Looks really good...not over done. Is the rear wing functional as it looks like it moes up and down.

Glad you went with 19" wheels instead of bling bling pimp looking 20's.

Good Job!

I agree with the above statement.....
A cab takes on a whole different feel !
Definately not liking that wing....but I have yet to see a nice cab wing!

does that wing go up and down like the turbo? and a few more with the top down and from behind would be great

Cabs aren't hard core?

I'm a Cab lover so this is just outstanding. More pix please.
I do agree that the rear wing doesn't seem to fit. But it's more likely the contrasting color than the design. I'm looking for one, and might consider this one. Though so far, these (http://www.mashaw.com/html/product_info.html) seem to be the most visually appealing for a Cab.
And (accepting my bias) I take some issue with the implication that Cabs aren't 'hard core'. Tell Audi that with their R-15 TDI. Or Porsche and Acura and their ALMS cars. It's a perfect analogy, right ??
Seriously, I've read more and more, from people who are coupe folks but happen to sample a Cab that there's no observable difference any more. If there is, it's the extra weight carried aft. The body structure issue is virtually gone. At this point, it almost certainly comes down to the driver.
I'm thinking of starting a 'Cabs are hard-core too' support group.

The Ruf wing is fixed to the decklid. PIWIS is used to shut off the wing deploy button. I think there are only 1 or 2 RT12s out there that have the hydraulic system added based on customer request, but the wing is typically fixed in position.

Red RT12 has the hydraulic system from the 997TT installed (BTW it's pretty darn heavy...defeats the purpose of having a carbon fiber decklid and wing.) Black RT12 is standard decklid - wing combo...
