Rear Spoilers
I'm looking at adding a rear wing to a 96 SC300 5speed and I'm curious as to why with all the SC's with body kits, 19 and 20" tires there are few SC's with anything more than the standard spoiler depending on year. Why???

I installed the 97-00" spoiler since it appears to make the car look newer...
the flush spoiler is smooth and looks good but is dated IMO...
Honestly, they both are nice and really depends on what catches your eye..

There's a thin line between "niiiice!" and "riiiice!!"

Thanks for the opinions and I thought Porsche people were "fanatical". I'm still confused on how putting on a "body kit" or adding 20in wheels does not make the car a "ricer" I guess its that fine line and everyone is going to have an opinion on when you cross it.

In regards to the original, put whatever you find pleasing to YOUR eye on YOUR car. People's taste change all the time. A few years ago, there was no such thing as rice. Now a days, anything and everything can be rice.
It's your car, you can mod it as nice and as ugly as you want.

For wings, I love the look of the 92-96 wing, but like everyone already said before, it's up to you.
