Not much action...
Here's a few pics of what I did, not for everyone but it suits my personality...LOUD .

I don't think you're allowed to post active links on here.

But you can google Maxspeed motorsports for the carbon fiber oversized wing.
My int. is red leather with other parts painted.
Also got a 997 Gt2 front-end made to fit on a 996 by wicked porsche and Techart GT street side-skirts from Precision Porsche.

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers,

Sid.

Yep telling me it can't be done is like waving a red flag in front of a horny bull

That said... Alpine 003 is right too I've got a C4S which has the same basic body as a Turbo and even with that it was a crazy job to make the Turbo decklid fit !
On a C2 (narrow body) I don't even want to imagine what you'd have to do, I'm getting nightmares just thinking about it .

Like I've said before... a man who knows what he talking about!
I think they should make the new logo C4$ or a$$

It cost about 6K all in but ended up having to make all kinds of brackest, braces, plates and modifications to airbox.
Truth be told I probably wouldn't do it again way toooooo much work .

Do think if you're going to go the route of putting a new decklid/wing go with an over-sized wing, I was amazed how much more wide it's made the rear end look.

But I think it's about time you started posting some pics of your ride and let us know what kind it is C2, C4 C4s etc.

Lots of things are doable but it depends what type of P. you have.
So PICTURES!!!!

What does this over-sized wing looks like & where can i get it?

Im in the market for one..i think its solid investment for 25K.I really wanted a Cayenne but for that price i would inheret too many issues.

With a few mods & stereo system! It would be like a Weekend Getaway!!

ooooooyh... OK someone help me out here.
That one is just too much typing for me, I'd suggest googling the differences between the models and just lurking around here.

Before you start thinking about what type of mods you're going to do...get the car FIRST!

Okay, let me try for a quick breakdown on that one...

C2 = narrow body rear wheel drive
C2S = wide body rear wheel drive (not available as a 996)
C4 = narrow body all wheel drive
C4S = wide body all wheel drive (Turbo look)
