I keep thinking of all those mid 80s to mid 90s Porsches I looked at that ran like a miss-firing Ford F150 but were resplendent with the "Turbo" look, swelled rear end, the huge out of place whale tale and some hard-as-a-board racing seat and a ran-out motor, bad gauges, poor brakes, worn tires and a huge price tag, because of that "Turbo" look.

I have a slightly used MK1 Aero decklid with wing at a fraction of the cost for new.

I believe the term "Cessna Wing" was used when I posted this question

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.

The GT3 RS is a wide body car, so the wing is very wide. It will fit on your narrow body car, but it will look large. It's your car, so do what you want. Just be aware of the pit falls.
Nice car
as gota911 says this a wide body ( turbo, c4s style) you can tell by the rear lights, it may look like a picnic table on the rear of a narrow body
The new GT3RS is a wide body. And it's the ONLY one we have known in the states which is what Tim was referring to.
However, the 996GT3RS is a narrow body.
Your car will not look right with the 996GT3RS additions as yours is a prefacelift 996.
If you want it to look really good, then what you are after is the MarkI GT3 aerokit. They are posted up in #4.
ps. and please, whatever you do, please don't slap a GT3 emblem on the back
It's not hard guys. Wide and Narrow is referred to within a model line NOT between generations.
996 GT3 Mark I is NARROW BODY
996 GT3 Mark II is NARROW BODY
997 GT3 is WIDE BODY
Have you thought about contacting them? I would NOT rely on the guesses from guys here unless they know for sure from first hand knowledge. Talk DIRECTLY to the vendor.
Ahhh thats better. I always thought 996 gt3 were narrow bodies. So putting a 996 Gt3 RS wing on my c4 wouldnt actually look EXtremely large like a picnic table right
in a nutshell that is the problem, its all to do with opinion, as you said in your first post, its your car do what you like
imo that car lowered with spacers would look
the spoiler should not dominate the car
Your factory look options for your car are the small "carrera" wing and the other is the "aero" wing often referred to as the taco wing. The taco wing would look awesome on your car and would be period correct.
Sure, it's your car so do whatever you want. However, keep in mind that the proportions will be all wrong and will have zero functional aspect (and potentially adverse) if not paired up with the proper complete aero components.
kr3678 Nice shine/reflection on that 2nd pic
Mine is the black car on page 1 so i am slightly biased - oem/aftermarket
i like the aero kit and i wouldn't like to choose a different spoiler
kr3678 beautiful....
just one small detail that bugs me, next time ya pull the wheels for cleaning or whatever.... turn the crests to point at the valve stems
are those 18" wheels?
In my opinion, the factory hit it out of the park with the MKI GT3 / aero. I feel it was the best narrow body car ever created. Everything just flowed like it should.

That looks to be the factory lip for the Aero bumper just painted body color to match. Same lip was on my old car in the pictures above just hard to make out on my car since it's black.
Any dealer can get it for you, but I don't think it fits on the standard bumper.
I keep thinking of all those mid 80s to mid 90s Porsches I looked at that ran like a miss-firing Ford F150 but were resplendent with the "Turbo" look, swelled rear end, the huge out of place whale tale and some hard-as-a-board racing seat and a ran-out motor, bad gauges, poor brakes, worn tires and a huge price tag, because of that "Turbo" look.
Plastic add-ons are no substitute for the real thing nor do they seem enhancing to me. I don't think you can improve of the Almighty's creation or Porsche's with a nose job and a implant.
I'm not a fan of the Mk1 aerokit either 100plus. It doesn't look bad in pictures here, but in person, never really liked it.
Whatever you do for a wing, make sure to add a lip or something to the front bumper to balance it out. Otherwise it'll just look funny. And some sideskirts would really round out the whole package.
Have you looked at what MA Shaw has to offer? Not sure how much shipping to Singapore would be, but they make great quality stuff and have a lot of interesting wing options.
Thanks guys! The pics were taken at Road Atlanta in October for Petit LeMans.
Don't worry, that will be coming soon. They are currently in the places where the previous owner had them. Yes, they are 18" wheels.
It came with the car; has a Porsche part number stamped into the underside. It is painted to match; needs to be repainted from close encounters of the concrete kind.
Okay, i have decided to go with the GT3 RS Wing for my porky. One more thing, carbon fibre or no carbon fibre?
Anyone knows the best place to get it?
Cheers!
I'm liking the MK1 front bumper. It goes nicely with the Taco Wing.
I'm looking for a wing too. I was thinking of getting the GT2 wing to go with my front bumper.
Now I'm not sure what to do, I'd hate to have to replave the bumper that I have.
What do you guy's think?
Best place to get the OEM wing is Suncoast. I think it's like $6000 these days though.
Also, you're going to need to buy a GT3 deck lid at the same time to mount the wing to.
I have seen a wing from Tech Art which is kind of like the GT2 wing but sits alot lower and does not have as much service area on the side winglets. Sorry, don't have any pictures.
IMO wings look goofy on most cars, stock, aftermarket...whatever.
There comes a point where you need the aerodynamics though, and I accept that a GT3 needs a wing..for this reason I can get past the looks. Factory aero kits...ok maybe just maybe.
But a stock 996 trying to look like a GT3 though...c'mon.
that's just sad. That's the automotive equivalent of stuffing a sock in your pants, or a boob job.
If you can't afford, or can't handle, a GT3 then don't pretend like you can.
Isn't the stock aero identical to the gt3? I MIGHT go with the gt3 rs spoiler at some point down the line, but I'm going to need more down force upfront...
Well, my 40th AE already has X51 w/ 345hp, and GT3 skirts. I am planning on adding X74 suspention, tail and front lip. So am i trying to make it a GT3? NO. But for a street car will be pretty close so why not a GT3 wing and lip to compleate the look.
Now a guys slapping a GT3 badge on a C2 well that is a whole other story.
