Should I Get A Rear Spoiler On My Targa 4s?

I' m thinking about getting a rear wing on my new Targa 4s...... Any recommendations and do you think it will hurt the lines? Dont want to take attention from that fat *** . Would love to see a picture if anyone has!

Not a big turbo one

I love my targa, but owning a targa means that you are NOT speed racer. A small tech art type 1 or something similar would probably be OK.

I am in a similar boat. Can't decide on a rear spoiler for the 997S or to keep it clean...

I am not a fan of any wings on the 997 (the gt3/RS the obvious exception). The 993 and 997 have such beautiful lines without a tail. I put a wing on my 993 and was sorry I did. I now have a 997S and won't make the same mistake. I am sure your car is awesome, don't mess with the lines.

Techart type 1 if you wish, otherwise it looks very clean without one.

Here is my little TA spoiler that might work for you. I get tons of positive comments on it.

Is that the dreaded Meridian Metallic?

Nice car! I have looked at that same wing- can you see the third brake light when the spoiler tail is up?

Wow Meredian metallic is quiet nice, its a perfect balance between Silver, slight red and Gold in one package. A nice colour is Silver rose or Rose silver which was limited on 944 Turbo S cars.
