All I gotta say is "RICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Personally I would just go with this one.



Honestly, go with the S4 Wing as this is a real 928 Wing.

Not the worst thing you could do to it, but close, frankly.

Plus, you'd need to remove the S spoiler or it would look even worse than Carl's picture.

Removing the S spoiler would require a new hatch or at least non-S hatch trim and patch the holes in the hatch and body where the S spoiler now mounts, plus, new quarter window sealing rubber that would accept the new non-S quarter window trim.

Sorry to be so negative, but I've had a really bad experience with the aftermath of bad wing install.

Here, barf on these. Sorry harborman, ask me how I really feel about it sometime. This wing was not handed to me until I picked up the car. If I had seen it in the corner of the garage, it would have said "young person abused this car- run". Wish I'd seen it.

Eh, maybe this was not a good idea after all! I do like Leo's however, lots of "lift' Off on take off.

Yes. looks like all the little Jap V-Tec mini hot rods I see around here with loud Mexican music playing and big round muffler sticking out the rear. Yes, it was a bad idea a friend suggested to me!!!

You can add it with ease and doing no damage to any 86.5 and later hatch as they have an indentation area for the hatch bolts to go through.

I ran one on an 86.5 for awhile with the factory 3 piece, it looked not too bad imo and it definatly added some downforce.

It looked interesting at first but think I will pass on this idea! At $648 a no go for sure. As someone mentioned "real Honda, Toyota, etc." like.
