Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Considering an add-on spoiler. These are two I've found. Both are around $275. Any comments or additional alternatives appreciated. Thanks

POST 3Original post

I like "A" . I have seen it on several cars and have thought about putting it on my car. The main reason I like it is because when the wing is down, it blends in with the lines of the car If you like it, buy it!!!!!

POST 4Original post

I have an artic silver spoiler assembly for sale. If you want it as a backup let me know!

POST 6Original post

Any picture of A down? looks a bit like a whale tail, not sure if I like it

POST 7Original post

I have Item A on my car. I like it but all you really need is to please yourself. I left mine black on my Zenith Blue car. I like the contrast. Sometime in the future I may go the route of an aero kit and then the spoiler will go. But for now it is fine with me.

POST 8Original post

Kind of looks like the smaller version of a 944 wing. In other words crap, but less crap.

POST 9Original post

Wrong again...the 944 never had a wing.

POST 10Original post

Wow you really are desperate to try and prove me wrong about anything. Dont bother.

POST 11Original post

Where did you find these? I was planning on eventually doing the 997 GT3 style on mine, but for under $300, that subtle (A) one might hold me over for awhile.

POST 12Original post

Quotes source post: 10657396

Even with a picture you can't see that that is NOT a wing.

POST 13Original post

Holy semantic argument, Batman. Whether it's a "wing" or not, picture A and the rubber thing on the back of the 944 look similar.

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 10657006

Put a photo of it up plus the price you are asking. I might be interested. BTW I like 'A' photo

POST 15Original post

It looks more like the edge of the whaletail found on the late 70's SCs. I like A.

POST 17Original post

I wouldn't mess with the spoiler design, but if I had to I would vote "A". Any pics with it down ?.

POST 18Original post

the 996 has beautiful lines, i would change them. meant wouldn't

POST 20Original post

I was ever in the same situation trying to decide which spoiler to go for. 2 same choices. For choice A, the problem to me was I have never seen it in person or live pictures posted anywhere (none that I can find). It is tough to decide if it will be nice. Choice B, I have seen it on a car. Looks much better live than on pictures. But the middle of the spoiler will sag with time (poorly made replicas?). Original Techarts are likely to be better, but they are costly for a small spoiler IMHO. At the end, I chose none of them, increased my budget went for the Misha GTM Wing instead and never regretted. I suppose you want to keep the active spoiler. If I were to choose between, it will be the look of B.

POST 21Original post

Thanks steveu812! After looking at more pictures of both, I think I'd rather save up for something I really want. If I had to choose between the two, I'd now change my answer to B. it looks better at more angles...

POST 22Original post

My choice would be B. Not too flashy (i.e. taco wing) I agree with KK, choice A looks like a 944; In other words, 1980's retro plastic. If you are going for that look, I think A works. Of course, the best choice is probably stock.

POST 23Original post

I'd vote for A. But I actually prefer 3kgto's suggestion of upping your budget and getting a wing from Misha Sell off the stock spoiler assembly to cover the difference

POST 24Original post

Quotes source post: 10658137

Meh...to both...go Taco

POST 25Original post

I used to put ugly add on **** on my cars too.

POST 27Original post

Looks like crap to me. Why rice up a 911? If you really want a cool spoiler, I suggest something similar to this one (similar body panels will look great on your car too). . .

POST 28Original post

save up and go taco! I know im a little biased but I personally think it's a great looking wing from all angles and its a porsche part so i'd take that as a plus.

Where did you find these spoiler models? On what site? Thnks

POST 30Original post

Quotes source post: 10657275

Nice example here, one might quibble an S2 is not a 944, as a 944 S2 owner, I wouldn't. As far as 996 spoiler, if it's not factory or option, hard to like. Out of all of them I'm a Taco type. Picture from Pistonheads.com web site

POST 31Original post

gawd I hate these necro-bumps.... OP posted this up over four years ago, hasn't been active for at least two.
