Updating my 911 with aero kit sides skirts and front bumper. Have not decided on whether to go out and put a rear wing? Any thoughts? If yes, which one should I consider. Thanks .... A

 

Personally I think the 996 in general looks 10X better with a rear wing. But when I was a kid all of my 911 Hot Wheels had big whale tail wings, so that's what has been ingrained in my head as the "proper" look for a 911.

I've got the TechArt wing and like it, but although a little big I really like the Gemballa whale tail type of wing.

 

If you are truly going aero then go taco all the way
This is the best part of the aero package.

 

What wing do you have on yours?

 

Taco wing....factory aero

 

What year is your car? If its MK1 then the taco wing is the way to go.

 

If you add a front spoiler, Porsche says you must add a rear wing for aerodynamic performance. And, it does look better.

 

+1 - Shame it won't work on a cab...

 

did all your hot wheels cars look like this???

 

So, with bumper and sideskirts, what wing for a Cab?

 

We have the aerokit tail for the cab



Gt3 tail



Gt2 tail



We just finished one on a customer's car too here

That is not correct. Due to the weight distribution on 911s, you need to replace the front bumper to an aero improving front downforce when adding a rear wing. You can, however, change to an aero front bumper and sideskirts without adding a rear wing.

 

Yea. It's hard to tell when these car companies are giving out automotive engineering information or profit engineering information.

I ran a taco wing with the stock bumper, and despite triple digit speeds, I was not able to get the car to flip front over back more than a couple of times.

When I switched to a C4S bumper, I couldn't feel a bit of difference. Nor could I tell a difference when I put on a GT3 RS wing.

If the car weighs around 3000 pounds, and the front carries around 40%, or around 1200 pounds, you can spare a few pounds of downforce and still keep the shinny side up.

 

When I went to a GT3 bumper I could tell a difference when going fast. It didn't have that floaty feeling anymore. I don't have the fixed wing.

 

edwin how much for this wing? and can we see more pics please? thanks
