in a crowded room full of people staring ).
