I have a C4S coupe and have been searching for a wing. What type is your spoiler? Is it a Tequipment wing (I believe there is one like yours (Carrerra spoiler -000-044-802-04) or aftermarket? I have been looking for a C4S aerokit wing or facsimile but have not been able to find one and yours looks like a good alternative. Thanks much.

For a Cab i'd get the TK wing. Most other things are just too big and that just looks odd when the top is down.

For a coup i'd prefer a GT2 wing. But a real one, not the crossover with a GT3 base and a GT2 blade.
In case of a C4S, I know of two companies that make a GT2 Wing that accept the C4S reflector.

Wouldn't put the badge on the reflector though


In any case that's just my opinion. Just check out pictures of all the wings and go for the one you like best.

I'm really feeling the GT2 wing. However, the other is very tasteful. So its really a win, win decision.

The GT2 wing is cool but I like the TK wing. BTW, how do you like the fit of your front lip from GT3 tek?

I have an 01 seal gray 996 cab so I have the black bumperetts. I bought a small black rear spoiler very subtle. $271 shipped to NJ. I am not sure if the black works as well with the color matched bumperetts but that is a matter of taste as are the spoilers. Easy install and fitment was perfect. I do not know how to put a photo on this site so I will give you the place where I bought it and part number so you can see it. Automotion.com part number P916401

IMHO, the fit is excellent, the gaps unnoticeable, and the whole bumper with the lip looks to be of one piece. That is how well the fit is. However, it's fugly on most angles. I'm not happy with the way it looks. Looks like it's got a big chin.

I'm shopping for a new bumper. GT3 Aero (OEM & poly), GT2 (FRP body with a poly lip), Turbo (poly). Having a hard time deciding so I may put up a new thread and see what members' opinions are. However, anyone is free to chime in in this thread if it's convenient for them to express their immediate opinion.

I have to admit I have one of these but didn't want to install it despite the fact it is so easy to put on. After much thought, I decided it won't look good on my car. It was free with the whole gt3tek body kit package.

I have the Porsche Carrera wing and love it. It mates up really well with a 996 turbo front bumper and the Carrera side skirts.
