I've been looking at a 2018 718 GTS which appears to have had a wing (unfortunately) installed. The car otherwise is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for and is in great shape - 1 or 2 owner, very well maintained (based on Carfax records), 23k miles, well-equipped $98k MSRP, asking of $74k by a Porsche dealer.

Are there any significant concerns with having the wing? It sounds like it'll make the front end lighter and increase understeer, anything else that should prompt me to look elsewhere?
Since the trunk lid is drilled, removing the wing looks like a pretty big job. From what I can tell, I could:

- Remove and plug the holes - not the best on a $74k car
- Remove, fill the holes, and repaint - probably not cheap, also a lot of work
- Replace the lid - also not cheap and a lot of work
