That does look good. Where does one purchase that front from?

If you're getting the MKII decklid, make sure it is the AeroCup II decklid with the ducting on the left side, mating up with the stock 996 intake.

I didn't do enough research and was hoodwinked into a GT3 decklid with the ducting on the right side, mating up with a GT3 intake.

I've bought an FVD intake, which has the filter exposed on the right side as a solution. I hope it fits without too much trouble when I get the car out of storage in a month.

I don't think I've ever seen an AeroCup II decklid for sale by itself. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go with MaShaw.

i still say the taco is best on our cars tho

Ah...that's what I was trying to say, thank for the correction.They make great looking wings, IMO

I'm not totally sure but the wing shown looks like a variation of the 997GT3RS wing but not exact. It looks good.
If you are looking at an OEM wing and deck lid start thinking about north of $5,500. Check Vorsteiner, they make a very nice RS wing and CF pieces.

BTW I really like what this guy has done to his 996 GT3. I especially like the intake set up. That is Cup car stuff. Was it custom or is it a Cup car part?

Try running your MkI wing with one notch up on the angle. Makes it look more racy!

I didn't even know I could do that. How can I adjust it?

i really like the taco wing. can you mount one of those on a MY03 C4S without creating franken-car? i know it would be serious deck lid surgery.

My friend has a really nice reproduction MK1 GT3 bumper sitting in his shop (long beach, Cali), and has decided to part with it. I think he'll take like $500 for it and it's brand new unpainted.
He specializes in custom tuning and race car body part fabrication so he could definitely answer any questions about it. Really nice guy. If interested go to www.afterhoursautomotive.com - call number on bottom of page and ask from Brian (owner). Tell him Kurt from 6speed Porsche forum referred you.

Also, and this is a bonus- if you want the RS top vents and stainless mesh like mine, Brian can definitely cut those in and add the mesh. This guy is a freaking plastic surgeon with customization.

btw the bumper will only fit pre-facelift 996 and Boxster.

Here's mine for ref, MKII- Brian did the SS mesh on top and bottom.
