    I've seen a picture of the Belgium F-club of a white 599 GTO with 599XX wings on the C-pilar.
    I was wondering if its a option or done by the owner it self.

    Could soneone post a picture

    I thought I remembered hearing that this would be an option on the GTO, but I have not seen one equipped with them.

    That was the rumour. But it was never offered on the GTO. I guess someone would need to buy an XX!

    I know that there is a white one with these wings but I've no picture of it.
    It's a Belgium car.

    i always thought the dog ears would complete the GTO in the looks department.

    I think the fins behind the wheels should have made it to the production car, I think they look great on the XX

    A Carbon-air-intake-plemium would've made a better option than the "dog-ears".

    Personally I think the GTO looks much better without them. I prefer the "clean" look.

    I think they make the car look like Pongo :D

    Jokes aside, regardless the fact that these wings might be an advantage aerodynamically, but IMHO there is nothing like a clean side line on a car ;)

    Greetz,
