951 wing replacement
I really do not like the wing on the 944, it looks like if you take it off you will need a piece of molding to go around it.
Is there anywhere I can get molding to replace remove the wing for a smoother look ? If not can someone point me to where I can get the material needed to covert it to a "s" style setup with just the small wing in the back ?? |

Ah, the spoiler. Now the other question, what do you mean by "covert it to a "s" style setup"? The 944S and S2 had the exact same spoiler.

Yea well I once saw a 944 with a different spoiler I thought it was a cup car. I tried to go find it but couldnt.
Do you know of anywhere that has molding so you can remove the spoiler? |

Short of fiting an OE 924 hatch (the early 924 car from the 70's didn't have any lip spoiler) or fitting a hatch from a 968 (which had an actual wing) I don't know of any easy way to do this. Mind you that even used hatches run several hundred dollars used. New units are well into the thousands.

hmm
I wonder if there is a company that could just make molding to fit around the hatch window like the top of the hatch for the rest so I can remove the spoiler.
They way its designed it seems you would have to have molding to fit on to cover the screw holes that the spolier use. Well perhaps a Project for down the road. thanks for the info though. |

Not too many choices...
S2/968 style....... normally you need the entire hatch to fit properly 968 Turbo S .... adjustable........KINDA big...... A bigger version of our own spoiler.... I can't remember the name. But I agree a bolt on solution that could be removed would be great. .... But no one has bothered. I am surprised the market for theses things would be HUGE.

The 968 spoiler goes straight on, four pieces, you have to make little brackets for 'cover' part, but if I can do it..
It is a huge improvement, but it isn't free |

did you replace the whole hatch ? or did you just remove the spoiler and put molding and the 968 spolier on ?

Yup, the 4 main pieces were off a 968, I then bought the 968 gaskets and the 968 third brakelight...
