AJ997S is infamous around these parts
That's a classic! I too like it up, especially since I had the GT3 front added.

Great vid post Larry!

I like the look of the wing up and until I get my Type 3 techart (soon) I will continue the 3 finger salute every time I get in the car.
Sport on, PASM off (normal), Wing up!

Nice choice in wing you are getting. It will be TA3, Rinspeed or NR3 for me as well.

Great find on the video Larry, .

So it souds like I'm in the minority for sure in terms of not liking the look of the wing in the up position. I do like the GT3 wing as well as some aftermarket wings on some 997's though, just not a fan of the little wing in the pop'd up position. So for those of you that do like the little wing up, do you leave it up even when your car is parked?

I think Cabs with the GT3 front and no wing look incredible. The Cab has a high hump on it which hides the roof, it's that hump that makes the cabs look real beefy from behind. Keeping the wing down on the cab shows off that a$$ much better, the wing up disruptes everything. I bet if you had a coupe you would see where we are coming from by keeping it up as much as possible. I do park with it 'erect'

I agree with you Joe . I let the wing do its own up/down thing . In fact I feel that at 75 MPH when it rises then it's almost like the inner beast with the car is flexing for a rumble.
