that wing looks perfect on your car! Love the LED accents for lights. I changed all my bulbs for LEDs and I'm super happy!

What was wrong with the OEM brakes? I worked my brakes hard, and never had an issue the OEM brakes not working well enough.

Nothing wrong with the brakes only in the track they have some high temp so you coudnt brake so hard after a few laps...and the size of the turbo are much better looking and much stronger belive me!!

I have come in with brakes smoking, turned two sets of calipers from red to a purple black colour, and never had brake fade. I think you could have achieved the same results with a better brake pad.

The turbo wing is my next mod for sure for my cab. I'm definitely a wing guy but not many wings look good on the cab.

Mind sharing what's involved with the turbo wing and was it a costly install? I'm sure I can find the turbo wing part but not sure how much it would cost to install.

TIA

Hi. Can't tell, did you get responses to this post? I am in same boat. Have 2004 C4S Cab love the turbo wing. Purchased entire 996 turbo trunk lid complete with spoiler and all the hardware and am looking for some guidance on install. Can see not a direct plug & play, but have been told reasonably doable with replacing air box with after market. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
