Thumbs up rear wing/spoiler install

finally received wing. Fit,finish, paint match, clearcoat are excellent.
Install is tougher than I figured and I ended up doing it my way. There is a real pucker factor drilling that first hole.

Nice subtle wing - looks great.

BTW, did you swap your exhaust tips for non-"S"? I thought those only came on the standard Carrera?

if nobody knows what it is, then why put in on?
Now you have to change the tips and paint the calipers :-)
I like the wing, looks oem.

I have a standard Carrera but added dual black tips, came with red calipers and added the black "911" badge. I wouldn't badge mine as an "S" because it's not, but to each their own.

Looks great - Turbo wheels have a nice design to them.

The only other thing to change is the face of the instrument panel to white along with the tips. Not sure if you're interested, but a set of PSE style tips would look good. I bought my set from Maxspeed.
