I ordered the factory wiring harness that replaced the standard harness because the third brake light wasn't functional after disconnecting the factory wing and installing the GT3 wing.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Forgive me ignorance as I am new at this 911 thing. Did any of the 99-2005 cars come with a whale tail? Would love to add one to my 99 Coupe. Aftermarket or factory woudl be fine by me. Just love that look.
Thanks Mike
Hi Mike,
you can get the OEM fixed wing spoilers gt2/3 style
however there is about a googleplex of aftermarket spoilers available
but remember if you do switch to a fixed wing from a standard you will need to add additional bit of wiring to disable the spoiler light on the dash (I believe there is about 90 post on RL with how to do this.)
below is just one example from fibrewerks
Actually... you won't get rid of the spoiler light until you begin to move for the first time after starting the car - after that it won't come on again until the next time you start the car. I ordered the factory wiring harness that replaced the standard harness because the third brake light wasn't functional after disconnecting the factory wing and installing the GT3 wing. After I did this it was disconcerting to find the light was coming on for a few seconds - although not after that. So I asked a dealer about it and the reason I was given was that Porsche couldn't disable the light completely as it is a double use light - it lights up if your engine deck lid isn't shut. Apparently the once only cycle of the light was the lessor of two evils such as not having a third brake light and no open deck warning. Now this may only apply to 99's or 0's and was cured in later models but I am sure about the third brake light not working without the different harness. +1 as people have said here on the front splitter as the aero balance will be offset to the rear without it.
Ok, I wasn't saying you'll get rid of the light forever I was just pointing out that you will also need a extra consideration when adding a fixed wing!
awe yes, the good ole' days
the ones I've had rubbed in my face 10,00 times since
I kind of like that we keep this alive - make me feel smarter each time
Nope. In fact I
lost
25lbs from removing the entire 'metal' engine cover and OEM wing and 'wing guts'
and in it's place went the fiberglass engine cover and fiberglass fixed upper element.
