what is the best 996 cab wing?

i have a c4 cab with a custom whale tail wing, which i thought i ilked, but not too much any more. i need help or suggestions to what wing would look best on a cab? i like the Mashaw turbo knockoff wing, but i don't want to try to look like something i'm not. dislike the gt2 or gt3 wing, because it's to big and too high. so any suggestions fellas.

eric,
what do you think of the GT2 or Techart type 2 since your car is ultra wide. By Design put a GT2 on a turbo cab and I thought it looked pretty good. If you think its too big what about a turbo wing with a Techart type 1 blade . . . I think Arling's got some pics.

actually Ron, the turbo wing with the techart blade is my favorite setup on any porsche, but the og turbo decklid won't fit, and the knockoff deck lids won't fit the blade. as for the gt2, not to my liking even though everyone seems to like it.


Arling,
do you have any pics on the techart blade, and price. i can probably hack up the turbo deck lid to fit, just didn't want to spend a grip of cash for a wing. wish they just offered the turbo cab 3 years ago.

Too late. Thanks anyway. I thought it looked better on a coup anyway, but you do have terrific taste!

Why would they rag on you. It's one of the more rare units out there. Not too crazy, big, or small. Just perfect! What did you pay for yours?
