Should I Add a GT3 Wing?

I can't decide whether or not to add a gt3 wing. My current setup is a gt silver carrera s with silver turbo rims, gt3 bumper and lowered .75" with damptronics. IMO the back seems a little boring, while the front doesn't.
Here is the most current picture I have. This picture is BEFORE the damptronic install and lowering. Keep that in mind.

I have the same issue. I need a wing but not sure if I like the GT3 wing. Thinking about a GT2 wing.

I think it looks good either way, but if YOU are bored with it I'd say go ahead and add the wing. It definitely won't detract from the car in any way. I'd even suggest getting a rep. RS wing. I have the factory Aero wing and like it. I wouldn't mind slapping on a replica RS wing though

I personally like the Techart wing but that's just my taste . Gt2 wing looks nice too.

yes..you should get an oem GT3 wing to match your oem GT3 bumper. you can buy mine and modify the intake opening to match the 997S

I think wings are must with GT3 front. Now it look kind of nose heavy. GT3 wing will fit perfect!

CF front air vent, CF lower lip, blacked out wheels and GT3 wing...that's my thought
Anyway it's fantastic yet, congratulations

Add the wing! The car looks incomplete without it, as someone described it - nose heavy. Also, I don't know how fast you drive, but installing the GT3 bumper in the front would create a handling imbalance unless the rear wing is also installed. If I were to put a GT3 RS wing in the rear, I'd also be looking into installing the lip on the front spoiler of your GT3 bumper, just in case.

Why not . . . . . you already have a 'hybrid' 997 w/ the GT3 front and turbo wheels.

I'm sure the high speed loop traffic will benefit from the down force.

Bottom line it's your car . . . do what suits you.

Enjoy

Wow, this looks amazing!!!

I love this look.

Route 1- Add wing. Perhaps TA or Rinspeed.

Route 2- TA sides?

Route 3- How about the TA GT Street rear bumper, but I don't think they make it for narrow, perhaps an adaptation.

But "as is" look amazing, pure Porsche... maybe a 991 badge instead of the Carrera S badge?
