996 C4S rear wing recommendations?

Been researching for a limited time only, but thought the expertise on this Forum might have good recommendations.

Own '04 C4S, Silver. Have GT2 front bumper with black mesh in-air intakes. Hope pictures make it through clearly.

Want a rear wing.

have seen these on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-996-...f72ce6&vxp=mtr

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2004-Po...629b0b&vxp=mtr


Need to do more research. But please add any input on these wings or recommendations of others I should be looking at.

Thanks!

Buy on eBay at your own risk. Especially for body parts that need to fit to a close tolerance. Unless you are very handy yourself or are prepared to write a good size check to a body shop. Ask me how I know...

+1 on misha
I would go with the GTM wing instead of the GT2M b/c the fins are smaller & look sharp, IMO. I bought the GTM wing a year ago but never bother to install it, some day soon.

If you end up not installing, you have a buyer here looking for one!

Here's a couple more that look good - I haven't bought from them and don't work for them either...I've just been doing some research and these two stand out. http://www.mashaw.com/html/product_info.html

My vote is for the Misha wing as well. Have had 3 and the 4th is up for paint on my 04 Cab.

Thanks for the replies. I've tried to ping Misha a few times with no response. Anyone else have that problem?

Following up on older thread here.. I just purchased the Misha GT2M wing for my '04 C4S. Now I'm hoping for some recommendations on reputable shops in Bay Area. Paint and install. Any help/recommendations would be appreciated.

(I also posted in Rennlist)

Thanks!

Can't help you on paint but giving you a heads up. You will get a spoiler warning light and console message. And us 4S owners are so lucky that we have the privilege to need the EXPENSIVE wire harness ($480 plus install). I just ignore it and say OK.

Just letting you know
