fast997s-I have the same color 997 and have decided to add the gt3 style front bumper but I've also been perplexed on which rear wing to add. while I like the look of the gt3 wing I also like the the look of the 996 gt3 wing a little better. I've looked all over for something like it for the 997 but nothing is out there that I can find. I found on NR Auto a 997 carrera wing that looks kind of neat-has anyone seen or bought this wing or anything from them? I think their quality must be ok as Suncoast Porsche is selling their gt3 wings. any other suggestions would be helpful.

Nice looking cars, both of them.

For the sake of balancing the cars, both in terms of aesthetics as well as downforce, I'd say go ahead and add the rear spoiler. My personal favourite is the RS wing.

Looks clean but if you don't do the wing I would say a pair of Techart side skirts would compliment the bumper.

I personally prefer GT2 wings. Less bold.
Just ordered mine! Which one did you get?

I have yet to see a GT3 front with a GT3 wing on a Carrera 997 (non-GT3) i think it would look great!

and then i looked 2 posts up...

The GT3 wing looks okay, but i think for a GT3RS wing would look phenomenal!

would the RS wing be too wide for the Narrow body?

I think the RS tail is simply amazing looking, it's very hardcore looking, perfect for the car imo
