Opinion on new rear bumper and wing

Have been looking at rear wings till i'm almost blind and think i have decided on the Techart Type II wing form their turbo program. While I'm at it I also think they Type II bumper pictured here would also give it a little more flair without being to crazy. I think the bumper would fit no problem considering that my 4S and the Turbo have the same width rear end. The only thing that might need to be done is the exhaust down tubes I think will need to be shortened to have the exhaust exit at the right height. Although not a big fan of the rockers pictured I think that they intigrate well with the rear bumper. As always, your opinions are appreciate.

I think it will look fantastic!Love the rear bumper.Definately can't go wrong with Techart!
I agree with you on the sides though,they weren't my "Cup of Tea" either.

that rear bumper is really nice. your other option is ruf RT12 bumper. it looks really nice too.

BTW my type 2 wing is for sale. I'll save you a lot of money better than paying $4600 for new one

I like it . I have Type 1 and love it . The side skirts give the car a much more assertive visual effect but I bought the entire kit moreso to have the complete paackage of aero and suspension to accomodate my HP jump to 700.

On the move my car is so planted down that it's like low level flying .

Might go with these Techart rockers instead of the type 1 pictured above, a little less aggresive, clean looking.

There are a few guys on the Turbo forum who opted out of side skirts all together . The Gt2 side skirts are the most understated but here's my concern -- mixing and matching may look good but will it perform accurately ? I wasn't ready to chance anything when jumping to 700 Hp . I wanted a sense of completeness where function over form was my emphasis.

700 hp will get you in the 200 mph range, and the bottom of the vehicle being flat is going to keep you more stable on the road than the side skirts.

B911S - I really like the type 2 wing. It's really nice .
Here's a little before and after of my Type 1 Vs stock.

It looks like a different car . Drives differently too

I like the Techart Wing and Rear Bumper, but I am not a fan of the design of the front bumper. I would imagine that if you do the rear you would need to do the front as well.

b911s,
So far your car looks fantastic. I think the techart stuff is awesome in a "online picture, or a magazine", for real life it looks like its trying to do too much unless the car is really using all those vents and such. My opinion is that if your gonna change, do the rear wing only, or look at speedarts products, slightly less outragious.

Here's another rear bumper & wing option:



Can't go wrong with TechArt though.
