actually, i think the c4s looks great (better?) without a wing from the back, but like all 911s without wings, the side view lacks...something.

the stock 996TT wing is sad...and i am sadly stuck with it. lol but better than nothing.
You are never stuck with anything

There is easy GT2 bolt on solution for your yellow TT

somehow I never cared for the GT2's down-swept wing look. the design doesn't flow.

I agree that from the back C4S' look great with no wing, and that from the side a wing does add a lot.

i think if they'd just make the deck lid curl up a bit more or make the rear bumper more pronounced then it'll be okay. the C4S doesn't need a full wing to look right on the side.

trailing a C4S from a tall vehicle like a land rover is an amazing sight. i could look at that fine *** for miles.

The C4S is the cleanest meanest looking of the P cars if you have wing it better be a GT2/3 or a TT no fronters allowed!

Once? Just once? What have I ever said that's so unappreciative?

I like that wing better than the GT2. How'd it look on a TT though? Anyone with a TT using that wing?

Eric, looking at the pic at the front of the thread...so when the wing is down, it does not hit the body of the car? How much flex does it have? Will it knock against the bodywork if you go over a rough section of road? I know carbon fibre is supposed to be extremely strong, but I have no personal experience with it.

Thanks
The bolt on wing on the yellow TT is the wing I make and the answer is no. It will not hit the body of the car under any condition of the road.
