Collection of 997 Narrow Body Rear Wings

I'm not sure how you're coming up with $10k as a rough estimate to add a turbo wing? Based on what I've seen you could probably pull it off for around $5k-6k.
Turbo Wing Cost Breakdown
$1500-2500 (used wing) search and you'll find one
$300 (roughly) new harness specific to turbo wing
$2000 paint
$5k-6k out the door (if your not the DIY install type then figure more for labor)
Some tweaking is involved in getting the ducts to align correctly but from what I've read it's nothing major.

How much wider is the turbo wing compared the the two white ones I was asking about on page 1?
I am considering this too as its the most subtle of the factory offerings.
I can't see any differences in fitting it on wide or narrow as that part of the car is the same.
Differences in 997.1 and 997.2 as there are differences within the engine bay.

air box
when i did the 997TT rear wing conversion I swapped stock air box for Evo air box and all fit great....

paint
Your paint quote is a bit high....more like 1K
Don't need a harness just need someone that knows these cars to wire correctly and has access to the cars wiring diagrams.... and will need a new air box (Evo fits great and sounds good) as stock will rub agianst hydraulics of the 997tt set up....its some work but worth it! You can get out of it for 4-5K imo....all in.

im thinking about tackling this project, love that wing- I saw 2 write ups, one of them the op said was very complicated & required a lot of work on the NB...but the other said it wasn't that big of a deal... Still thought even 5-7k for a wing is a bit steep for me..i've spent so much on mods so far..need to take it easy

Yep, that's what I figured. I priced it high since paint quotes depend heavily on the shop and who you know. Thanks for chiming in with your experience. I have this on my list of future mods once I get through all my routine maintenance (water pump, AOS...)

It would be hard to resist the old tea tray wing!
