rear wing fitmet question for a 4S

I cant really find a wing that i like, except the Ruf and I just dont love it enough to lay out $7500 for it. I had contemplated putting a rear wing from a new turbo on my current 2S but was told that the rear decklid on the turbo was wider that the 2s' decklid, common sense i guess. But now that i have a 4S coming which has the same rear width as the turbo does anyone know if this would work. I think the turbo's smaller understated wing, imao, would look good on the rear of the 4S. In addition i think that I could also get it to function up and down as it does on the turbo by simply plugging the wire directly from the 4S factory spoiler to the turbo one. It seems to me that all that happens is that a signal is sent to the wing motor to extend or retract so i believe this should work. Your thoughs or opinions needed.

Thanks

It will work, but unless you find a used one you can expect to pay the same as the ruf wing

i say go for the RUF!! it's very nice, although i think the Turbo wing is the best wing ever.. But for a C4S go for something else.

I like the Turbo wing too, subtle yet very sporty.

the rear deck lid is the same size. the intake is in a different spot on the turbo. i do not think it is plug and play. get an aero wing.

retro fitting a turbo wing to a c4 will take a lot of re-engineering due to different intake point per each car. Get theaero kit wing. It is pure Porsche and wind tunnel designed and race tested.
