A GT2M wing with a GT2 front bumper and GT2 side skirts on a C4S would look sweet!
Hi Fly 996,

Thanks for the info! Well, now I can't decide between a GT2 kit and the TA kit you have on (didn't expect a replica to be available for this). For the GT2 wing, I think the whole decklid will be replaced. If so, can we still retain the red reflector that runs across the centre joining the taillights? I see that those C4Ses on Misha website do retain their red reflectors.

Hi Ben,

Saw your sweet C4S on the C4S thread - advice appreciated.. thanks!

Depends on if you want an aggressive aftermarket look (TA) or a Porsche look (GT2). Also, how comfortable would you be with a GT2 kit on a non GT2 car (Poser)?

Wing looks great, Dervish! Of course, I may be biased because I have the same wing and car myself....

Honestly I forget exactly how much $$$ the kit cost...check with Tony at Precision....

also, make sure you check with the installer ahead of time regarding prep, paint and install $$$ which can add up pretty quickly....

Fit is good but not spot-on like OEM...a good installer is key here...if you can find a very good installer but need to spend extra $$$ for him don't hesitate do it...but if you're extremely **** about fit, stick with OEM...

Hi,

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I am actually sourcing for a good installer now over here.

Have gotten in touch with Tony, and considering ordering the TA front bumper and side skirts from him. Wonder if anyone knows how these will fit on a C4S. Fly996, is your car a C4S or a C2/C4? Do you think the bumpers and side skirts will have problem fitting? Well, the OEM costs an arm and a leg... So I'll just stick to the replicas, as long as they dun look too odd when fitted on (yours look just right in the pics!).

For the GT2 wing, feedback from a previous customer of Tony who installed the GT2 wing on his C4S is that this will not fit the decklid of a C4S perfectly.. some cutting up work is required. So, I think I'll stick to the Misha GT2 wing since they seem to have done quite a number of GT2 wings for C4S. However, they have not replied to my message left on their website. Anyone here got an email address I can email to for my enquiries?

Sorry for my long email..

Cheers!
