Please elaborate. I'm on the fence with this one. I have to admit that part of me likes the wing look, ala gt3rs and the like (or the gt2 wing) and part of me likes the fact that it looks stock.

Anyone else with their opinions and advice on the matter?

I think if you're going to do a rear wing you need something to balance it out in the front as well (either a lower lip) or new front bumper. One without the other kind of throws off the car (appearance & balance).

I'd keep it wing-less. I know I wasn't tempted by wings and spoilers when I had my carrera. There's something pure about looking at a 911 carrera with no huge wing.

Nice look with the spacers!

^Exactly what I mean. A wingless 911 looks so slick. The downslope is so damn sexy I am not sure why anyone would want to disrupt that profile.

If it was purely functional and you needed the extra downforce for the track, get the gt3rs wing. If not, leave it alone

Thank you again guys. I hate to admit that my decisions are based on what you guys say, but no wing.

did you put up "No Parking" signs at home or is the backdrop in the PICs maybe a public building. Jox assumes it's your house. If it is very nice. So is the car. Nice stance. BTW no wing vote from me. Keep it stock.

Um, that "house" is a 20,000 sq foot building at SOKA university. I couldn't afford the utilities on that place....
