Tony at Precision Porsche has a great Exact Replica GT-2 Tail. Only way to go on a Cab!

I can see differences of opinions here. Wild (GT2), mild (TK, Aerocab), and convervatives (no wing) . After the novelty had worn off, wild is definitely out. If I put up a poll, I can see that mild is winning. Just having a hard time deciding between mild and conservative approach though.

No it's a 2002. The front bumper is a factory turbo with a Techart Front lip - splitter / spoiler.

TK Style Wing is my vote. The other wing would look better on a wide body.

Very nice Kevin...I haven't seen the ERS wing before..does it replace the entire lid? Where did you get the turbo bumper and side skirts..nice presentation..I also notice you still have the hard top..I'm glad I'm not the only one who has one..I think its a good feature.

Thanks, yes the ERS replaces the entire lid. The side skirts are OEM purchased from Mashaw as well. The rear bumper I purchased locally from a guy, I'm not sure of the brand. Yes I love the hardt top, it changes the look of the car, thanks for the reminder I should put it on for the rest of the winter.

Well, I haven't made any decisions yet. I made up a count. A positive comment counts as a vote. I also included a vote for members who had installed a particular wing on their car. The ERS came late in the thread and so far thats got 2 votes. Everything else is very close. GT2/3 = 6 votes; TK = 7 votes; Aero/Carrera = 7; no wing = 5.

I decided not to go with the GT2/3. The novelty had worn off and, personally, I'm starting to find it to be kinda too big. I like the Aero/Carrera but it is also the most expensive. The least expensive among the wings is the TK which I also like but I'm just a bit concerned on how much downforce it provides in comparison to the OEM pop-up wing in elevated mode. In other words, I kinda have doubts as to the stability it provides at high speeds. The ERS, I'm at 50/50. After taking a long look, no wing is also nice (and zero cost), but sometimes, I also imagine that having a wing is also nice.

My personal preference at this point: TK, Aero/Carrera, No Wing - an even tie. In other words, I still can't make up my mind. I will need more time to see which one wears out and which one grows on me. In the meantime, mod $$$ go to something else.
