New 996 owner looking for opinion on best looking wing

Hi, I'm a fairly new 996 owner and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised with how nice this car is after researching the car for years and hearing complaints about various issues.. My car is a Black 99 C2 with LSD, IMS done, and very low miles. I'm looking to update the looks of the car with new clear Porsche headlights, led tail lights, new rear wing/spoiler, and possibly front and rear bumpers. I just wanted to see what wing you guys think looks best on a narrow body C2 and how makes the best quality wing. Let me know you opinion.. Thank you!

no affiliation whatsoever,... but here's a nice sample of what's available http://www.gettydesign.com/996_tailbases.php

why mess with an already beautiful car by adding a wing? Are you intending to track the car?

Nice variety on that website, Fracture. I'm not a huge fan of most of the wings on the 996 body. I think the "taco" wing looks very dated, and most of the larger wings are just obnoxious. (I'm talking aesthetics here, not performance). Just my .02. That said, some of the "turbo" style wings look good, and the GT2 & GT3 style are nice. Even the smaller "ducktail" variety aren't bad, but if you stray too far from one of the OEM looks, it just looks childish.

The one that comes with it.

whichever one you think looks best. I'm a big fan of stock.

Threads where someone asks other people what their opinion should be seldom end well. Do you have any impressions to start with, like Porsche or aftermarket, factory-looking or outlandish track wing? I think the MKII wing is the best looking wing - which is why I bought a 996 with a GT3 (AKA Aero Kit 2) wing on it. The "correct" wing for your car - if it had come with an aerokit from Porsche - would be the taco spoiler.

The Misha wing is my second favorite... Note that some of the wings are adjustable - mine, for example, is flat in the last photo, but I currently run 8-degree shims to make the wing push a little harder. Looks like this: Here's a shot from a high-performance driving school showing my wing with no shims (back), a taco spoiler (front), and a big-azz GT3-RSish track wing (middle):

thanks for that site, I am a fan of mk2 aerokit as well, and probably will replace my aerokit I with it someday. (whole kit/bumpers/headlights/sills etc) but I only would prefer the oem parts

thanks frisbee, was reading the ducktail wing thread for GTS and gg'ld '996 ducktail'.... no wing for me, prefer the looks of stock..but there is ducktail wing that I find appealing too

PFBZ provided the manufacure of the wing on my newly aquired 996. I really like the look of it! Tech art rear wing II http://www.carshine.com.au/index.htm...%20Styling.htm

My favorite is the factory, electronically actuated wing. The 996 GT3 wing is the best looking fixed wing in my opinion. Wish someone made a ducktail for the 996.

Ducktail? here you go... http://mashaw.biz/996Ducktail.asp I kinda like this one too ... http://mashaw.biz/ERSDucktail.asp Or this http://mashaw.biz/996Turbofor996.asp

I really like that - reminds me of the 911 Turbo (930).

In my opinion, the GT2 Wing is the best looking for the 996

+996 Thanks to the PO, car came with full aero.....good thing I also liked the wing (not OEM but by Techart like the other pieces: rear winglets, side skirts and front lip)

Go Taco or Go Home

I don't know what it is, but it came from the factory on my '02 C2.

I agree, until I find a donor for one of these:

Here are a couple of good wings.

-1 - the taco is heinous.

I like the taco, but you need the whole aero kit to accompany it

I like your subdued spoiler, Kromdom. Not so hot on the rear side-skirt but the rest looks fabulous.

Here is mine, I bought it off of eBay and I am not sure who made it.

If putting a wing on, the car has to have the GT3 front end and side skirts. I love my taco but also like the mkII GT3 aero. The GT2 looks great too, but only on wb cars IMO

I think the Taco looks Sexy

What factory Ford? That ain't from the pcar factory.

Tacos are not sexy. Well, except for TJ street tacos. Those can be sexy briefly, and then you must start looking for a lavatory.

[QUOTE=sfv_rider;11958697]I don't know what it is, but it came from the factory on my '02 C2. ] Is that your ZHP? Sunroof?

Some nice wings here but I don't get putting a wing on a cab!!

Prefer the classic one

^^^ That's cause it's yours LOL!! It is really nice BTW!!

must be in the eye of the beholder Other than a race car, most wings look stupid and are poser unless it came from the factory with one line TT, GT3, RS, etc Sorry, that's my opinion and we all know what opinions are like

True, but by driving a Porsche aren't we all just poser RACECAR drivers?? I am at least, haha.

Also, here's my spoiler project in progress. Replica taco wing that fits in the spot where the auto-spoiler goes.

Yep, '04 330i with ZHP package, 6MT, and sunroof. My wife's car, when she has to drive somewhere (she works from home).

I've known two people with red sunroof delete ZHP sedans. Great autocross cars and DDs!
