which wing for my cab?

I'm looking for a wing for my cab. However, after some research, I believe that my choices are quite limited due to the wing had to give some space allowance for the top to operate. Therefore, it seems that I'm only left with a couple of choices. Which would you vote for between these two?

GT-2 Wing

or

TK Style Wing
http://www.betterbodiesmotorsport.co...ngs1/996tk.htm

If you guys need to know which body kit I went with, I've already ordered the GT3Tek Body Kit as it is important that I use something that is made out of poly on anything close to the ground. Therefore, either of the two above wings should match the body kit.

I feel the TK wing is not aggressive enough in looks but the more agressive looking GT2 wing may visually make the butt of my NB 996 look narrower.

Opinions please?

I think the TK will look better and more balanced. Large wings on a cab do tend to be out of proportion.

I'm in the same dilemma - Better Bodies is not far from me and I had an opportunity to tour the facility when I picked up my body kit (front and rear turbo-look bumper covers and side rockers)... I'm thinking the GT2 myself - I saw it on the cab they were using for fitting it and it looked pretty good. If you notice, the width of the wing is less than the width of the fenders (looking at it from behind) so it makes the fenders look wider. The TK wing is nice too... but is so small it looks like it gets a little lost...

Just my $.02

Rear view of my 2004 Metallic Seal Gray C4S Cabriolet. Next on the TO DO LIST is get my bumperettes painted to match the body.
