Though I have never personally tried them, I have heard that the best wings can be found at a joint called Hooters?

I'd have to disagree, Hooters wings could never be considered "aftermarket"! As far as wings, why not an original OE carrera wing? I've seen plenty around and the quality is better then any reproduction.

I agree with the above.
Get a good used OE Carrera wing. They are the best, and your car deserves it! Most that try to save a couple hundred by getting an aftermarket Carrera wing end up regretting it. Some people on this very forum, for example! |

Any suggestions for a source of OEM Carrera wings (84-89). I have tried this board, rennlist and Ebay (particularly bad experience with Ebay - costs $$$$ and misrepresented tail).
North of the border a new OEM tail is about $1500-2000 CAD. I have been looking for nearly a year to no avail. I am certainly not interested in fiberglass repro, etc.

Not sure about Canada, but good used OEM tails are advertised in the US in the $600-$700 range all the time.
