Where do I get this spoiler?? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I did not notice any difference at high speeds. Although I was going strait and not in a turn. I would like to hear from the people that do the road course racing if they have noticed any difference in downforce.

I just ordered one of these. Anybody else put one one? Rear end of the car fall off? Get 98 MPG now? Any other details? Also, a non related question, I want to add my old car as my Avatar, how is this done?

I've had one one for over three weeks now and it's still on good! I recommend that you get some plastic washers for use between the spoiler and the shafts PLUS plastic washers for INSIDE the spoiler also just in case. I was a little unsure how much to torque down on fiberglass but this seemed to relieve me of that uncertainty. My MPG has not changed... oh wait... I'm getting 99MPG now!

Hehe...
I still don't have an avatar either. Just add an image to your signature.

Yes, I used rubber washers from Home Depot the second time I installed mine. Would have been good the first time. Also, check to make sure it's not loose from time to time. It may need to be tightened down a little after a few months.

Were the washers really needed since they 'changed the design'?

I couldn't tell you because I never saw the new design. I think they just added more fiberglass in the spots that were week to make them stronger at the mounts.

The base seemed real thick, but I still wanted to be safe, washers allowed for more cushion. Just have to tighten it up once in a while. Hehe...
