Decided it was time to tidy a few things that have been bugging me since I bought it. First was the steering column trim, the oem 993 one isn’t meant for a circle wheel so with my Momo installed you see gaps of the controls behind it. This pissed me off so I bought a 964 rs piece that makes it a perfect circle. Nice and clean.

The generic yellow momo one bothered me as it just didn’t fit and that actual Momo porsche horns are hundreds of dollars, so $30 off eBay and boom. It’s the leather one so it should match well.

So I felt that I needed a wing to accommodate the turbo front bumper but I wasn’t sure what to go with. My Oem wing was starting to have the motor give up and with paint coming up it seemed like the right time. A lot of guys go way to big and I feel it looks dumb as the car isn’t a big car to begin with and I feel you need to make big power to back up a big wing. So I finally settled on a RS wing. There’s two different types of RS wings. I got the duck bill lower one. I feel it’ll fit great and look right at home.

> [@Norb O](#): > > Really glad you didn’t do a big ass obnoxious RWB wing on this. Subtle is awesome. Thanks buddy! Tested fitted it tonight before paint. Don’t mind the front wheels. I noticed that my front Oem endlinks were shot so I bought new ones from Rennline. Have them on the rear, figured I’d match the fronts.
